Over the past week or so, I’ve been receiving several messages from Tip Junkie readers complaining that you are no longer seeing Tip Junkie status updates on their Facebook wall. {{scratching head}} What!?! That completely perplexed me, so I looked at my own wall and noticed that, you were right!
On my Facebook wall, I was only seeing one status update from Tip Junkie about every 24 – 36 hours or so. Which means that we’re all missing out on some seriously amazing tutorials and gorgeous eye candy. I also noticed that I wasn’t seeing updates from several of my friends and family as well.
You know I love to solve a problem! Therefore, I did some digging and according to Mark Hull, recent Facebook changes mean that you are not seeing everything that you should be seeing!
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.
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!
Um, this is really uncool because I’ve been missing things in my friends and families lives. But no worries, there is a quick fix! It’s only 2 steps.
1. Log into Facebook, click on “home” on your top navigation. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Edit Option. {screen shot above}
2. Click on “Show Posts From” and change the setting to “All Of Your Friends and Pages”. {screen shot above}
Yep, that’s it! You will no longer miss out on those you’ve grown to love and adore via your Facebook Wall. {{giggle}}
Don’t worry, you can still hide Uncle Ray who talks about what he’s eating three times a day. That functionality hasn’t changed at all.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this, I’m here to help! Also, if you’d rather get a ONCE a day email on what’s the latest and greatest on all the Tip Junkie sites {there are 6 of them you know}, you can click here to subscribe. You’ll be blown away at the gorgeous things women are making!
I’d love hear from you, simply leave the link to it in the comments or upload a photo to the Tip Junkie Facebook page. Tip Junkie’s ROCK! {{knuckle bumps}}

I am having the same problem as others and am not seeing a “show posts from” option. I just see Hide posts from….any help out there for this?
Only had the Hide From option. How am I still getting Facebook posts from Tip Junkie like the one you sent about how to fix this Facebook problem? Thx!
Me too! Only hide posts is shown…
yes that is what I get also
I’m not even able to get the Edit Options link! As soon as I scroll to the bottom of the page, it quickly changes from that and starts loading more stories… All these changes are frustrating! Wish they would give us the option to keep things the way they were or at least TELL US they made all these changes! I understand they now have more competition and are trying to keep things exciting and new, but I think they are making more people mad than keeping them interested!
Thank you for posting this and letting us know!! 🙂
