I have submitted a request for the Instant Articles, and it's been approved. Now we have another problem, on Production Articles list (Facebook settings), I cannot see all the articles from our website, but most of them are there. Also, some newly added articles appeared there, and after some time they were gone somehow. My production rss feed contains all the articles from the website.
My website is running on Drupal.
Maybe the problem is because there are really too many articles on the website, and so not all of them can be displayed there? I really have no idea.
Did anyone have similar problem?

I have search all over internet and asked the instant article team too in instant article facebook page,
but I can't find the answer the way too put email-opt in instant.
I have put <form>, <button≫, <input> tag on instant article editor, it successfully saved but it's not shown in page manager apps.
I have asked to place that write article about facebook instant article, but no answer too.
I have searched at facebook instant article docs dev, but couldn't find it too.
Is there place I'm missing?
Does it need particular step like we must have facebook leads, or audience network or something first?
I would appreciate your help
Thanks
I asked this on the FB Dev forum and they said it's still being rolled out. Only select publishers have this option for the time being.

I post links on my site's FB page (1 or 2 per day). All links points back to my web site.
Often, especially on mobile and tablets, this warning pops up when people are clicking those links on my page:
Something Went Wrong
Sorry, there was a problem with this link: http://www.delbart.no/sam-den-bekymrede-katten/.
You can now continue to this website, or go back to the page you were on before. Remember, only follow links from sources you trust.
The link above is just one of many ...
I've tested many of the links in debugger without finding any issues.
Do you know why Facebook are showing those warning messages?
What can I do to avoid them?
All the best :)
I'm working on some new features for a CMS, and I'm having trouble finding the information about how Facebook interacts with other websites. If turn key solutions exist for this I'd love to hear about them, but I'm basically just looking for pointers to documentation of how this stuff works behind the scenes. Including php, wordpress, and drupal since those are the base technologies I'm working with, but other platform solutions are welcome.
When you paste a URL into Facebook's "What's on your Mind" box, Facebook will automatically fetch a short page description, as well as a list of possible thumbnails. If there's a video it will often auto-generate the needed HTML to embed the video. I've also seen features where you link to a business's main website, but then are prompted to "like" their Facebook page.
How can I, as an independent website owner, have my pages reacts to Facebook in this way. For example, on the following page (link to a personal website) I have four images. However, if I drop that URL into a Facebook status update, there are no thumbnails for those images.
Also, while I've inferred several features of the notification box, I'm curious if there's other's I'm not aware of.
Again, while turnkey solutions and existing plugins are of interest, what I'm really after is what sort of meta data I need to embed in my own page, or what special responses I need to make to Facebook requests. In other words, how do I program a website to response correctly to Facebook.
Basically you convey that information to user in terms of open graph meta tags. From that Facebook picks up what type of site it is. Is it about a book or some music or some commerical brand or may be has a FB page linked to it? Check this documentation for general idea about graph objects - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/using-objects/
Coming to specifically the image used as thumbnail, it is specified with og:image meta tag. Important thing to note about it is that FB caches that for ~24hours so don't sweat it if it doesn't show up. You can use this tool to check for your values which fetches it in realtime - https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Also Facebook happens to have quite a lot of bugs around this, so it might take really long before it start showing up. If its picked up debug tool, then you are fine at code level. Not much that you can do about it.
I happen to know about this as I authored a tiny WordPress plugin for that and boy I know the support requests that used to come in. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-like-thumbnail/
Now for 3rd part of your question, even this is specified through meta tags only, like you have primary video content on your website, and you would like it to embed on Facebook when someone puts a link in the status box, so for that this link has code samples http://garethhooper.com/articles/social-media/45-integration/166-how-to-embed-your-own-videos-on-facebook-using-the-facebook-like-and-share-buttons.html
Hope that sets you on track giving you a head start :)
I would like to add new content via some API. I found this site where they say that there is a Imported Sites function which allows to enter a RSS feed and the content will be posted automatically. Is this true? Or better does that work today too?
If yes please point me where I have to set that. Facebook has changed in such a way that their way doesn't work today. Im looping thrue the menus since about a hour without any success.
If this does not work please show me a other way. Thanks!
Since September, this feature has been removed.
We want you to connect with your fans in the most effective ways possible. That's why as of September 30th you'll no longer be able to automatically import posts from your website to your Page notes. The best way to get people to interact with your content is to give them insight into the links you share on your Wall by adding personal comments and responding to feedback from fans.
Source: Why can I no longer import blog posts from my website to my Page's notes?
I just want to get some opinions before I tackle this head on. So far, I've set up a wordpress site and managed to get all post made on this site, appear on facebook on notes. However, all the plugins that do the following functionality that I require, have either been discontinued, or stopped working due to facebook changing their layout.
This is what i need:
The site can be either Drupal or Wordpress (but I'm willing to sacrifice that if there is some other app that I don't know of that can do the points to follow)
All posts made on my site, must be able to appear on Facebook as NOTES (both Drupal, Wordpress and pretty much anything with RSS feed capability can do this)
Any comments made on my site, must go to Facebook and appear there too. (this is probably NOT going to be possible, unless people end up logging in with their facebook details, which is not what I want)
Any comments made on Facebook MUST appear on my site
Point 4 is more important than point 3. I can live without point 3, but I CANT live without point 4. There are quite a few wordpress plugins that claim that they can do this, but I assure you, they don't work! They worked on the principle of scanning the page for content, and due to layout changes, it won't find the right values anymore.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Have you had a look at Facebook for Drupal and Facebook Connect. They seem promising.
