TROUBLESHOOTING - Facebook new page experience

If your Facebook Business Page has upgraded to the "Facebook new page experience" you may experience an error saying you are not the admin or editor of your page. When Facebook updates the Facebook Business Page to the new layout, sometimes, it doesn't carry the user page role over, which means that you are not an admin or editor of the page anymore.

If this is the case, here are the steps to fix it:

1. Go to the Facebook Business Page
2. Click "Manage"
3. Click "Page Access"
4. List of people with Facebook access (you or the person you are looking for is probably not on that list)
5. Click "Add New" and add yourself or someone else (if you are not able to add/find yourself, follow the directions below and switch back to the Classic Page)
6. Toggle to give full access to that person you're adding
7. Add your personal Facebook password and press "Confirm"

The added user will receive an invite notification

1. Click on that invite (that will redirect to the business page)
2. Close the pop-up (DO NOT click on "review now")
3. Click on "Review Invite" and "Accept"

Now you or the person you added has admin access to that page and is able to connect to Social Share.

Switching back to Classic Page:

Sometimes, the search to add new people doesn't work. The user can come back later to try again or switch back to the Classic Page.

1. Go to the Facebook Business Page
2. Click on the three dots
3. Switch to Classic Page
4. Reload the Page
5. Click "Page Roles" to check if the user has an admin or editor role

If yes, you can now connect your page on Social Share.

2. Post Directly to your Instagram business page

In order to post on Instagram, you will need both an Instagram and Facebook business account.

• Click on the Instagram button, then log in to your Facebook account that is connected to the Facebook business page you wish to use.
• Once you’ve done that it will display a list of your available Instagram business pages. Select one or multiple pages, but they must all be connected to the Facebook account you logged in with. Select which pages you’d like to connect to, and then click Next.
• Select the respective Facebook page or pages that are connected to the Instagram page or pages you previously selected. If you do not do this, an error message will appear, and you will need to start over. To prevent this, feel free to connect all your Facebook pages, even if they aren't all connected to an Instagram account.
• On the next screen, you must keep all the permissions switches set to YES, or the integration won’t work. Once you complete these steps, your accounts will be connected.
• Now it’s as easy as clicking the Instagram icon, selecting which pages you’d like to post to, and then clicking post now!

3. Post Directly to your Twitter Account
