Can't get this working. - Facebook Connect | Forum

I've configured my App within FB (I've done this with other sites, so I know I've done this correctly). Anyway, the FBConnect calls Facebook, and asks me to log in with my fb details. I do this, but then I get a popup on my site saying:



"Seems there are some problems with the connection to Facebook. Please, try again later."

I thought this might be because it's a development site, so I have it password protected from within the privacy settings. So I turned this off, but it still doesn't work.


Please help!

Kev, we have just successfully configured FB connect.
Can you please provide the screenshot of your facebook app settings page?

Thanks for coming back to me. Here are some screenshots for you:








As you can see, all seems to be correct. The URL is the correct URL of my development site.

I've also just removed and re-added the FB app (just in case a space was pasted, or something like that). But the issue persists.

I think I know what the issue is - I think it's my facebook account. Let me test and I'll update.

Yep. It was my fault (sorry).


The app was in development mode because I forgot to add an email address to it. Did that, made the app public, and it's working just fine now.


Thanks for the help.
