Why won't my Fitbit sync with MFP?

I have been using Fitbit and MFP together for over a year with no real problems. In the last few weeks my food details that I input into MFP is getting sent to Fitbit, but my steps from Fitbit is not syncing to MFP. Every time I want this to happen I need to unlink the 2 accounts and then re-link. If I do this in the morning it only does that days exercise and doesn't send any step calories burned from the day before. Why do I need to keep un-linking the 2 accounts every time I want to get my step calories sent to MFP?

    The same has happened to me. I have just disconnected the two accounts now as it was getting so frustrating!

    I found advice in a different thread to go and disconnect then reconnect the accounts on the Fitbit site (rather than MFP, which is what I had been doing), so I tried it yesterday morning and it's been working fine for me since then. Hooray!
