Something went wrong when connecting to Facebook!

Hi @jaybee13200,

Thanks for reaching out. Great work narrowing down the possible issues! Happy to help you with this.

Unfortunately, the “Something went wrong” error doesn’t tell us too much about what the issue might be. To help us out, we have a code snippet that I can share that will give us some better error messaging on that screen.

Here is the snippet:
add_filter( 'wc_facebook_connection_proxy_url', function() { return 'https://wc-connect-test.skyverge.com/auth/facebook/';} );

If you’re not sure how to add this snippet to your site, we have a blog post that should help out here. I personally prefer the free Code Snippets plugin for this.

Would you please add this to your site and try to connect again? I look forward to seeing what the error message gives you this time.

Thanks,
Marcus

Hello,

I am also having exactly the same problem.

I get the following message:

Please help?

Hey @bootsnbourbon,

Thank you for reaching out here. While the “Something went wrong” error is a bit of a catch-all and doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re having the same issue, I think I see what you are experiencing.

When stepping through the connection setup process, you should see a screen with a few on/off toggles. You’ll need to make sure that the “Manage business” toggle is ON. Facebook recently switched the default to be OFF.

Would you please try to connect again, making sure to toggle ON the “Manage business” setting?

Thanks,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

I’ve got the plugin connected now, but I still have issues on the Facebook end..

Even though my page is a business page, and I am the admin of this page, when I try and set up my shop tab through Facebook’s commerce manager, I get the following messages for my Facebook pages: “this business manager account can’t be selected because it doesn’t meet our requirements for shops.”

How do I fix this?

Chris

Hey @bootsnbourbon,

Thank you for the update. I’m happy to hear that you were able to successfully connect to your account.

When it comes to setting up the shop itself, I’m afraid you’ll need to reach out to Facebook directly to see if they can share which requirements are not being met. I was able to find this article that might give you some insight:

To reach out to them directly, I would recommend using this help link:

Would you please let me know if this is helpful and if there’s anything else I can help with?

Thanks,
Marcus

Hello Marcus,

Thank you, I have got the Facebook shop setup now.

I do need further help however. Only my merchandise products show up, which are printify products. My affiliate products are not syncing properly. Please can you help with this?

Kind Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply. I’m happy to hear that you are now connected!

For your affiliate products, would you please tell me a little bit more about how they are set up? Are they set as “virtual” products? Can I get you to please tell me which Facebook sync status they are set to in your site?

Thanks,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Do you have a private email address? I can send you temporary login credentials and you can check yourself?

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply. I’d be happy to take a look. I have an email address that is specific to this conversation, so I’ll leave it in a Quickforget link so you can grab it, but that way it won’t remain here for others to jump in on ??

Here is the link to the email address:

Note: I’m going to go ahead and close this topic so we can continue there.

Thanks,
Marcus

Hey Marcus,

I just tried using the link you sent me, but it says “Sorry, I’ve already forgotten that secret,”

Can you send it again please?

Regards,
Chris
