Post to your Facebook page with Jetpack Social

Automatically publish your blog posts to the Facebook pages that you manage, no paid plan required. Sharing your content to Facebook boosts visibility and engagement and drives more traffic to your blog.

Connect your site to your Facebook page

Since 2018, third-party tools such as Jetpack can only share posts to Facebook pages, not profiles. If you’d like to share any concerns with Facebook, please visit their Help Center.

You will need to use a Facebook profile account that has administrative rights to the target page. A page-only account, Facebook Groups, or a page managed by Facebook Business Manager cannot be used with Jetpack Social. If you’d like to remove a Facebook page from Facebook Business Manager, you can follow the instructions here.

Connect your Jetpack Social to your Facebook page by following these steps:

From your WP Admin, navigate to Jetpack -> Social.
Under the Automatically share your posts to social networks section, click on Connect an account.
Find Facebook in the list and click the Connect button.
Follow the prompts to log into your Facebook account.
If you’re connecting your website to Facebook via Jetpack for the first time, authorize Jetpack’s required permission to manage and auto-share posts on your Facebook pages. To do this, click on Edit access.
After setting the permissions, select Continue as [Your Name] to move forward. If you manage multiple Facebook pages, you will be prompted to select which page you’d like to connect to Jetpack Social.
Click Connect to finish the connection between Jetpack Social and your chosen Facebook page.
You will be redirected back to your WP Admin, where a confirmation notice will inform you of a successful connection: “Your Facebook account has been successfully connected.”

Connect to multiple Facebook pages

With Jetpack Social, you can seamlessly link and share posts across several Facebook pages. To connect your site to multiple Facebook pages that you manage, you can follow these steps:

From your WP Admin, navigate to Jetpack -> Social.
Under the Automatically share your posts to social networks section, click on Connect an account.
Find Facebook in the list and click the Connect more button.
Follow the prompts to log in to your Facebook account and connect your chosen page.

Make the Facebook connection available to all users

To make the Facebook connection available to all users of the blog by marking it as a shared connection, follow these steps:

From your WP Admin, navigate to Jetpack -> Social.
Find your Facebook connection under Connected accounts.
Click the ⌄ arrow next to the Facebook connection.
Click and enable Mark the connection as shared.

When enabled, the Facebook connection will be available to all administrators, editors, and authors.

Reconnect Facebook

If Facebook gets disconnected from your Jetpack Social, re-establish the connection by following the steps below:

Access your site’s WP Admin and navigate to Jetpack -> Social.
Navigate to the Facebook connection and click the Connect button.
On the next screen, either click Continue if you’re already connected to your Facebook account or connect to the account you intend to use.

Troubleshoot Jetpack Social Facebook connections

First, check that your Jetpack connection is working properly. Jetpack Social will not work otherwise.

Previously-scheduled posts not sharing after Facebook reconnection

In certain situations, when Facebook is reconnected, previously scheduled posts may not be shared as anticipated.

Status: Our developers are currently working to address this problem. We appreciate your patience while we work towards a permanent solution.

Temporary workaround: In the interim, we suggest you implement the following steps to mitigate this issue:

Switch the status of the affected scheduled to Draft.
Remove the existing Facebook connection.
Re-connect Facebook.
Change the status of the post from Draft to Scheduled.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your posts are shared on Facebook as planned.

Understanding the “Posted by Jetpack” message

When you use Jetpack Social to automatically share your blog posts to Facebook, you might notice a “Posted by Jetpack” message on your posts. This message only appears to you as the administrator of the Facebook page when you are logged in. Your visitors and followers will not see this message.

Posts do not appear on my page

When Jetpack Social publishes a post to your Facebook page, Facebook crawls your post and looks for Open Graph meta tags in the head to build the post preview with an image, title, and description. Errors in these tags can prevent your post from appearing correctly.

To troubleshoot:

Check for errors by entering one of your post URLs in the Facebook Sharing Debugger.
Fix any errors to ensure Jetpack Social works properly.
If you see duplicate Open Graph meta tags, make sure you only use one plugin to manage them.

If your theme manages Open Graph tags, you may need to edit the theme or contact the theme author for support. If no issues appear in the Sharing Debugger, try disconnecting and reconnecting Facebook, and check for plugin or theme conflicts.

My Facebook page is not available to select

Jetpack Social currently has a limit of 25 Facebook pages that it can retrieve and display during the connection process. If your Facebook account manages more than 25 pages, you may want to transfer management of some pages to an alternative Facebook account to ensure the specific pages you need are visible.

In addition to the retrieval limit, Jetpack Social has the following connection limits per site:

Each site can have up to 45 shared Facebook connections available to all users.
Each individual user can connect up to 15 unique Facebook accounts per site, for a total maximum of 60 connections per site.

If you already have fewer than 25 pages and are still having trouble, please try the following:

Completely disconnect your Facebook account from Jetpack Social.
When reconnecting, click Choose what you allow to ensure WordPress has permission to manage all pages.

Reset the Facebook connection

If you encounter a problem while trying to reconnect Jetpack and Facebook, it can be helpful to completely reset the Facebook connection. This can also resolve issues related to recent permission changes, integration problems, or frequent reauthentication prompts.

You can reset the Facebook connection by following these steps:

Log in to your Facebook account.
Click your profile picture.
Navigate to Settings and Privacy → Settings.
In the left sidebar, under Your Activity and Permissions, click Business Integrations.
Find and remove Jetpack Social from the list of integrations.
Return to your site’s WP Admin.
Reconnect Facebook via Jetpack Social.

Important:
When you reset the Facebook connection, all Facebook pages connected to any other sites through Jetpack Social on the same Facebook profile will be disconnected as well. If you have multiple sites using the same Facebook account, be prepared to reconnect each one individually.
