bikedorkseattle Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2018/04/24/new-facebook-platform-product-changes-policy-updates/ Quote The publish_actions permission will be deprecated. This permission granted apps access to publish posts to Facebook as the logged in user. Apps created from today onwards will not have access to this permission. Apps created before today that have been previously approved to request publish_actions can continue to do so until August 1, 2018. No further apps will be approved to use publish_actions via app review. Developers currently utilizing publish_actions are encouraged to switch to Facebook’s Share dialogs for web, iOS and Android.
Steph40 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Good to know, was going to waste time on that, now I won't.

Aiwa Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Just means there's 1 extra step to sharing content... publish_actions is only required if you're using THIS method of sharing. The normal share link on the right side of a post is unaffected by this.

The normal share link on the right side of a post is unaffected by this. But isn’t it killing all auto/scheduled publishing, e.g. Our Picks or basically what all those social media tools (Hootsuite and the like) are doing? That would have a huge effect – not so much that individual sharing you show in the screenshot.
Management Matt Posted May 1, 2018 Management Posted May 1, 2018 Here's what we know. publish_actions is going to be removed. This affects the "auto share this post to Facebook". So we're going to remove this feature. Facebook Promote to Groups is currently on hold. Facebook have requested that all new apps and all current apps are put in review for this permission. Right now they are not approving any apps, so promoting to groups doesn't work and we can't do anything about that right now. Facebook Promote to a Page, this should be fine.
bikedorkseattle Posted May 1, 2018 Author Posted May 1, 2018 @Matt My understanding is this is only getting removed for profiles and not pages?
bikedorkseattle Posted May 8, 2018 Author Posted May 8, 2018 I just want to confirm that is is only for profiles and not pages, so you just need to change this to only connect using Pages and use the publish_pages permissions.
