Sometime after 8:31pm PST on 7 February, tweets from my Twitter account stopped automatically posting to Facebook. Nothing seemed to have changed, so trying to fix the problem was troublesome. I finally figured it out, so here are step-by-step instructions on getting your tweets back onto Facebook:
1. Go to the Twitter app page on Facebook. If you have previously allowed Twitter to paste to your Wall, you’ll see a checkbox next to “Facebook Profile”. Uncheck it. If the little spinny circle doesn’t go away, refresh the page and ensure it’s unchecked.
2. Send a tweet.
3. Check the “Facebook Profile” box. Again, if necessary, refresh the page to ensure the box is checked.
4. Send another tweet. This tweet (but not the previous one) should show up on Facebook.
Update for 15 February: It would appear that things have gone south again and these instructions no longer work. I’ll try to figure out another solution. Or, if you have another solution, feel free to post it in the comments below!
Update for 16 February: It would appear that things have got back to their “normal” state of breaking and working again, so these instructions should work! Isn’t Facebook fun?
worked like a charm! thanks!
You’re a total champ mate! Thanks!
All fixed, exactly as you said.
Worked like a charm! Thank you!
ive been looking for a fix for the longest time. Thanks so much!
it’s still not working for me :(
The page with the little box to click redirected after 1 second to the Allow/Deny page, which no longer has the ability to decide whether or not to allow twitter to update the FB wall.
Agreed that things have ‘gone south’ again. My tweets no longer posting. Will let you know if/how I fix it!
It worked for me today, thanks…
Thanks so much, it worked for my pages! Hopefully it STAYS that way now. Cheers!
I tried it today and it still works! Thanks so much!
I just done it there bud and worked like a charm, cheers!
When I used Firefox I got endless redirects, but when I tried it in Safari it worked. Thank you, sir
Worked like a charm. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the straightforward instructions. Other people were advising clearing caches, signing in and out of both Facebook and Twitter accounts and genuflecting to Mark Zuckerberg to get it to connect and work properly. Yours: Simple. Good.
Thank you!
WHOO HOO!O!!!! I’ve been trying ALL kinds of solutions and this simple one FINALLY fixed it!! Hooray!! Thank you!!!
Nice one. Thanks!
Thanks for the instructions! That’s been bugging me for a coupla weeks now and finally had to do something about it.
Best way to fix this:
Remove app through the “Choose Your Privacy SettingsApps, Games and Websites” section. Then log out of facebook, then log back in, then re-add the twitter app, then re-authorize permissions to post from twitter to facebook ->tweet to test!
Its still working… Thanks a ton…
thank you! didn’t know it wasn’t synced for a while now…
WORKES FINE NOW, THNX!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! Works great now.
Hello, Really great wonderful post. Thank you very much for your detailed information. Best Regards
Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to figure out what was wrong for months!
didn’t work for me :(
Thank u really helped worked fine
After deleting both at both ends and going through the whole “allowing process” – it worked! But only after the 2nd or 3rd Tweet – so be patient folks.
Thanks Matthew! ;O)
