      I hired a contractor to configure a WP plugin to syndicate FB, G+, Twitter and standard WP posts.  He is using NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster.  He came back to me saying that FB is now only allowing direct owners (not admins) of FB pages to create keys.  This means I have to give my client's personal FB access to a third party contractor.

      I'm not comfortable asking my client to do this.  Does anybody know of a way around this?  Is there a way to create a FB key with just admin access?

      Thanks

        Hello Rosemary,

        This is the Nextscript announcement your contractor is talking about:

        [Update – May 2014] Facebook changed some rules regarding the apps. This means that the Facebook App, Facebook profile or page and the user who authorizes the app MUST belong to the same Facebook account. So please make sure you are logged to Facebook as the same user who created the app.

        You definitely don't need to give your client's personal FB access to a third party 🙂 BUT you should create the Facebook App (keys) by yourself and finally go to the wordpress and authorize the access.

        Detailed instructions here: http://www.nextscripts.com/instructions/facebook-social-networks-auto-poster-setup-installation/

        I'm afraid there's no other way! Hope this helps! 🙂

        Luis
