Posts Not Showing Up on Facebook News Feed? Here’s The Fix!

PLEASE READ – THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL REASONS. 

Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? If you’re a regular Facebook user you’ve probably noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?

Don’t worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend/fan list can’t see anything you post and here’s why:

The “New Facebook” has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you’ve recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa – you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!

Here’s the fix:
At the top of your Home page click Most Recent, then click the down arrow next to Most Recent and click Edit Options.

 

A box will pop up and you will have a choice to Show posts from: All of your friends and pages or Friends and pages you interact with most. If you want to receive all posts yet you do not normally interact with the page (commenting on posts or Liking posts), you will need to choose the first option. If you choose the 2nd option your Newsfeed will only show posts from pages you interact (comment and Like posts) with most.
