With the recent adjustments to the Facebook API, if you don't have heightened publish_stream permission for your fb app, as the developer, you are now getting the message:

Invalid Scopes: publish_stream. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions

And you are unable to login, as it invalidates the token. Where is the reference in the ES code to remove it requesting publish_stream access upon login?
Hello Austin,

It seems like in recent facebook API, the publish_stream is replaced with publish_actions. Can you download the attachment below and place it inside your /administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/oauth/clients/facebook folder and see how it goes?

Hi,
I had to upload the file even after the most recent update EasySocial v1.3.28 ?
Will this be a part of the next update ?
Thanks
Danny
