 * Hi,
    Is Facebook having a known issue right now? I already have a facebook app,
   entered the correct callback, entered the correct app key and secret, but when
   I try to authorize, I just get the “Sorry something went wrong…” page on Facebook.
   I have tried in several browsers and on different devices. Thanks

 * So, I reread the instructions and created a new app, this time leaving it development.
   
   This time I got the authorization screen instead of the “Something went wrong
   error” but when I clicked the button to authorize it then redirected me back 
   to wp-admin to the area for a different plugin on my site. If I try to import
   an event I get an unauthorized error, if I try to authorize again with facebook,
   I end up back in the area for an unrelated plugin in wp-admin. How can I fix 
   this? Thanks!

 * OK, I added a support ticket with links to screenshots. I do not believe I missed
   any steps, however.
