1. Error validating access token:
Error message:
Error validating access token: The session has been invalidated because the user changed their password or Facebook has changed the session for security reasons.

✅ Solution:
Simply reconnect your Facebook channel.
2. You are blocked from acting as your Page until you complete verification for publishing on Pages:
Error message:
You are restricted indefinitely from the ability to act as your Page until you complete Page Authorization. Go back to your main profile to complete the authorization under Settings - Account Settings - Verifying your identity. Complete verification, otherwise your account will be restricted
📔 Explanation:
In an effort to increase accountability of Pages, Facebook is requiring people who manage high potential reach Pages to get authorized to publish as their Page.
✅ Solution:
3. Links to Facebook groups, events, profiles or private Facebook posts can't be shared.
Error message:
Links to Facebook posts, groups or profiles can't be shared.
📔 Explanation:
Facebook does not allow the sharing of links to Facebook Events through the API.
✅ Solution:
You can share the event link directly on Facebook.
Another workaround is to only share the link to the event in the post content without the preview
Create a social post for Facebook
Add the event link in the post content
A preview will be automatically created and attached to the post
Click the delete button to remove it
Now you can publish the post with a link to the event
You can attach an article/image/video or another valid link to the post if you want.
🎉 You're done, grab a coffee, you deserve it!
