I'm using a plugin (xyzscripts) in wordpress to automatically make a facebook post when I add a blog item to the website.
I need to create a Facebook App to be able to authorise the plugin to be able to this (to login to my facebook admin account and select the page it's to be posted onto from within wordpress)
The instructions have been fine so far and I'm at the stage of submitting the app for review by facebook but the application form needs to be classed as 'complete' before it can be submitted and there are 2 tickboxes which are not ticked and I'm not sure how to get them to tick?! It's not a tickbox that I can select, it seems facebook validates whether the criteria is complete based on the form, so although I think it's complete facebook doesn't and I'm not sure what else to add to make those tickboxes tick... in order to be able select 'submit for review'.
There's a screenshot linked to below showing what I'm referring to, of the tickboxes which aren't ticked.
Has anyone had this problem? Can the form see whats in the video and it already thinks it's not good enough? I have included the words 'pages_manage_posts' and 'pages_read_engagement' in the text describing why the app needs these permissions as I thought that might be a validating factor but nope, still no tick.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

You need to add the actual permissions to your submission, not just “mention” them.
Go to this section in your app dashboard, and click the “request” button next to those two permissions:

I'm trying to build a custom tab for a Facebook Page that will simply have an iframe. It seems like I have to put this through Facebooks review process, but I'm not sure what permissions I should enter it for.
I've been using this guide (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/tabs/) to get the tab up and running. I have the info filled out for the content I want to pull in, I set the App live, but when I try and view the app, I get the message "Misconfigured App Sorry, MY_APP hasn't been approved for display in App Center."
Some more research makes it seem like it might have to be approved by Facebook to set live, but I'm not seeing anything in the Permissions and Features requests that correspond with what my app does (the actual content being pulled in is a simple text field that takes a zip code as an entry).
I am trying to create a Facebook store for my Facebook page with the checkout leading to my website and not Facebook. When setting up the store I am not given an option to do it. I have seen it in some tutorials showing this choosing checkout option. Is there a way to get to the checkout option?
Found this video by Mexbs that explains how to overcome the issue. In short, here are the steps:
Change the location of your Facebook page to Germany (or some other country that Facebook didn't limit yet)
Add the Shop tab and proceed with the Shop setup. "Checkout on another website" and "Message to buy" should be available now.
Add one product to your shop (so Facebook won't delete your shop tab once you change the page location back to the original).
Change the page location back to your original location.
Apparently this feature was available before FB had its own payment method. Even though you can manage your catalog and add a product url, the checkout button only goes through the FB interface. I am going to ask FB tech support if there is currently a way around this.
I haven't found this yet either and would be stoked if someone can give a clear answer. I've found that if you add products from the Catalog section, you can add a website link for each product which is described by FB as, "a link to the website page where people can view more details and buy this product."
However, my store page is all sorts of mangled at the moment and I'm (sloowwwwlllyyyy) working with FB to get it all sorted out so I can't tell if it's actually working as I'm hoping it does.
To anyone who stumbles on this thread and needs help finding the answer to this problem...
When you click the shop tab to start the setup process DO NOT choose the United States as your location. Choose your location as literally any other location, I did Canada. When you do, it wont try to force you to use Facebook's automatic checkout. It will immediately pop up with the option to buy through messages or direct them to your website. This does not change the location of your actual page either, just choose another country when it asks you right at the shop set up process.
Because of the kind of product I sell I cant accept returns. I needed the ability to send them to my store

Your logo and site branding conflicts with Section 5.6 of the Facebook
Terms and Section I.8 of the Platform Policy
(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/policy/policy_checklist/english/
). Please resubmit with a different graphic that reflects your own
branding and the ux of your site. Please make changes below and
resubmit for review.
The instructions you got seem pretty clear.
We don’t even know your site.
So how exactly do you think we can help you here …?
you have to submit Action to Facebook to be approved . goto facebook.com/developers select App then OpenGraph - Action click Submit ...
I tried to create my first app.
I went to https://developers.facebook.com/ and clicked on 'applications'.
Then facebook redirected me to my facebook page. There was NO button to '+add an application' and no form to ask me if I needed 'something' to create the application.
I added a valid credit card because it's mandatory to get a 'developer' status.
How I can add an application to facebook. Is there a way to ask their tech department?
(edited)->
Also if I click on https://developers.facebook.com/apps it redirects me to my facebook page WITHOUT a window to 'Request for permision'

Here you will have a button to add New App, a popup should appear to write the New App's name. I can see in your post you don't get this popup, but it is where you need to go. So try using this link on your Personal Account not your pages account, just like DMCS is saying.
Here you should get a couple of more links, and there's a how to link that might help.

Here you can find a fast track to build a facebook app. Not sure if it's what you want, but it might help in some parts of the process.
I'm currently creating a very basic Facebook application and I've run into a bit of a roadblock, so any help would be appreciated.
My application is as follows: I want to have the application pull records from my database that the user has added to my site off of Facebook and display them in a tab on one of their fan pages. Everything the user could add or edit will be done on my site (not on/through Facebook) so all I need to do is have my application check which page is requesting and display their records. I imagine the install will go something like this: user signs up on my site, user adds app to their page, user links their account and fan page (thinking of the best way to do this), user adds records.
The problem I'm running into is there's barely any information on the new Facebook PHP-SDK (does not use the require_login() method) and I'm not really sure how to start. Again, the only functionality I need on the Facebook end is for them to be able to add my application to their fan page and be able to distinguish between which page is requesting my app.
Does anyone have any resources for creating a basic application with the new SDK? Facebook's dev section is absolutely no help for beginners and I'm pulling my hair out despite a pretty solid grounding in backend development.
Thanks!
tab apps have some limitations comparing to regular fb apps. You can read about those here.
How to make a tab - register a facebook app, fill out "Tab Name" and "Tab URL" fields in the profiles settings (you might need to fill out "canvas" settings first).
Now all tabs will be loaded from "Tab URL" on your server. How to find out who is tab owner - check for fb_sig_profile_user request parameter in your tab page handler, which contains owner's user id.
This should get you started.
