Q&A: How can someone use my Facebook account to post things in my name without ever logging into my account?

Posted on April 15, 2020

Question from Kim:  Hi Rick. I’m a regular reader of your blog and I love your tips!

I’m having a problem with Facebook and I really need your help.

Someone is posting things from my Facebook account and making it look like it’s me posting it.

These posts are usually ads for things like sunglasses and other “junk”.

They post exactly three posts every day, always at the same exact times (7:30am, 1pm and 6pm).

I read your post that explains how to check to see if anyone is logged into your Facebook account and I’ve checked several times to see if I can catch them logged into my account, but no one is ever logged in even during the times that the posts are being published.

This is really confusing me. How can someone post something in my name from my Facebook account without even being logged into it?

I really need to get this stopped because I’m losing friends over it. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

How to permanently lock your Facebook newsfeed on ‘Most Recent’ on your laptop or desktop computer

Posted on December 8, 2019

As you probably know, Facebook gives us two ways to view posts in our Newsfeeds:

Selecting “Top Stories” will place the posts that have received the most user engagement at the top of the Newsfeed.

And as you know, selecting “Most Recent” will display the Newsfeed posts in order of newest to oldest.

You probably also know that Facebook changed the location of the setting that toggles between “Top Stories” and “Most Recent” a while back. [Read more…]

Q&A: Why is Firefox still finding insecure content on my SSL encrypted WordPress blog?

Posted on May 2, 2019

Question from Patty J.: I recently found out about the free certificates from Let’s Encrypt. I asked my web host to install it for me so I can make my WordPress blog secure.

I installed the Really Simple SSL plugin and that took care of the redirects from http to https as well as most of the mixed content issues.

But Firefox is still blocking parts of my pages that it claims are still trying to load from insecure sources.

I’ve looked my pages over and I can’t find anything that appears to be loading from an insecure location. Everything on the page appears to be loading from URLs starting with https instead of http.

When I load the pages in Chrome it shows the green padlock with no warnings. It’s only Firefox that’s not cooperating.

I’m pulling my hair out here. How can I find out what Firefox is blocking for being insecure so I can fix it?
