Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Invalid Access Token:

• Token expired. Generate a new one and re-run setup.
• Check token permissions.

Page Not Found:

• Verify page_id is correct.
• Ensure token has access to the page.

Permission Denied:

• Token needs pages_manage_posts permission.
• Re-generate token with correct permissions.

API References

• Facebook Graph API
• Page Posts API
• Page Photos API

Security Considerations

• Access tokens are stored in plain text in the config file
• Do not share your config file
• Revoke tokens when no longer needed
• Use environment variables for sensitive data in production
