# Persistent Authorize error after previous install

 * First time around I got the plugin Authorized successfully
 * But I made a mistake and removed the rights (group access member info, user events)
   it was asking for during the OAuth flow.
 * I’ve recreated my Facebook app as well as uninstalled (while removing settings)
   the Import Facebook Events plugin.
 * **Now there’s a persistent error being shown in WordPress: **
 * _“The Access Token has been invalidated because the user changed their password
   or Facebook has changed the session for security reasons. Can you please Authorize/
   Reauthorize your Facebook account from Facebook Import > Settings.” _
 * **When I try and reauthorize the plugin it shows the following error: **
 * _“Invalid Scopes: groups\_access\_member\_info, user\_events. This message is
   only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if 
   present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions&#8221](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions&#8221);_
 * I’ve looked around the database to see if the plugin left behind an access token
   but haven’t found one. Any help appreciated.

 * After some more reading, I found this solution which seems to have helped.
 * So is it recommended to leave the Facebook app in development mode and things
   will work as expected?

 * I’ve checked that there are no age or country restrictions on my event. Though
   on Event ID import I receive the following:
 * _“We are not able to access Facebook event: <event ID>. Possible reasons: – App
   Credentials are wrong – Facebook event is not public or some restrictions are
   there like age,country etc.”_

 * OK just to close the loop I remembered that the event page owner has to indicate
   they’re “Interested” or “Going”.
 * Things are working as expected, thank you.
