These instructions seem to apply to someone who has used Publicize, but I haven't.

I've just tried to disconnect and reconnect. Then tried to save a draft.
Everything seems fixed, now.

Hopefully the fix I've just put in place will allow you to disconnect properly, then connect and get publishing.

I have another private blog connected to a totally separate username and email. ibsimpact.wordpress.com should only be connected to Twitter at the moment. We have a FB page and widget but have not connected it to publicize automatically. Thanks for your help.

That leaves you stuck in a bit of a limbo position.

I'm working on a fix for it now.

I don't see any Publicize connections of any kind for http://margatesands.wordpress.com/

@blakecoffee: I see you have the same Twitter account connected to 4 different blogs. Can you please disconnect it from all of them, then go back and connect it one at a time and check the Post Editor page and see when/if the Twitter (2) (or any other problem) comes back?

@stuwj: Are you using the username "stuwj" to log into WordPress.com? I only see one connection (to a Twitter account) for that user. Also, which blog/URL are you seeing this on?

@ibsimpact which username/blog are you posting on? I don't see any record of any Publicize connections for your account.

Logged out of blog account and logged in. Still says Connected. Now, one of my recent tweets that wasn't showing up before does show up in the widget, but one still doesn't.

Before this problem, if I didn't wish to publicize automatically on posting (which I don't, because WP seems to count characters differently from Twitter and tweets get cut off), I would leave the Twitter box unchecked, and go to Twitter to post, then it would show up automatically. Should I still do this, or do I need to check the box in WP? I don't want to post each tweet twice by accident.

Also, today I've started seeing "Twitter (2)" in the Publicize dialog on a draft page - there are two Twitter feeds ticked in there when there should only be one, and one of them is greyed-out so I can't turn the feature off!!

Likewise, repeated attempts to disconnect the service on the Sharing page don't work. It's happening across all 3 of my devices and I haven't done anything to provoke it!

My Twitter widget seems to register my retweets automatically when I tweet from the Twitter website. But my own blog posts have not shown up for a couple of weeks, either from Publicize or from the Twitter site. I prefer to tweet posts manually from the Twitter site, but in the past, they have always shown up in the feed in my WP widget soon after. My settings show that my blog is connected to Twitter.
