I am unable to get the auto-post to Facebook or LinkedIn to work after extensive attempts. I have successfully configured Twitter and it is working. For both Facebook and LinkedIn, I have been able to connect to my accounts from within EasyBlog, but I am unable to post to either of them. Please advise.
Hi Ed,

I could not access your backend with the provided credentials(http://take.ms/qqDa4).

Please advice. Thanks.

Hey Ed,

Facebook made some changes in their new API which requires us to make some changes as well. These will be included in the next EasyBlog release.

In the meantime, I have helped you apply a fix file for this at:
JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/oauth/adapters/facebook/client.php

The original file is at the same directory which I have renamed to client.php_backup.

After that, I tried manually autopost a post to Facebook and it works(http://take.ms/TF4QR).

Can you give it a try again and let us know how it goes? Thanks.

I also tested LinkedIn autopost and it is working fine: http://take.ms/L2DFR

By the way, if you want to autopost those posts when they are first published, you have to enable the setting 'Autopost On New Post' in your autoposting configuration: http://take.ms/tmXvl

Thanks Raymond! All is working now correctly.

BTW I was aware of the auto-post configuration but for now, I wanted to control what was posted to which social site.

Thanks.

Ed
