    Follow this guide to completely reconnect Publicize to the correct account: http://jetpack.me/support/publicize/facebook/#reconnecting-facebook

    I don’t see the “ad new” button next to the FB logo on my FB page. Or am I supposed to be on my WP site?

    You will see it if you’ve done the first 4 steps. 🙂

    After I click on Dashboard, I don’t see a settings button except in the left hand side bar of wordpress. If I click on that, I only see “Social Sharing”. Is that where I am supposed to be? Are there screen shots somewhere that I can look at. My visuals do not seem to match.

    If you’re doing Publicize via Jetpack, you’ll have a Settings -> Sharing section in your blog’s Dashboard after logging in at http://dniphotography.com/wp-login.php

    As far as I know, I am not doing anything with Jetpack.

    I clicked on “connect to Jetpack” button just to see what would happen and it goes to a login page, then asks “are you sure you want to do this?”. That got me nervous so I backed out. So I don’t think I’m using Jetpack.

    Ok, sorry, I misunderstood from your initial request.

    When you say “Share on Facebook” is that just the link below the post?

    If so, that will go to whatever portion of Facebook the viewer is logged in to. For example, for me, it will go to my personal wall, because that’s what I’m logged in to.

    Yes it’s the link below the post.

    I logged out of my personal FB account. Closed Chrome, opened Chrome, logged into my FB business account, went to my website, clicked on share on FB, and it still goes to my personal FB account.

    Should that have been enough to direct me to my business FB account?

    It should. In this case, I recommend contacting Facebook.

    Thanks. I’ll give them a try.

    A “Share on Facebook” link is for someone to share that particular post or page of your site on their Facebook Timeline. This is why it requests one to login to Facebook when they ‘click’ the button or link.

    The “Tweet this post” and “Pin Image” links do the same for Twitter and Pinterest users – they sign in to tweet or pin your post or page on their Twitter or Pinterest.

    If you want someone to go to your Facebook business page, then you create a link to it somewhere on your site – like you already have in your menu.

    DUH. So you mean it links to the visitors FB page, NOT my business page?

    See. That’s why I’m a photographer and not an IT person. Maybe I could blow up a computer.

    No, it doesn’t link anyone to any specific page. When I click “Share on Facebook” I’m invited to share your post with my friends on my page.

    Got it. Thanks.
