Hi Charlotte, There are a several ways that you can create links from your website to Facebook. The SiteBuilder provides you with two options. I noticed your site was built with SiteBuilder (desktop version), so here is a screenshot showing you where to access the feature.
Just click the Communication tab, then you'll see the Facebook Like icon, or the Social Networking link.
Then just follow the prompts on the screen.

Is there a way to do this on Sitebuilder Plus?

Hi Drew,
I'd like to have the little box which contains the most recent post from my Facebook page, and updates when I change the Facebook status.
Thanks,
Nancy

And just to add, I am trying this without the Sitebuilder Desktop version. This is from the web-based Sitebuilder.
Thanks,

Hi Nancy4353,
You have to get the feed code for your account from the Facebook developer's network. Once you have the code, you can add it to your site using an HTML box in Sitebuilder.
Thanks

Hello,
We should be able to disconnect the Facebook connection and re-connect it back. This should let you post again to Facebook. You will need to log into the Facebook account and go to the settings. Then you want to click the app tab and remove the Homestead app to Facebook. Facebook will remember the connection, so you will have to wait at least 24 hours before trying to share to Facebook again.

What if you've dumped the app, waited 24 hours and still can't post. I'm on a Mac and can't seem to get the update to work. It did before, but then you upgraded and it hasn't worked since.

Hi KenTuna,
If you've removed the app from Facebook more than 24 hours ago, please try again and let me know what the message is that you get.

I tried it again and it actually worked. That was 3 times ago so just like a doctor, whatever it was disappeared because of the visit. Thanks Todd!

Once again, I'm unable to post to Facebook. This is after numerous attempts following your instructions from previous texts. I just saw Jennifer1780's query and think I may need to try this route as well - disconnecting my account. Let me know what I need to do! Thanks much.

I have disconnected you on our end. You will now need to uninstall the Homestead app from your Facebook account. The try again and you will need to authorize Sitebuilder with Facebook.

How do I do all of that?
Drew N, Alum

You have to go the settings in your Facebook account and then the apps section. Find Homestead and uninstall it. Then when you publish and try to share, you should get a pop up from Facebook asking for permission to post. Follow the screen instructions at that point

I went to Facebook apps and there weren't any. I know this isn't right, but the page was blank except for a dialogue asking if I wanted to add apps. Go figure!

That is strange. It should have been there if you have posted before. Can you use the social share now though?

Hi Drew,
I continue to be plagued with not being able to have my site builder updates go through to facebook. I've tried all of the steps provided by you a year ago, but can usually post once and then I'm out. I don't know where the error is occurring, but I really need it fixed.

I'll take a look. Have you tried a different browser, just as a test?

I think we tried Chrome and had the same result.

I removed the connection from our end, but you will still have to login to your Facebook and make sure the Homestead app has been removed. Can you check for that and make sure it is removed?

There may have been a change in the Facebook API. We are investigating this

No this is a constant problem. It never seems to work even after doing what you suggest multiple times. Any more advice?

If the problem is that Sitebuilder is not posting to your Facebook page, it is more than just uninstalling the app. We also have to disconnect your account, so you can authorize Sitebuilder again. This tends to happen when Facebook makes an update to their API. Let us know if you would like us to disconnect Facebook. If the problem is something else, let us know.
Hi Drew
I am using Site Builder Plus. I cannot link a page with Facebook. Could you advise? Loyd

Hi Loyd3683, I am not sure what you mean by link a page to Facebook. Do you just need to link text or an image to Facebook? or do you want to have a like or share button? Under the communication you can see the built in options for Facebook. There is a like button and you also have the Social networking button that has other options.
I am having the same problem with Facebook but when I go on my facebook account under settings and aps I don't see a Homestead link to remove

rebeccadixonlaw4397 what are you trying to do? I did not see any Facebook elements on your pages.

On the "Contact" page, there are social media icons at the bottom. If you click on the "f" for Facebook, the link takes you to my personal Facebook - not my business Facebook.

rebeccadixonlaw4397, You need to click on the social icons and then select Manage social icons. You need to enter your Facebook business page URL, and the others networks as well if necessary.

I'm trying to send my web updates to Facebook and am very frustrated with Facebook rejections of updates. This has been going on a long time. Last time, they had to reset something on the server before it worked again. It worked one time, then I was back where I started - unable to send my updates to Facebook.
Hi, I have disconnected the facebook app from my facebook, can you disconnect it from my end so that I can redo it?
