Hello Support

I am trying to autopost again for the first time in donkeys years and something seems to be broken.

I have logged into to my Facebook developers section.
Noticed that my App ID & App Secret number had changed so copied & pasted the new codes
from FB back into the EB autpost section.

But still see the following message:

"You will need to sign on with your respective account to grant privileges to the application first."

my site URL in the FB app is:

http://finalbug.net/

please advise

thanks

Paul
Hi Paul,

I have successfully autopost to Facebook. Here is my screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/OEidExX5OZRj . Can you verify this for me?

I believe the issue you're having is that the Facebook token is expired. So, you need to revoke the access and re-authenticate it back. By the way, the reason why you're hitting this, "You will need to sign on with your respective account to grant privileges to the application first." you need to Use Facebook as yourself first before you able to authenticate the apps. Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/E9wwpWxf06N .

Hope this could help and please update us back on this issue.
