Error Massage Pop Up When Try To Add Facebook Fan Page

Hello,
I failed to link my account with facebook fan page. When I hit "ON" to my fan page then next window open for drop down fan pages, I selected my page name but it shows this msg
"This page does not have permission to install the custom tab". I have changed my page template but it shows same.
Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance!

FYI, just did a quick google search and this appears to be part of a change (this month) that doesn't allow fan pages with less than 2000 likes to install any sort of custom tabs.

A link to the Facebook developer page:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/tabs

"The Page Tabs feature is only available to Pages with 2000 or more fans, or pages managed by whitelisted apps."

So it's either only going to work on larger pages or FAA needs to find out how to go about getting to be a "whitelisted app".

This appears to be a new change. I found quite a few posts about it indicating this change was done this month. Probably one of many changes coming to Facebook in light of Cambridge Analytica etc....

PS In other words Abira, there's nothing you can personally do to fix this unless you are close to having 2000 fans and can find a few more!

Any updates regarding FAA attempting to become whitelisted????
That would really help.
Is there anything we can do to encourage FAA to become whitelisted?

Well, I just signed up with FAA, created a "fan" page which is really now a "business page" and got the same error. Hope this resolves quickly! :) Isabella, will you let us know? Looks like this problem has been going on for a while now.

How could I post my photos manually on FB?

Is there any news on "whitelisting" yet? This was the main reason that I joined FAA.
