Although the publicize box is checked when I schedule the posts, they are not pushing to Facebook upon being published. I have to manually go in and update the post by checking publicize again and then they are finally pushed over to FB. Page is set up associated with a personal profile (but posting to page) and appears to be connected normally. Can anyone help?

I am connected to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn & Yahoo. When I look at the list of sites that I want to publicize to and that I am connected to, only Twitter and Tumblr are checked off on the list. FB, LinkedIn and Yahoo are unchecked. I check them, update the post and still the posts will not link with those sites and they are unchecked again.

Publicize was working fine up until three months ago and I don't know what is causing it.

You help is appreciated.
Thank You.

Facebook Pages

If you would like to Publicize your posts to your Facebook page, instead of your Facebook profile, click on the “Set Options” link underneath Facebook on your Settings -> Sharing page. You will need to connect your blog to Facebook first. You will need to use a Facebook account that has a Profile with administrative rights to the Page.

but whatever. wordpress needs to be better with their support. they could have easily cleared this up and replied back saying it was not allowable instead of just letting everyone fiddle with it. if they insist on not letting anyone contact them directly, they should at least be more attentive to the forum.

Troubleshooting
Static pages will not be publicized.

After connecting/re-connecting the services, you will need to publish a new post in order to publicize it.

If you see the message “Error – See Support” (see image below) after connecting to Facebook, there is a problem with the Facebook account being used. Only Facebook Pages that have an associated Profile can be used with Publicize. Follow the Reconnecting Facebook steps above and connect to a Facebook Profile that has administrative rights to the Page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#troubleshooting

If facebook is not allowing publicizing for pages shouldn't those instructions be removed from wordpress so we don't all get frustrated??

Facebook has prevented us from publicizing to page-only accounts, and we have no way around that.

and since they refuse to let you contact them directly, they should at least acknowledge the glitch that is happening to many users here and work toward fixing it.

I discovered from one of your previous posts regarding support pages (thank you) and went to the "sharing" on the dashboard and see that fb and twitter are both enabled there. So it seems like there must be some issues for the tech people here perhaps. Thanks again!!

I know many people who use RSS Grafitti and say they have no issues at all. Note that I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

Then, I thought because I didn't see it so I clicked on the fb widget on the published post. But, since then it doesn't show up unless I click on the fb widget in the published post. Could I have done something inadvertently that turned it off?

When I go to edit the post, I see the "publicize" in the right side bar. It shows fb and twitter. If I click "edit" there, both boxes are checked next to fb and twitter but they are greyed out. Does this tell you anything about what is going on?
Thank you timethief for attempting to help!!!

But doesn't seem to show unless I do the aforementioned step. ?????

I computer illiterate mostly. I went to "Links" and put my fb address there and my ArtFire site address. I was hoping a link would show up in my posts to those two sites, but I'm not seeing anything, but I've not posted anything since doing that. Is this what the "Links" is for?????? Or, am I just confusing the blog site with my illiterate-ness of computing?

Can someone help?????
Thank you.

You can use Networked Blogs http://www.networkedblogs.com/ or RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer. RSS Graffiti periodically checks the RSS/Atom feeds that you specify and posts any new entries it finds to the Facebook Walls that you specify. You can get any feed written on any wall (Facebook Profiles, Fan Pages, Groups, Events and Application Profile Pages). In fact, multiple feeds to multiple walls. You choose the combination.

I've been trying to turn on publicize for the facebook account (www.facebook.com/acidfreepulp). I go through all of the hoops (the facebook account is set to allow wordpress through) and I even get a message on top of my wordpress saying "You have successfully connected your WordPress.com blog with your Facebook account." But nothing. It still says disconnected from facebook which of course means no setting options to automatically publish posts. Any solutions???

thanks.
