 * Hi Support Team,
 * We followed your guide here for connecting the plugin to facebook as suggested
   [https://wpreviewslider.userecho.com/knowledge-bases/2/articles/548-facebook-error-unable-to-find-the-auth-token-for-that-page-or-oops-unable-to-update-the-db-with](https://wpreviewslider.userecho.com/knowledge-bases/2/articles/548-facebook-error-unable-to-find-the-auth-token-for-that-page-or-oops-unable-to-update-the-db-with)
 * But when we tried to “Retrieve Reviews” it says:
    **Error validating access token:
   This may be because the user logged out or may be due to a system error. Please
   visit this page for things to try.**
 * The given secret access code was correct.
 * Thanks is advance for your help!
 * Cheers

 * Hi Support team,
 * For an update:
 * We tried retrieving the facebook reviews and it says:
    Finished! The reviews 
   should now show up on the Review List page of the plugin as per screenshot down
   below:
 * [⌊2019-07-22_1550⌉⌊2019-07-22_1550⌉[
 * But there is no generated/retrieved testimonials on the list?
 * Can anyone give us advise?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * See if there are any error messages in the console window. Right-click on the
   page > inspect, look for the console window.

 * Hi [@jgwhite33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgwhite33/)
 * Thank you for your response.
 * We did another step from this guide over again but with no luck [https://wpreviewslider.userecho.com/knowledge-bases/2/articles/548-facebook-error-unable-to-find-the-auth-token-for-that-page-or-oops-unable-to-update-the-db-with](https://wpreviewslider.userecho.com/knowledge-bases/2/articles/548-facebook-error-unable-to-find-the-auth-token-for-that-page-or-oops-unable-to-update-the-db-with)
 * Now this is the new generated error [https://www.screencast.com/t/AkxGopdvET](https://www.screencast.com/t/AkxGopdvET)
 * As you can see the WP Review Slider Facebook App Admin is all correct here [https://www.screencast.com/t/oKuqbxDKMx](https://www.screencast.com/t/oKuqbxDKMx)
 * Any recommendations to solve this issue? or any updates from FB ratings API endpoint?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I would try these steps again…
 * First revoke access for the app to your FB account. Go here…
 * [https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools](https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools)
 * Find “WP Review Slider” and remove it.
 * Then you can go here…
 * [https://fbapp.ljapps.com/login.php](https://fbapp.ljapps.com/login.php)
 * and sign-in. That should request a new API token from FB.
 * Finally, **un-check and re-check** any pages that you want to use in the plugin.

 * Hi [@jgwhite33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgwhite33/)
 * Might you haven’t noticed that I did that steps already last time as I stated
   on my last response to you [https://www.screencast.com/t/jtvOLUepWAT](https://www.screencast.com/t/jtvOLUepWAT)
 * For the benefit of the doubt, I did the steps you advised again today but with
   same results and issue still persist.
 * The result again is “**Finished! The reviews should now show up on the Review
   List page of the plugin.**”
 * [⌊2019-07-24_1141⌉⌊2019-07-24_1141⌉[
 * But there is no generated/retrieved tesimonials from facebook in the list.
 * As you can see here, all the details were correct:
 * [⌊2019-07-24_1144⌉⌊2019-07-24_1144⌉[
 * I’m wondering is this is an issue with your plugin or from facebook?
 * Thanks in advance for your help!!!

 * So it seems FB is having some issues with their API at the moment. Here are links
   to the support threads. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon.
