 * Invalid Scopes: publish_pages, manage_pages. This message is only shown to developers.
   Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation
   for valid permissions at: [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions)
 * We’ve been using it fine for nearly a year, and today it stopped working.

 * There are 2 options,
    one is to submit your app for review(required permissions-
   manage_pages and publish_pages) and get it approved(See steps : [https://help.xyzscripts.com/docs/social-media-auto-publish/faq/how-can-i-create-facebook-application/](https://help.xyzscripts.com/docs/social-media-auto-publish/faq/how-can-i-create-facebook-application/))
   second is to use our pre-approved app . (This is a hosted service and hence requires
   payment ,See steps : [https://help.xyzscripts.com/docs/social-media-auto-publish/faq/how-can-i-use-the-alternate-solution-for-publishing-posts-to-facebook/](https://help.xyzscripts.com/docs/social-media-auto-publish/faq/how-can-i-use-the-alternate-solution-for-publishing-posts-to-facebook/)).
   You can use the free trail of SMAPSolution’s app for 1 month. Within this time
   you can complete the fb app review or continue using our hosted solution.
 * Hope this helps.
    Thank you.
