    Hi,

    Via the API integrations > Instagram API > I pressed connect – Went through the motions of selecting my facebook, and instagram accounts, everything went great and pressed save.

    Then shows the grey window XTEMOS “Select your facebook account:”
    Nothing appears here in the list.
    What has happened?

    I’ve tried the reconnect. And checked all my details, everything seems fine.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    This is usually the case when the Instagram account is not linked to Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/176235449218188

    Please recheck it, connect it and let me know the result.

    Kind Regards

    Hi there,
    Thanks for your quick reply.

    Within the facebook page – I go: Settings > Permissions > Linked Accounts — And it already shows as a connected Instagram account (see screenshot)

    So im unsure if this is the issue?

    The client gave me their Facebook login, for which they created the facebook page.
    Could it be that its trying to connect to their personal facebook and not the business page?

    Also im currently im building the new site on a subdomain, and have a public facing under construction page active. (Could these be the issue?) Surely not?

    Thanks for your assistance

    Hello,

    Most likely, you do not have a business page:

    Sorry – Ignore my previous reply.
    The client does have a facebook page yes.
    It adds in the process.

    I just set a proper page “Username” aka URL for the facebook page, and am attempting to reconnect.

    As im unsure of the process:
    – The client gave me his facebook login, which created the page
    – In the WP backoffice, when i click on the Instagram API connect button – it prompts me to switch accounts to the personal account, before it continues on the reconfigure process.

    See screenshot for page showing selected.
