I have a website: http://www.coversfm.com
I made a Facebook page for it: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Covers-FM/139507146178187
When I go to the FB page, I see a yellow message box:
“This is the administration interface for your webpage at http://www.coversfm.com/. You can see Insights and publish to the users that have liked your webpage. Only the administrators of the webpage can view this interface, other users are sent to the webpage.”
So when other people (non-admins) Like this page or click through from the newsfeed, they get automatically redirected out to the external site – so the Facebook Page (timeline for Covers FM) never gets seen by anyone except me.
To further confuse things, in the page’s settings, I see options such as “Everyone can post to Covers FM’s timeline” – suggesting that regular users should in fact be able to access the timeline view??
How can I fix this? I want to have a Page/Timeline presence on Facebook!
Thanks.
I’ve found the solution, although rather frustratingly only after I’d created a new page, merged the Likes from the old one, losing all the old Page’s posts. What I SHOULD have done is this:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/migration/
Basically, as CBroe alluded to, the recent Like migration enables you to migrate an external Like into an internal Like (ie. a real FB page that people can see and post to etc.).
Very annoying. Not massive amounts of content lost, but just need to start building up the page with a few posts, prof pic, cover pic etc.
Oh well, mystery solved. Hope it helps someone else!
