While autoposting to my FB timeline and to my FB Page continues to work fine, I just discovered that autoposting to my FB Closed Group is not working.
I get the error that is mentioned in NextScripts’ troubleshooting section:
Array ( [Warning] => [Error] => (#200) The user has not authorized the application to perform this action. )
I had made NO changes to my FB app settings. Nevertheless, I followed their suggestions and verified that my domain name and website URL are still properly set in my FB app settings.
It seems to me that the fact that I can still autopost to both my timeline and to my page, demonstrates that the problem is not in my FB app settings, or in my WordPress settings.
I noticed that, currently, at the top of my FB app page, it says “We are not reviewing apps at this time due to changes we are making to the Facebook Platform.” Whether or not that has any bearing on my current inability to autopost to my closed group, I am not sure.
Given the nature of previous problems which have sometimes mysteriously appeared, and then just as mysteriously disappeared, I am thinking that perhaps Facebook has temporarily disabled autoposting to FB groups, while it tinkers with its code.
Is anyone else experiencing this same error message while trying to autopost to closed groups, or any groups for that matter?
Thanks!
