   try again, if you are still having troulbes please contact us on our Support 
   Forum. Make sure to include screenshots of the browser page that may come up 
   with any errors. Support Forum”

 * Hi [@cassyput](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cassyput/),
 *  Be sure you are running the latest version of Feed The Social (currently 2.8.2).
   Also, most important, (for Facebook) you need to have Admin Privileges for each
   page and be logged in at the time you are generating each shortcode. Facebook’s
   current API / Privacy Policy also requires that it be a public, Business Page
   and no longer grants access for personal or group profiles or for Event posts.
 * There did appear to be a FB hiccup for some folks a week or so ago. Once the 
   above criteria is met, follow these steps:
 * Go to the Settings > Business Integrations tab of your Facebook account and check
   the Remove button for SlickRemix. Be sure to remain logged into your Facebook
   account. Return to your WordPress dashboard, to Feed Them > Facebook Options 
   and click the Facebook button to generate an Access Token. Even if you receive
   an error message here, scroll down and click the green ‘Save All Changes’ button.
   Then proceed to the Feed Them > Settings page to generate a shortcode. Once the
   shortcode is applied, you may need to clear the FTS cache, and maybe even to 
   refresh your browser.
 * As for Pinterest, as of this writing, we anticipate our Pinterest feeds to be
   restored very soon. We are just awaiting approval on a new app we submitted in
   response to abrupt changes made by Pinterest. Again, hopefully the Pinterest 
   feeds & pins will be back up shortly.
