If Facebook features stop working #

  1. Check whether Meta is still connected.
  2. Confirm the correct Facebook Page is still linked.
  3. Confirm the current user still has messaging or publishing access.
  4. Retry a read-only action first, then retry publishing or replying.

What happens if this fails? #

  • If Page permissions are removed, Page data and posting features stop loading.
  • If Messenger access is removed, message handling stops until permissions are restored.
  • If publishing fails, the post is not published and shows Failed in Posts — fix the cause, then Try again or Edit it.
