Owners of websites with custom domains couldn't use social posting for quite a while, and now they finally have this possibility!

Let's start. Firstly, you need to get the Developer status for your Facebook account. Log in to Facebook and go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps . If you account has already the Developer status, you can proceed to app creation:



If you have an ordinary account, you will see the following:



Click Register Now in the top right corner. Follow further instructions. You will need to enter your phone number to verify your account if you didn't do it before. If you don't receive a text message with the verification code within 5 minutes, request a new one. Then set up your developers profile (you can actually choose any areas of activity, any experience level).

That's it. You have registered as a developer and can start creating an app for your website:

1. Open https://developers.facebook.com/apps , and click Add a New App.

2. Select the platform (Website):



Click Skip Quickstart:



Fill in the fields in the window that will appear:



Switch to the app Settings, click Add Platform and choose Website:



Fill in the fields as on the screenshot below:



App Domains: enter your custom domain without http://
Contact Email: enter your email address
Site URL: enter your custom domain with http://

Click Save Changes.

Go to Status & Review tab and change the setting to Yes:



3. Now you have your own application that you need to connect in the website Control Panel:



Enter the data and click Continue. If the app data (App ID and App Secret) have been copied correctly, you will see the following:



Click Connect. That's it! The app has been connected and you can now post to Facebook.

Sunny, I will continue in the correct thread about my current probem with connecting with facebook.

I still have the Auth error 200 even when following all the steps that you mentioned and facebook said that the problem is not at their end because i don't even need those publishing permissions to publish on my own pages automaticly (thats what they said)
