Is there a Bug or other problem with Facebook Page 'invite friends' feature ?
-
Hi
Im trying to use the invite friends feature on Facebook pages to send a page invite to some email contacts, as per #3 in this SME recent post of FB tips: http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/five-lesser-known-facebook-page-features-for-marketers
However whenever i click the 'invite friends' option the dialogue box swirls for a bit then disapears and nothing whatsoever happens, not just not being able to see invite email options but nothing at all happens, the loading box just disapears.
Does anyone know if this is a current know issue bug or other way of doing this so it works ? (I have tried on 3 different pages)
Many Thanks
Dan

I reeeeeally doubt that.
Now, what are you seeing? attach a screenshot
-
thanks again Dmitri but i definately don't see that option. Since i don't do you agree this could be being phased out ?
-
See the screenshot below.
-
Im not seeing it anywhere on that drop down list and have checked a couple of other pages i manage too and its just not there, do you think its being phased out and already has been for some users (also as per the penultimate comment on that SME article thread) ?
-
Oh, that's when you click on that three dots icon, it's right below "invite friends".
-
Good stuff Dimiti
thanks for that !!
All good up until point 5 where i dont see a 'suggest page' option , where do you see that in the list of friends after you click invite friends or somewhere else ?
all best

Ok, I figured it out.
There is a misleading and not full info on the article you linked to.
So, to make it work you gotta:
- log out, log in as yourself;
- on LEFT side column find the business page
- then on cover photo, by "message" click three dots icon
- click "invite friends" if you want to invite friends
- click "suggest page", if you want to use email uploads
Works like a charm

HI Dimitri
yes i have also tried firefox and same issue , the loading box pops up and swirls around a bit (to indicate a dialogue box is about to load) but then just disapears.
I presume if pop ups were not enabled the dialogue box would not even begin to load ?
cheers

Hi.
Have you tried in different browsers? do you have pop-ups enabled?

Facebook won't show up in SERP
Hello! One of my clients' Facebook page isn't showing up on the SERP, even when you search "CLIENT NAME facebook" or an excerpt from a live post. Our social media team looked over all the settings in Meta, and everything looks correct, so we are stumped. Anyone encounter this before?

Can we create regional pages on Facebook?
Hi, Our business spans across many countries and in order to maintain brand consistency, we were contemplating to create regional fan pages on Facebook. The structure would be like parent-child relation i.e. one main page and other regional pages. Is it possible? We searched for it but could't find something concrete except that in 2012 Facebook was testing similar concept. Regards

Why can't anyone check in on my Facebook Page?
Once upon a time, we were able to check in at our office on Facebook. Then, one day, we just...couldn't. I didn't (at least intentionally) change any settings on the page. I can't seem to even find a setting for this. What happened, and how do I fix it? Thank you so much in advance. (Edited to include the Facebook URL) https://www.facebook.com/LegacyTravel
