Hi Annette – Yes, Facebook has changed the newstream at least once since I wrote this article. Are you able to unhide items that were previously hidden?

It doesn’t give me the option to choose news feed or live news. All I get is sort recent stories or highlighted stories. When I hide something it only gives the option to undo it. It doesn’t give me the box of options.

Hi Julia – When I test this I am unable to unhide applications. Is it possible that you blocked it?

Ahhh, I have no idea how to get Cafe World back in my newsfeed! When I do what you suggest all that pops up are friends and only so I can hide them. There is no way to unhide an application! Going crazy here!

Hi April – It’s really annoying that it won’t work with Most Recent and with Top News – I’m glad you found the solution.

I finally found it. If you have your news feed set to “most recent”,it won’t work. You must change it over to “top news” at the top of your home page, just above your newsfeed.

Then go down to the bottom and select “edit options”, then click on the Tab that says “Applications”

If you blocked the application, go to “applications” on the left. Then go to “see all your applications” if you need to and then see “to control how your friends see your activity click here” the to “edit blocked applications”. This does not work if you hit “hide” rather than “block” application however and I am still working on how to retrieve those. The tabs no longer appear in edit options.

Hi Kathy – I’ve never played Farmville so I don’t know if you can get your farm back after removing the application. You should be able to add the application back by going to the Farmville main page and clicking on the Add Application link.
