A test post shows on my website, but doesn't show up on FB. It started suddenly this afternoon. Anyone else having this problem?

Janet,
I just commented on the home page, and it worked for me. I'm leaving the comment there, but feel free to hide it so others don't see (or I can delete it when you respond to this).

The post did show up in my Wall as expected, of course, that was with the "Post to Wall" box checked. The image is pulling the Facebook affiliate image, which I believe we mentioned how to add an Open Graph tag to pull your logo or other image in another post.

So.. hope that helps let you know that it is working. However, if it's not for you, we'd recommend from a different account (to test) or on a different page of your site. Posting multiple times from the same page has different effects for the priority that FB will show those posts in your wall. It's possible multiple posts just cause the newer ones to simply get shoved down or not shown at all to prevent multiple posts from looking spammy.

Good luck,
Alex

I think it may be the "spammy"-looking thing. Works now, and I'll resume work on my Open Graph stuff tomorrow when I can see straight.

Thanks,
Janet

Glad to hear it. Doing anything too much with posting to the wall can cause FB to simply block extra posts out to prevent issues. If you were testing comments by posting, deleting, reposting, or anything like that, that's likely what happened.

Either way, glad it's working, and let us know if you run into any other issues!
