I am admin. of 4 pages, when I go to develop an app, it will only show 2 of those pages as options ? The one I need doesn't show. They are all the same type of page. How do I get the needed page to show?
The pages are not supposed to appear on the developer menu so I'm wondering where exactly don't these 2 pages show up?
Do you mean they don't show up when you want to add an app to them, as a tab?
They don't show up on your Insights menu, to see their stats?
Please, elaborate your question

I have both a Facebook page and a Facebook app and want to use my existing page as the page for the app. All answers I've found says that the page needs to be changed to "App Page" which is found under "Brands & Products". The problem is that those options aren't available anymore.
Can someone say how to use an existing page as an app page, or confirm that this is no longer possible?
I just found out the answer myself, so I'll answer it.
First go to your PAGE and choose Edit Page Info in the three dot menu.
Under Category, add the tag "App Page". It's important to REMOVE ANY OTHER TAGS!

Then go to your APP at Facebook for Developers and go to Settings - Advanced. Under App Page you'll see a list of all available pages you can choose.

I have looked at existing questions but found nothing that answers my questions.
I have an app on facebook (its actually a webpage added as an app). I have added Page Tab as a platform. I also have a page for the app.
Now, I am trying to add this app to another page, as a tab.
I am not finding any way to do this right now. When trying to manage tabs, I can add apps. But I only see "notes" as an option. Any idea how to do that ?
Thanks.
The docs tell you how to add an App to a Page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/tabs#adding
For example, open this in your browser with the appropriate parameters:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL
...you will see a list of all Pages you manage and you can add the App to those.
How woobox and ShortStacks are managing multiple tabs on our single page ?
I mean, by using one facebook app we can have only one page tab. while ShortStack is able to install multiple tabs on same page. So, can anyone explain me, how they are doing ??
by using one facebook app we can have only one page tab
Correct. And with multiple facebook apps , you can have multiple tabs - under the SAME page.
See, dont get confused, you can give the same page url same for all of your apps.
you all may know, there are some FB apps for creating tabs or links on the left menu of a FB fanpage. tabpress is such an app.
you can add multiple tabs with different content, for example iframe, youtube video, contact forms, ...
how this apps are done? do I need an own app for each type of tab?
which FB api functions add the tabs to left side?
does anybody have some input? I want to create an app like tabpress.
Please read: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ for how to develop page tabs. For a tab to have a different name, it will also need to be a different app. So in your case, you will have multiple apps.
William, use this FB URL http://www.facebook.com/add.php?api_key=ENTER-YOUR-APP-ID-HERE&pages where you replace ENTER-YOUR-APP-ID-HERE with actually APP ID. Then just submit that by selecting one of your pages and you're done.
I'm new to facebook app development and i cant seem to figure this out. I have a simple app i made (an iframe website) that i want to add to a tab on my facebook page. When i try to click on the + tab to add it to my page i only have a few options of youtube, events, fbml... When i do a search absolutely nothing comes up unless i search for those items i just mentioned before (youtube, events, fbml).
Type this into your browser's url bar with the appropiate ids. (I already assume you have configured the app settings for page tab urls,etc).
