Issue 1: Facebook Pages Not Showing in Social Planner

If some Facebook Pages do not appear when connecting, the issue is almost always related to permissions or how the page was originally connected.

Cause: Missing Facebook Page Access

Even if you manage a Page through Meta Business Manager, Social Planner requires direct Facebook Page access with content permissions.

Step 1: Switch to the Correct Facebook Page

  1. Log in to Facebook.

  2. Click your profile icon in the top-right.

  3. Select the Facebook Page you want to manage.

Step 2: Confirm You Are Acting as the Page

Once switched:

  • The Page name appears in the left sidebar.

  • Page posting options become visible.

Step 3: Open Page Management

  1. On the Page, click Manage.

  2. This opens the Page management view.

Step 4: Verify Page Access

  1. In the left menu, click Professional dashboard.

  2. Scroll to and select Page access.

Step 5: Confirm Facebook Access (Not Business Access)

Under Page access, confirm:

  • Your name appears under People with Facebook access

  • You have full control permissions

Important

  • Business account access alone will NOT work

  • The user must have direct Facebook access

  • Ask the Page owner to add you if missing

Issue 2: Page Missing Despite Admin Access

If you are an admin, but the Page still does not appear, permissions were likely not fully granted during the original connection.

Step 6: Open Facebook Settings

  1. Click your profile icon.

  2. Select Settings & privacy.

  3. Click Settings.

Step 7: Open Business Integrations

  1. In Settings, click Business integrations.

  2. Locate LeadConnector (or the connected Kyrios integration).

  3. Click View and edit.

Step 8: Verify Integration Permissions

In the integration details:

  • Ensure all Pages are selected

  • Ensure all permissions are enabled

  • Save changes

Step 9: Reconnect Facebook in Social Planner

  1. Go to Marketing > Social Planner > Settings.

  2. Open Social Accounts.

  3. Reconnect Facebook.

  4. Make sure all Pages are checked during reconnection.

Previously missing Pages should now appear.

Issue 3: Facebook Post Failed to Publish

Below are the most common publishing errors and how to fix them.

Cause: Abusive or Restricted Content

Facebook blocks posts that violate Community Standards.

Fix

  • Remove restricted language

  • Avoid excessive symbols or repeated emojis

Cause: Expired Access Token

Tokens expire if:

  • Facebook password was changed

  • No posts were published in 90 days

Fix

  • Reconnect Facebook in Social Planner

Cause: Two-Factor Authentication Mismatch

If 2FA is enabled on the Page:

  • The connecting Facebook user must also have 2FA enabled

Fix

  • Enable 2FA

  • Reconnect the account

Cause: Missing manage_permissions

If posting for a client:

  • You must have full Page admin permissions

  • Permissions must be granted during connection

Fix

  • Reconnect and approve all Page permissions

Cause: Missing or Invalid Media

Posts fail if:

  • Linked images were deleted

  • URLs no longer load

Fix

  • Re-upload images

  • Validate links before posting

Issue 4: Unable to Reconnect a Facebook Page or Group

Only the original connecting Facebook user can reconnect a Page or Group.

How to Fix Reconnection Issues

  1. Identify who originally connected the Page.

  2. That same user must reconnect it.

Example

  • Emily connected the Page originally.

  • Alex (account admin) cannot reconnect it.

  • Emily must reconnect it.

This is a known Facebook limitation.

Social Planner Check: Expired Connections

Expired Facebook connections appear under the Expired filter.

Reconnect expired accounts to restore publishing.

FAQ

How do I fix an expired access token?

Reconnect the Facebook account in Social Planner.

What does manage_permissions it mean?

It means full Page admin permissions were not granted during the connection.

Why does Facebook say my post failed?

Who can reconnect a Page?

Only the Facebook user who originally connected the Page.
