App Domain: is not a valid domain - facebook

any idea why get this error when I insert my site name in App Domain box ,when ntrying to setup app ? I've tried inserting other domains and I get rhe same error message.
Error
App Domain: http://wordpressblogplugins.com/ is not a valid domain.

i had the same problem. the error log is sketchy. this is the solution:
1st goto WEBSITE (below SELECT HOW YOUR APP CONNECTS...) and click
2nd in the text area, fill in your website http://www.yourdomain.info
3rd go back to APP DOMAIN (BASIC INFO) and type yourdomain.info
This absolutely works but I didn't quite understand the instructions, so I'm going to restate them for other neophytes like myself.
From the Facebook development page "Apps-YourAppName", click on Basic in the LEFT Nav.
There are 3 sections on this page: Basic Info, Cloud Services, and "Select how your app integrates with Facebook"
In the Select how your app integrates with Facebook section, select "Website"
Enter your fully qualified domain name in the Site URL dialog box. Example: http://www.mydomain.com OR http://mydomain.com (my site does not include the www so I didn't add it).
At the bottom of the page click the "Save Changes" button. You may receive a notice that it may take several minutes to blah blah blah....but you can continue with the next steps immediately.
Now, in the Basic Information section at the top of this screen, you can now add your App Domain. This should be formatted as mydomain.com. Do not add "http://" and do not add "/" at the end of the domain name.
NOTE: My site does not use the www, so I cannot confirm that it's required in Step #6. Try it both ways if you're unsure.
At the bottom of the page click the "Save Changes" button. You may receive a notice that it may take several minutes to blah blah blah....but you can continue with the next steps immediately.
At this point the error was NOT displayed as it was before.
Hope this helps!

You should not place URL scheme to the "App Domain" field (it's not a part of domain name), just the domain name like wordpressblogplugins.com

I`m a developer of Facebook login app for website. When I'm trying to save changes in my Facebook web-application settings, getting this error "Site URL has been been identified as malicious and/or abusive." I can't save anything while field "Site URL" contains my domain name. What am I supposed to do?
Go to facebook.com . Try to share the url. You will get a dialog saying the url is bad and in the button there will be a link if you don't agree and you want to report it.
simple solution is to disable facebook button, so that facebvook change their aggressive globalism political tactic of changing their ways for developers constantly forcing to change their code, like google does with google login.
Other solution is to, according to:

facebook Error App Domain: [IP Address] is not a valid domain.?

I give my production server IP address as App domain in facebook application but it's not saved. It returns error as App domain is not valid. So that I cannot use my facebook connect API.
Can we give IP address as App domain in FB application? If it's not, what is the other way to do?
No, it looks like the app domain can only be a domain and not an ip address.
For example in the app settings page, near the App Domain hover the '?' and see:
Enable auth on domains and subdomain(s)
Also, I found this page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appproperties/ it refers to the REST api and so it's not that up to date, but it clearly states there that there are two different properties: base_domain(s) and ip_list.
I suggest that you try to put a normal domain and see what happens.
All Wrong answers. Here is the true
You must click (+ add platform)
then Select Platform choose app I select website the planet icon
Enter
Site URL http://www.yoursitehere.com
Mobile Site URL http://www.yoursitehere.com
go back and enter in App Domains: yoursitehere.com
now click save
go to Status and Review
Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?
change or move to (YES)
This is what I found works.
From the Facebook development page "Apps-YourAppName", click on Basic in the LEFT Nav.
There are 3 sections on this page: Basic Info, Cloud Services, and "Select how your app integrates with Facebook"
In the Select how your app integrates with Facebook section, select "Website"

One solution to getting over the problem of using an IP address as a valid domain is to use: xip.io
xip.io is a magic domain name that provides wildcard DNS
for any IP address
Simply add .xip.io after your url and use this as the domain name. Perfect for me as I do my development on a virtual machine!
If you don't have a domain (only the IP) just leave the "App Domains" field in blank. It works! =)
This, IMHO, is Facebook's fault as the error message is really confusing and makes you think only domains are allowed.
Hope it helps someone! =)

Error App Domain when creating an app

When I am creating an app, I put the URL as specified and it comes up with the following:
Error App Domain: http://coolapp.hobbycraftstore.com/ is not a valid domain. Why isn't it valid? I have also tried domain name http//coolfbapp.com/ and this didn't work either
a domain does not contain the protocol! So just remove http:// and it will work:
domain: coolapp.hobbycraftstore.com
The original author is absolutely correct. However, even seeing other answers with this information, I was still getting errors and didn't know why.
With the help of other answers posted, I finally got it working. Here's the steps that include the complete solution that worked for me.

