• A friend and I have made a blog where we both are admins. We want to link our individual categories to our social networks, but there is a problem:
    When my friend publishes a post it also goes to my social networks, so I”m sharing it, but I don’t want to share his posts.
    How do we fix this so when I publish a post, my social network gets the post, but not my friend’s social networks?
    We’ve tried the publisher feature inside Jetpack for WordPress on our own domain at coolfortheblind.dk/blog
    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    I would suggest that you reset both of your Publicize connections, and when you do so make sure you do not check the “Shared connection” option appearing in the Publicize modal as it appears at the bottom of this screenshot

    I hope this helps.

    I’m sorry, I should have guessed from your domain name.

    I tried to create a new connection while using Mac OS’s VoiceOver utility, and that made me realize that our current system is not really accessible.

    Once you hit the connect button to create a new connection, you’re redirected to Twitter to authorize the WordPress.com application to publish to your account on your behalf. Once you’ve authorized that app, you’re redirected back to your dashboard and the Sharing Settings screen. A pop up appears on that screen, with a checkbox named “Make this connection available to all users of this blog?”. You’ll need to make sure that box is unchecked, and then save your changes.
    The trick here is that the pop up appears at the end of the HTML content on the page, so it is not really obvious when you use a screen reader.

    I created an issue in our bug tracker about this, and we’ll see if we can improve that system in a future Jetpack release:

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Hi again!
    Wow, thank you so much. It is so awesome that you tried testing it with Voiceover!
    Let me try to explain what we exactly want the publisher module to do that failed for us earlier:

    * We want to connect our private accounts on Twitter and Facebook, so we can get our own posts published. Here we had an issue earlier where I was sharing my friend’s post, so somebody on Facebook thought I’d written the post instead of him. We’ve made two categories so visitors can browse by our private posts. For instance i have the category: Thomas’ posts.
    * We have a shared twitter-account where we want to share all posts.
    * We are thinking of making a 3rd category that is ment to be a news-category so we want to get any posts in this category shared by all accounts.

    Can the module handle this or do you suggest that we find another way to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards
    Thomas

    Hi!

    Today I tried to publish a post from an acount on our blog, that did not have access to my Facebook that I a few days ago reconnected, and I didn’t share the account with any other account on the blog when I reconnected my personal Facebook on my account on the blog.
    When I go to my Facebook, I can see that the post is already published via my profile, but for the account I was using was only a twitter account connected.
    What’s going on, and how can I completely reset the publish module for Jetpack so I can start from scratch?

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards
    Thomas

    Jetpack’s Publicize module can indeed handle publishing from multiple Facebook and Twitter accounts, and when creating each Publicize connection you can choose to either keep that connection for your account only, or share this connection with all the other authors on your site, and thus offer them the option to push the articles they publish to your connected Social Media accounts as well.

    If you’d like to start from scratch and make sure each connection is properly shared or kept away from other authors, you’ll need to reset each connection, by following the instructions here:

    I hope this helps.

    Happy New Year! ??
