We run a website with a blog and we're using a wordpress plug-in that pushes the blog posts to facebook via an app. It is working fine for regular users but we want it to push the posts to the organisation's community page.
The annoying thing is, I deleted an existing community page and created a new page via the "Create New Facebook Page" button in the "App Page:" setting of the "App Details" area for my app.
The new page was created exactly as requested, and it still won't allow me to link it to the app.
How can I get this working?
The Wordpress plug-in is called "Add Link To Facebook" in case anyone is wondering.
Please ensure you are using the pro version and confirm this. It seems this functionality is only provided in pro.
Wordpress requires a separate action to authorize pages. So using an app for example you'll first authorize your account to be accessed and then another popup will appear asking you to select one of many pages in your account. Is anything like this happening?

I am trying to enable deep linking from custom open graph stories. I have gone through the instructions listed
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/app-links
Deep linking works fine when I click from the Facebook timeline to the actual story post page and then click the object button. If I click the object button on the timeline itself, the url is NOT handled and instead is open directly in the Facebook webview.
This may be because I don't have a web platform added on my App Dashboard.
Facebook documentation reads
Deep linking in Open Graph stories If you're deep linking from an Open
Graph story published from your app, you will need to go through one
more step.
...
If you HAVEN'T already added a website for this app, in the App
Dashboard, inside your app's settings, click on ''Add platform'', and
select ''Website''. Then in any of the fields (either ''Site URL'' or
''Mobile site URL''), fill in your subdomain. It doesn't matter if you
don't have a website that you're integrating with Facebook, this will
register this subdomain for use with your native app.
However, when I try to add a the url in app settings (the screenshots match those in the documentation), my open graph submission is rejected by Facebook with the note:
Your app does not qualify for the submitted platform. In the app
settings tab, please remove platforms without Facebook integration.
Canvas or page tab apps cannot redirect users, and websites must
properly integrate Facebook login.
Anybody been through this before and can lend some guidance? I am very much confused by the documentation.
The deep-linking started working on its own about a week later without any changes on my part.
I am trying to get Facebook features (like button, and login capabilities) on my website but I am having a tough time figuring out how to do it. I have a Facebook page for my website too, I do not have an app, but from what I've seen I'm supposed to create this App profile through Facebook in order to access all of these features. I am simply confused. I have a website, I have a Facebook page for that website, now I want to link the two. Again, I do not have an app for the site, yet, as it is in its early development stages. Please help me figure out what I must do to link my website to Facebook capabilities
Just "create an application" for the website. I think what you are most confused about is actually building an app.
"Create an application" provides a reference for your application to reside. All Facebook plugins currently must be processed through the JS SDK which needs an application (reference) to make requests. You will see the benefits of doing this when using facebook.com/insights
Also your Facebook fan page has nothing to do with your website, think of it separately, it will cause less confusion. There is no way to link them.
Summary: Just click the "Create app" button, set the domain to your website domain and supply the application id to the JS SDK.
Have you checked out their site? https://developers.facebook.com/
All you need to do after registering with Facebook as a developer, you should have a control panel. After that you should have a dev key, so when you make an API call to Facebook that you can authentic yourself as a registered developer. You do need to enter the javascript file in the head section so that when you call the Facebook API your Javascript code knows to reference the calls.
I've created a FB page for a client. In the process I also created a FB application, to get an App id that I could add to the FB meta tags of the website of my client.
Now I'd like to create a "fan get" iframe for this FB page.
I've found this great tutorial that explains it all.
My problems are:
How can I link the app with the page?
I'm trying to create a new tab in my page, where the app will be loaded, and eventually this tab will be displayed by default when a user didn't click the "like" yet.
But I cannot find anywhere in the page settings something to add a new tab.
I've seen old tutorials where it was part of the settings but I can't find it anymore.
Between the deprecated methods and the new upcoming ones, I'm lost.
I'm making some tests here and all the apps that I had created today didn't show on the App Profile Page (example http://apps.facebook.com/lojaeotica/). Is there some update or policy change for today? I didn't see anything in Developers Blog.
Have a look at the blog posted today - http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/611/
Title of the topic is "Removing App Profile Pages", this would explain you on how to address your need.
Here is what it says - "New apps will not automatically get an App Profile Page. Instead, new apps can choose to create a Facebook Page from the Dev App. Simply visit the Contact Info section in the Advanced tab of the Dev App and click on the “Create Facebook Page” button to create a new Facebook Page."
There's an open bug report about this:https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/325983410747148
As stated by Facebook, new apps won't get their own app page automatically. You can either create it in the apps 'advanced settings' or if you just need the link to integrate it into your facebook page, modify and use this one here:
www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL"
It is not a bug, but a poorly implemented new feature. If you only need the profile page to add it as a tab you can use this: http://www.addtab.info/
when I try to create the "like" app for my website,it says that it cannot find the page.
I even copied and pasted my name to it. I want to be able to post from it and it will show up on my website. http:/facebook.com/thevisalusbody is what I am trying to get an app for
You can't create like buttons for user pages. You would have to convert your user profile to a fan page using Facebook's tool.
