Facebook Status Update Problem-HELP!

Postby Michael Stead on Thu Sep 09, 2010 10:48 pm

Hey what's going on my friends :)

Mr. Michael Stead here and I need a little help from all you gurus out there.

For whatever reason, when I try to update my status on facebook that contains a link (i.e. back to my blog posts, articles, videos, etc. ) My status doesn't update but rather it just shows up on my wall. Has anyone had this problem? The only concern that I have is that my links aren't showing up on the news feed which means that I'm not getting a lot of traffic back to my stuff.

If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know!

Hi Michael,

I have had the same problem. So I don't think it's not just you. It's most likely how FB is configured.

Just thought I'd let you know ;)

Hello Michael,
I get the same reaction when I attach a link in Facebook. Even if I don't want to attach a link but just give my url, it still creates a link. It does show up both on my wall and the news feed (if you are on the 'most recent' feed - not the 'top news'). Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ann

Yes, I too have been having problems with FB. They want to do a security check by using my mobile phone and texting them. I don't feel totally comfortable with doing it, and when I try to click on other options, nothing happens..anyone having that problem, as well on FB. What kind of risk am I running using my mobile phone texting for security clearance?? I realize these 2 problems may not be quite the same, though they both are problems concerning FB.

if you have a selfhosted wordpress blog it is very easy.
install the all in one seo plugin

if you want a picture included, just add a featured immage.

When you post a URL to your status DON'T share a link (using those icons below the box). Just type the URL. But even when you just type a URL in the status box, Facebook will make a link attachment below the the status box! So DELETE the attachment below the status box (don't delete the URL itself you typed in) and when you post your message, it will show up correctly.

I typically just type the link in. No code, just text. Sometimes I keep the attachment, sometimes I don't...just depends how it looks with my update. Both ways work find from my end.

Wow I was expecting a couple responses from this but certainly not to the level from which you guys just demonstrated. You see that's what I like about this community...everyone here is more than willing to help everyone out. You guys rock! Thank you so much for clearing this issue up for me and I have a few ideas to try now in order to clear this problem up.

Have an awesome day my friends :)
