  Hi there,
  I have linked my wordpress page with my Facebook page but everytime I publish a new blog post the blog link appears on Facebook with attributed to someone else.

  For Example if I publish a blog post, I’ll look on Facebook and the link says “By XXX Patel”. I do not know this person nor are they authors for my wordpress. Their Facebook URL is ‘www.facebook.com/author’ so I figure this has something to do with it.

  Please help! My blog posts are being miscredited!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!

  Thanks for the report. We’ve seen a few instances of this, and we’re looking into why this might be occurring. I checked out your page here:

  https://www.facebook.com/thenoisyvuvuzela

  Currently, I don’t see any mention of XXX Patel. Did you remove these from your pages by chance? Could you grab a screenshot of how this is appearing on your side? Screenshot instructions can be found here:

  Take a Screenshot

  Just upload the screenshot to your Media Library, and I’ll take a look!

  Check The Noisy Vuvuzela’s fb page again. The ninth post down says it was written by Praveen Patel. Praveen Patel apparently wrote the fourth post down on my page (https://www.facebook.com/videodame), also.

  He really gets around!

  I have the same problem, it is Praveen Patel who apparently writes my articles, when posted to facebook…:
  

  Did anybody find a solution?

  My second post down is also being attributed to Praveen Patel. Who is this guy? https://www.facebook.com/RecomN

  Hi everyone,

  We don’t have an updated on this issue just yet. We definitely appreciate the additional reports. Rather than linking to your Facebook page, if you could provide the link of the specific WordPress.com post that is causing the issue on Facebook, that would be very helpful!

  It was this post, http://videodame.com/kicked-it-perception/ though now it seems to be fixed.

  Looks like the other commenters’ posts are fixed, too. Weird!

  The issue definitely appears to be intermittent. We’re still receiving a few reports so not sure if this is totally resolved just yet. Will keep you updated!
