  HA I was actually coming to report the same issue. Same exact probable with same exact problem link – http://widgets.wp.com/likes/master.html?ver=20141028 –

  I posted the article to my Facebook page okay, but then when i go to edit or share that original post this pops up. Perhaps the problem started immediately after 11:18 am because thats when my first posted okay but no others did.

  All my old articles post just fine, but the one I just published before is having this problem.

  Please please help us! I reported this to Facebook and can’t find the proposed ‘link’ anywhere in my article.

  The site this is occurring with is TheInsightfulPanda.com

  I scouted online, people are suggesting that we must opt for facebook advertising as their support team takes as long as 3 months to solve such issues :(

  This is annoying, I haven’t had any objectionable content on the site and this is a consistent error that many other bloggers are facing as well. (Given Stackflow and other forums online)

  Please help!

  Facebook advertising? As in we have to pay for help?

  That is ridiculous!

  It looks like it’s working again *knock on wood*. So was this a Facebook fix or a WordPress fix. Whoever fixed it, thank you! And hope yours is okay now too calvy! :D

  Yes joevsknight, strangely (in a good way though), now it is working :)

  Yet, I hope it remains so. Apparently many have been hit by it, see this news report: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3063433/Have-hit-Facebook-s-latest-bug-Flaw-means-millions-posts-deleted-t-share-links.html

  Indeed! I’ve seen that too. On the bright side, at least that means these problems ‘if recurring’ have a fix. We can hope for the best i suppose.

  Anyway, thanks for reporting this first and best of luck! I’ll be sure to check out Dog With Blog too! :D

  They replied that they will look into it. For now, it’s working however since there are so many of complaints regarding this on forums, hope a permanent solution could be worked upon.

  Thanks team, you may close the thread.
