 * Hi,
    If i authorize the plugin with the app in develop mode, is working fine.
   The “authorize” button itself is working, the auto posting on Facebook is working,
   is visible for me, as an admin of the page, but not for others. So I have to 
   make the Facebook app live. The moment I make the Facebook app live is not gonna
   post anymore, not even for admins, and when i authorize it it gives me this [error.](https://imgur.com/a/ldmx3te)
   Thank you.

 * If you switch the app from live to development mode ,then it won’t show the invalid
   scope error and also posts will be auto published to Facebook,but the posts won’t
   be visible to others since the app is in development mode.These post will only
   appear when you make the app live.But switching app from development to public
   and vice versa is not a solution.
 * Your app need to go through the review process for the scopes publish_pages,manage_pages
   and user_photos to work with the existing plugin code.
    We did submitted several
   apps to Facebook for review . If Facebook approves them, we will create a guide
   and update our instructions. Since submitting app for review is a complicated
   and time consuming task, we are working on alternative method. Thank you for 
   the feedback and support
