I have used this plugin (2.1) for a long time but now it seems to randomly fail to display at facebook. Everything is ok and if I make a testpost it shows on fb. All my posts are scheduled and there has been no problem before. I run wordpress 4.9.9 and I cant find the problem. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-doesnt-work-randomly%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [anjalixyzscripts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anjali94/) * (@anjali94) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-randomly/#post-11169251) * Please check the post logs under the Logs menu of WP Facebook Auto Publish.

WP Facebook Auto Publish requires publish_pages and manage_pages permission. You should submit your app for review or use our [approved app](https://help.xyzscripts.com/docs/social-media-auto-publish/faq/how-can-i-use-the-alternate-solution-for-publishing-posts-to-facebook/).

This message is only shown to > developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. * You have 2 options available in WP Facebook Auto Publish for auto posting to Facebook. * 1.Create a facebook app, submit it for approval and use the app. (We can use our own app only after getting approval from Facebook. For getting approval we need to submit the app for approval and it is a complex procedure and it may take upto 3 months to get approval.) The facebook app creation and submissions details are available in [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/) If you have trouble in creating screencast/review submission ,please contact our support desk([https://xyzscripts.com/support/](https://xyzscripts.com/support/)) with the necessary login credentials required for App review. We will submit your App for review. * 2.Use a third party approved app (It is a paid service) If you find it difficult to submit the own facebook app for approval, you can use a third party app (which is a paid service starts from USD 10 per year). The details are available in [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/) * Hope this helps.

Ive got the review back now from fb… * They wont approve it since they cant test it.. so much for that… * [anjalixyzscripts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anjali94/) * (@anjali94) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-randomly/#post-11183168) * Please create a temporary WordPress user for Facebook and submit the login credentials of that user(of your WordPress site where the plugin is installed) to Facebook. That will be required for Facebook reviewers to log into your app or website to test and verify that you are following Facebook policies. And you can remove that user after Facebook review. * [millgibson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/millgibson/) * (@millgibson) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-randomly/#post-11257485) * That is a common message returned by Facebook api ,when trying to access Page/ Group without reviewing Facebook app. please check my website you will come to know [cover letter](http://www.cover-letter-format.com/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Plugin doesnt work randomly’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/facebook-auto-publish/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=2124304) * [WP2Social Auto Publish](https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-auto-publish/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-auto-publish/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/facebook-auto-publish/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/facebook-auto-publish/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/facebook-auto-publish/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/facebook-auto-publish/reviews/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [millgibson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/millgibson/) * Last activity: [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-work-randomly/#post-11257485) * Status: not resolved