Facebook "Add to My Page" not there

I've made some facebook pages before, but I'm running in to a problem that I haven't had before. Usually, when someone asks me to dev a facebook page for them, it's linked to an account and all I have to do is add the developer app, make a few apps for the links on the side bar, then navigate to the apps I created and click 'add to my page'.
For some reason, this person today gave me their log-in and their account isn't really 'real' so-to-speak. I'm navigated to the page they created upon log-in and there is nothing else loaded, not even a search bar. I was able to add the developer app by navigating to Edit Info (search bar popped up). However I am unable to add any apps to this account. The 'Add to My Page' does not show up on any app pages I navigate to. Is this because the account doesn't really exist? There is a "Create Your Profile" link up near the Settings/Logout buttons.
Am I thinking about this wrong? Is there another way for me to add apps/sidebar tabs with an account like this?
I was thinking of telling the person to register the account fully since "If you create a profile for your business, your account may be disabled for violating our Terms of Use."
Let me know if any of you have any insight.
Thanks!
facebook changes as usual
try my "fix" # http://admine.eu/addapp.html
here is part of the source and actually all you need:
window.open(
"http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=" +
document.getElementById("appid").value +
"&next=" +
document.getElementById("appurl").value,
"PageTab","width=1000,height=300"
)
+document.getElementById("appid") is the id of your app
+document.getElementById("appurl") is the canvas or tab URL of your app
I run into this too. Sometimes as when a client adds me as an admin I have to like the app I made on its profile page then switch to page mode and go to edit the page>apps and it shows up in my list of apps.
If you have already added it once it may already be in that list as well but doesn't show up in the left navigation until you add it as a tab in the app settings while in Page mode.
I find that if there are more than 8 tabs in the navigation already FB won't automatically add it to the left nav.

I've put together a javascript snippet that is intended to be used as a bookmarklet. If you use the bookmarklet while on an application's page in the developers section, a new window will automatically open with the add to page-dialog. To use it, just copy the minified code from the repository below and create a new bookmark for "javascript:[the code]" (without the quotation marks).

Hopefully this will help some until Facebook cleans up their current, quite messy, solution.
Simple to use:

Facebook-connect demo - is "Callback URL" == "Connect Callback URL"?

I'm starting to feel stupid. I'm following the Facebook-Connect demo "The Run Around".
At the point when I navigate to http://www.[mysite].com/testing/register_feed_forms.php to register the one-line story, I get the following error:
Error while setting up application:
You need to configure your callback URL in the Facebook Developers App
However, when I edit my app settings in the http://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php page, I CAN'T FIND ANY BOX TO PUT THE CALLBACK URL !!
Where is it?
What is it that I'm missing? I have found many references that it should be in the "Basic" tab of my App Settings, but I can't find it! Is it the Connect Callback URL?
To be more specific, this is the content I see in 'Basic':
Essential Information
Application Name
Application ID
API Key
Secret
Basic Information
Description
Icon
Logo
Language
Developers
Contact Information
Developer Contact Email
User Support Email
User-Facing URLs
Help URL
Privacy URL
Terms of Service URL
Thank you... Either docs are obsolete or I'm becoming slow...
A "Connect URL" and a "Callback URL" are two different things, though they often contain the same url value. Does that make sense?
And yes, the documentation is BEYOND horrible and completely unacceptable. What's worse is that because it is so outdated, it often suggests things that will BREAK an already working app.
Just horrible...
Here's how to set your connect url.
Login as you to facebook.
Go to facebook.com/developers
You'll see somthing along the right side that says "my applications". Click on your app.
Then click "edit settings."
You'll be taken to a new inteface that has tabs running vertically along left side. Click the tab that says (surprise) "Connect"
The connect url text input box will be the very first at the top.
If the 'callback url' you're talking about is the same as the 'Canvas Callback URL' that I'm thinking about, which is the only callback url that I know about, then it's the second text field in the 'Canvas' tab of the editor. This is mine:
Canvas Callback URL: http://localhost/ Facebook pulls the content for your application's canvas pages from this URL.
