hi all
Facebook changed their API code on May 1st. As a result of that change, the FAA -> Facebook connections is temporarily broken.
We (FAA) have made the necessary changes on our end to work with Facebook's new code, and we're now just waiting for Facebook to approve our new changes and reactivate the FAA -> Facebook connection. That approval process is supposed to be finished by Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Until then, our code won't be able to automatically post messages onto your Facebook timelines.
You'll have to post the messages manually by copying your FAA URLs and posting them into your Facebook timelines.
This message is also going on the applications page
FIXED
Just disable and re-enable again

Side note I was able to share directly from my FAA page to my Face book page ( business page) and that seems to have worked as well.

I haven't been able to link my FB fan page up with FAA for months now anyway sooooo. On a positive note, I feel that my artistic efforts have been improving since I've been on FAA so a big thanks to you all! :)

I post mine manually, as well. But, lately, when I post from my artist's website, the image doesn't show up, just the FAA logo. Any feedback re?

Now I'm getting an error message that I have to allow FAA to "Manage your pages", "Publish to Your Wall", and "Find Your Friends".
What?

By golly it's working again, and I successfully sent an image via the auto-post feature to FB just a moment ago. Thanks for fixing it! :)

Mine worked well a couple of hours ago.... my 3 edited images posted to FB and my fan page and also Twitter.
I have redone all apps.
I just uploaded a new image. It posted to FB and fanpage, BUT NOT TWITTER!! Twitter has always worked up until now.

Thank you for this information. I also have a problem with my FAA website. I can not add or change anything regarding my website. The system denied my login. First of all it kept saying my password is wrong, but I was OK to login to my FAA page. I changed my FAA password in general, and still not able to login to my FAA website to apply some changes, now it is showing that my email is wrong. I am using my regular email. Could you please help me with this problem.
My FAA website is anna - duyunova.artistwebsites.com
Thank you

My Facebook app link to FAA is working fine. The problem I seem to have at the moment is that whenever I manually insert a link to my work back to FAA, I get a picture of a flower on a cushion. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice flower, it's just not mine! I remember mentioning this last week but thought it was Mr Zuckerberg having a tinker with his Facebook settings and wondered at one point if Mr Zuckerberg wanted to buy many of this particular cushion for his house. It appears though, others are experiencing the same issue.
The only other problem with Facebook is the way they changed the organic reach on pages posts, nothing to do with FAA, but it makes it much more difficult to promote your work. Never previously given time to Google+ but there are no issues posting anything on there, but compared to Twitter and Facebook you can hear the gentle rustle of tumbleweed as not too many people seem to default to Google+. The only other thing I have noticed that's a bit odd is that when you try and post a Twitter link from a limited time promotion page, it opens Twitter but doesn't seem to post anything.
I also have the same issue as another FAA member when trying to log on to my artist website. It says my email isn't correct. When I open it up in Chrome, it lets me log in, so I'm wondering if it's a Safari issue on the iPad remembering usernames but even clearing the cache and manually typing in the user credentials gives the same result in Safari. Only tried it in Chrome and Safari so not sure if it happens in other browsers.
No major problems, just the odd glitch!

In regards to my post here 21 hours ago, my connection between FAA and FB is still working, but the image sent to twitter never showed.
8 Years Ago
Greg, I have the same problem still. FB is now working fine for me too.
I did edit a couple of images and they showed on Twitter not long ago, but the last image I submitted did not show on Twitter. Seems spasmotic at present.
I reapplied the App twice for Twitter.

Abbie,
thanks, Sean as well, thanks.
But.....I have never been a FB fan. I know groups are good for sales still, but the rest of throttled FB
is a wasteland for sales. No reach.
I very strongly recommend folks look into G+ business pages. G+ Business is turning into a new powerhouse.
Search
Flickr like showcase for Photos which as we all know can be images of paintings
Leg up in Google search
better organized groups than FB, just my opinion and it is very early in
their development.
Businesses prefer G+, it is multipurpose and now well designed.
On Compete.com in the last ten months Google + has gone from 50 million unique visitors
per month to 69 million. This is very fast growth.
FB a year or two ago threatened to get into search. Instead Google is getting into FB and Flickr's territory
and very successfully.

I have a question. Hope someone has the answer. I have several (4-5) kinds of artwork and they have different target audiences. As such, I have to have several Facebook profiles. One for each line of Artworks. So, my question is, may I have several Facebook stores with one FAA account, or do I need to have several FAA accounts? (and pay the membership for each one?).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Abbie for the update. I have not been to Facebook in quite some time will have to pop in and see what is occurring.....
Cheers, Michael Hoard Principal Actor, Artist and Photographer.

Facebook carts just do one
I wouldn't have different accounts...just share manually and use your call to action button to link to the gallery. Call to action button is the one on your FB pages cover image

Abbie, here is the link to my Facebook fan page. I think I have the older App. >> https://www.facebook.com/KayeMennerPhotography
I followed the link from the recent FAA email to get the new app >> http://fineartamerica.com/announcementfacebookshoppingcart.html
I click on "Click here to get started", and it comes up with my FAA Social Media page where I have turned my FB fan page OFF. All good so far.
I then turn it ON again and all I get is a blank page, nothing is loading. This is the URL >> https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=309028460694&display=popup&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffineartamerica.com%2Fannouncementsocialmedialinks.html
When I click on Mandy Wiltse's page, then click on her shopping cart, I see one of MY duvet covers all by itself with no other images. >> https://www.facebook.com/mandywiltse?v=app_309028460694
Have I done something wrong here? or are there still some issues with this?
Thanks, Kaye :)

Abbie, the new look Cart is now showing. Perhaps it just takes time to show up?
No need to reply, but if it disappears again, I will send another post.
8 Years Ago
Abbie, it did show as the samples in the email showed, but it has now disappeared again. It now again just shows the regular "Shop Now" which goes to AW link.
I read the other discussion also, but this did not help either.
