Publicize not linking FB posts back to website

    I’ve been using publicize connecting to Facebook for a couple of years on a client site without any problems however just in the past few months they’ve started to have a problem with the publicize posts on Facebook no longer linking back to their site. For a while the feature image wasn’t showing at all but that seems to have corrected now, however the post is going up on FB without any links back to the site, obviously defeating the purpose of posting it in the first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Since I’m not a Facebook friend of their Facebook profile, I cannot see what the posts look like. Could you make a screenshot and post it here so I can take a look? You can use a service like http://snag.gy/ to share the screenshot here.

    Thanks!

    Sometimes the ‘Vortex published [article name] on WordPress’ link up the top appears, sometimes it doesn’t, either way it’s not adequate as people aren’t noticing it to click on it. We much preferred the previous method of just making the entire post a link back to the website post, but for some reason it’s stopped doing that.

    Also the ‘continue reading ->’ link isn’t a link at all just plain text, and none of it links to the website.

    Thanks for the screenshot, I understand the issue now.

    Jetpack now uses Facebook’s new Open Graph types, and thus integrates better within Facebook. Images and galleries and directly integrated into Facebook, and look like any other image you may have uploaded to Facebook
    But it also means that the links to your posts are not as visible as before, indeed.
    I took note of your remark regarding “Continue Reading”, and we’ll see if we can add a link there.

    I’ll post again as soon as I have some news.
