Give it a couple of weeks and see how it goes.<br /><br />Otherwise the likelihood is you've shared something somebody else has objected to (and that could have been the person seeing not the person sharing) and you're on suspension.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-85010928012246680822017-02-01T01:37:46.435+00:002017-02-01T01:37:46.435+00:00Any idea why the Share button is missing from pers...Any idea why the Share button is missing from personal pages? Most of everything I post cannot be shared by my friends. I see the option on my posts, but my friends don't have an option as the Share button is missing. They aren't political posts. No response from FB help . Any advice?

EU have signed a censorship agreement with Facebook EU and UK, Youtube and Microsoft. This includes any criticism of the EU, its offices or personnel which is now a criminal offence. Does not apply to Facebook NZ so far. Posts are being deleted and Share button removed.

When you share something from your Page, it is a form of engagement. It tells the person/cbusiness that share it in the first place you like it and you feel its worth sharing with the people that follow your page. In return the hope is they will take more note of the things you post and they will return the favour and share with their follows - engagement, mutual benefit and mutual building of communities/followers!<br /><br />Cutting and pasting URL's and all the other work arounds looses the fundamental objective of building a following an helping others in your world do the same. What you end up doing is sending your followers elsewhere and getting little in return. More is the problem that many of us pay to expose our Pages to a broader context, if these can't be shared by other Pages in a similar situation it diminishes the value of Boosting, less thatn the low value it already has.<br /><br />The troubling thing with Facebook now is they have totally avoided the discussion on this to date. No word, no fixes, no reasons (if there are any) to a change. From the posts I've seen from supposed Facebook customer support people, I have not been able to find one that actually exists anywhere else but in Facebook Support - none seem to even have their own Facebook pages. I would have thought most of these people should be proud enough to have Facebook on their LinkedIn profile and certainly on their own Facebook profile. But I digress.<br />The Wise Traveller (Facebook page)http://www.thewisetraveller.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-88293337420993764222016-01-19T00:23:34.937+00:002016-01-19T00:23:34.937+00:00THANK YOU, THANK YOU to "Making a Mark" ...THANK YOU, THANK YOU to "Making a Mark" and the blog post re 'Facebook Page Share Button Disappeared.' My business page Share Button/Feature disappeared a month ago and I've been trying to find a work-around similar to the excellent steps outlined in your blog, but your instructions are awesome/very clear. Losing this Share feature really impacts negatively as discussed in the blag. I sent 3 "HELP" messages to Facebook asking what happened; I've rec'd 3 Facebook Help Responses - all FB responses were auto-responses merely saying "thanks for your input, we use input like this to make things better, you may/may not hear back from us further." And FB clearly marked my inquiry "CLOSED." No help here!!<br />Anyway, so glad to have found this very helpful blog! Thank you!

It seems that hardly any of my page posts get seen buy more than a handful of people and the only way around this suddenly, is if I pay to 'boost' my post! I am not about to do that!! So I tend to duplicate my post to both my page and my personal Timeline. A lot of my Artist friends are feeling the same and they have all been advising me to use Instagram, which now I do. It is much better I think. Straight forward! And I simply share my Instagram posts to Facebook now. I do think Facebook have got a little above themselves on the scale of 'importance' and as a result I think they will lose many businesses to other platforms. It's a shame they have changed so much. I have just checked my page by the way and my Share button is still there at the moment...<br />Sandra Busbyhttp://www.sketch-mad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-53865701361043521032016-01-17T23:19:25.970+00:002016-01-17T23:19:25.970+00:00That's because you're looking it from your...That's because you're looking it from your account - and if you view PAGES from an account you do see share buttons<br /><br />It's if you look at a PAGE while in your own PAGE that the share buttons disappearMaking A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-53628225861702627252016-01-16T19:12:56.875+00:002016-01-16T19:12:56.875+00:00Just looked at the pages I visit and all of them s...Just looked at the pages I visit and all of them still seem to have a 'share' button. Most of them seem to be 'business'pages - Wally Workman Galleries, Mr Stitch, royal academy of art, just a few of the pages I visit on a regular basis. Looking at your Making a Mark page just now, it appears to have a share button on the posts. jacqui boyd aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088700896864263856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-54731389910428890692016-01-16T09:37:38.873+00:002016-01-16T09:37:38.873+00:00David - that's the conventional method for sha...David - that's the conventional method for sharing any article or blog post or website or Facebook.

I had no idea since I rarely go there any more. I love instagram instead for sharing my work. I like the way anyone can find you so easily on there. <br /><br />The heck with Facebook. Good for chatting with friends and relatives but not much else.Roberta Warshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869094383053871169noreply@blogger.com
