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:
- Go to the Facebook Business Page
- Click "Manage"
- Click "Page Access"
- List of people with Facebook access (you are probably not on that list)
- Click "Add New" to add someone else
- Toggle to give full access to that person you're adding
- Add your personal Facebook password and press "Confirm"
The added user will receive an invite notification
- Click on that invite (that will redirect to the business page)
- Close the pop-up (DO NOT click on "review now")
- 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.
If yes, you can now connect your page on Social Share.

Can I boost or use the Social Share designs as ads on social media?
Our Social Share graphics help you engage and connect with your audience in a unique and captivating way. However, it's important to note these graphics are not intended for use as ads on platforms like Facebook or any other advertising platform. While they may be visually appealing and shareable, they lack the specific characteristics and requirements necessary for effective ad campaigns. Advertisements typically require strategic targeting, optimized copywriting, and adherence to specific guidelines set by each platform. Our Social Share graphics are best suited for organic social media sharing, sparking conversations, and promoting your brand's message in a non-commercial context.
