Hi, have you connected your twitter account for your website. If you have not, visit Dashboard -> Tools -> Marketing -> Connections where you will be able to connect various social media websites.
After that, your posts will be shared to the respective social media websites whenever you publish your post.

Hi there,
To clarify, you are not able to set up your Twitter connection on this page? https://wordpress.com/marketing/connections/amazingchinesecalligraphy.wordpress.com
It is not possible to automatically share posts to social media unless the account is connected on that page.
When you try to connect you see an error message or some other odd behavior? Can you describe what is happening and share the text of the error message you see?
Also what is the URL of your Twitter page so we can take a closer look, thanks!

Jerry,
I can’t set up the Twitter connection on the page. I have screenshot, but it seems that I can’t attach it here. What happened is that after I clicked “connect”, I got “Sharing posts to your Twitter feed” on the left, and “Disconnect” on the right. The “Sharing ……..” has been pending there forever.
No any message.
My Twitter link: https://twitter.com/l2shang
I shared the post by “copy the link”, and paste on Twitter, not by clicking “Twitter” share botton on WordPress, which is not working.

Hi again,
What happened is that after I clicked “connect”, I got “Sharing posts to your Twitter feed” on the left, and “Disconnect” on the right. The “Sharing ……..” has been pending there forever.
I’m not sure I understand, I don’t see a Twitter connection of any kind here: https://wordpress.com/marketing/connections/amazingchinesecalligraphy.wordpress.com
Did you disconnect? If so can you reconnect so we can take a closer look at the connection? Connecting your account here will set up automatic sharing, so you don’t have to do it manually. Once you publish the post it is shared to your connected social media accounts at the same time.
I have screenshot, but it seems that I can’t attach it here.
To share a screenshot with us, you can upload it to the Media Library on your site, and then copy the image URL. You can see a video of how to do this here: https://d.pr/v/Fcnerp
Once you have the image URL just paste it into your reply and we will be able to see your screenshot, thanks!

Your link shows what happened. Same as I see, I put the screenshot here, even though not necessary but may help clarify the situation.
Exactly the same as your link.
I have not disconnected, more than 30 hours. I could let “Sharing …….” forever, but I don’t think it would connect to Twitter.

Hi there,
That screen shot shows your site is now connected to Twitter, and our logs show you created that connection around 13 hours ago, after your previous reply in this forum.
When you publish your next post, make sure you also select the option to share to Twitter in the editor itself.
Let us know if that post doesn’t get shared.
(Just to be clear, the automated sharing only works the very first time you publish a brand new post. It won’t share if you re-publish a previously-published post. So you’ll have to wait until your next new post before you’ll be able to test this.)

Sorry, I posted the screenshot in wrong site where is no problem to share posts on Twitter. The problem is in the following site
https://wordpress.com/posts/amazingchinesecalligraphy.wordpress.com
which is one of the posts in that site.

The site at https://amazingchinesecalligraphy.wordpress.com/ shows an active Twitter connection that was added 14 hours ago. But you haven’t published any new posts on that site since adding the connection.
Once you publish the next post on that site, if it doesn’t auto-share to Twitter, don’t make any changes to your site’s Publicize settings, and let us know here so we can check what happened with that post.

I published a test post, it was automatically posted on Twitter. Thanks.
However there are two problems:
1, how about those posts published previously? They are still not be able to be published to Twitter.
2, the link shows on Twitter is the site image for all posts, not the image from the individual post, which couldn’t attract people to click new posts because they think the new posts are same post they already clicked before. -
Hi there,
1, how about those posts published previously? They are still not be able to be published to Twitter.
At this point, the best bet is to post the links to those sites manually since they didn’t trigger when you published them the first time.
2, the link shows on Twitter is the site image for all posts, not the image from the individual post, which couldn’t attract people to click new posts because they think the new posts are same post they already clicked before.
If you are wanting the image from the individual post to show as opposed to a random post from the site, you will need to add a featured image to that particular post. Twitter will pick up and use the featured image when published. For more information on featured images, please visit:
Thanks!
