    Hi guys,

    I have done something wrong. Would you please help me troubleshoot it?

    My new App is located at https://apps.facebook.com/blogferret

    When attempting to go to the App to finish setting up the plugin (after activating it in wordpress), I receive the following errors:

    Error
An error occurred with BlogFerret. Please try again later.

API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: next is not owned by the application.

    I was careful when setting it up and checked everything when it threw the error, but I must have missed something. Help? ??

    What is your WordPress blog URL? Do you have any plugins active, primarilly ones that interact with Facebook? When did you first notice this error durning the installation?

    Also, I noticed the error after I activated the plugin on the website and went to the app in my browser.

    What’s strange is that it seems to start to load your app then decides to throw and error.

    I’m gonna state the obvouse but what is your canvas url? Do you have the app set to iframe? Are you using any Facebook spacific plugins?

    It does look like others are having this issue with the javascript sdk https://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12194

    I was able to get it to load but replacing “next=https://midnightferret.com” with “next=https://apps.facebook.com/blogferret”

    In the page which loads and throws the error.

    So for some reason FB is trying to redirect to midnightferret.com after getting permission from the user, rather than to apps.facebook.com/blogferret

    Did you set a bookmark url, or some other url in the settings not specified in the directions?

    Not sure why this would happen – seems to be something in the FB SDK which sets a “next” for the authorization process.

    Also, if you are using any other facebook plugins, try disabling them – if they are loading out of date versions of the facebook library that can cause errors like these

    OK, I disabled “Follow Me” which is the only FB-related plugin I had. I went through the instructions again, and used the handy pics! I didn’t set a bookmark url or anything else not specifically mentioned in the instructions. I checked all my App settings and plugin settings, and I still can’t figure out why it redirects to my blog and not to the app page.

    Hmm. I’ve no idea at this point.

    Interestingly, googling the error message ‘

    turns up hints like this one:

    To fix this, go to the Facebook Application Settings > Canvas page and make sure you enter a Post-Authorize Redirect URL.

    Except that there is nowhere to set a post-authorize redirect any more. There used to be, but not anymore.

    Others point to a base domain issue – maybe having to do with the difference between https://www.midnightferret.com and midnightferret.com?

    Seems like you are setting your canvas url to https://www.midnightferret.com but your blog redirects to midnightferret.com without the WWW.

    Maybe try setting a “base domain” on the “website” section of the FB app settings, with base domain of midnightferret.com?

    I don’t know if this is related but another user had a simular problem and they had to remove the “www” from their domain to get it to work inside facebook.

    Oh, thanks, y’all. Yep. Setting the base domain on the “website” section of the F App settings fixed it. Now I can get on with configurating.

    Thank you all so much for your help. This plugin has awesome tech support!

    I can’t wait to get it going!
