# [Plugin: WPBook] Error adding application tab to profile

 * Hi,
 * My facebook application [http://apps.facebook.com/rbwmlibdems](http://apps.facebook.com/rbwmlibdems)
   shows the posts on my blog, [http://rbwm-ld.co.uk](http://rbwm-ld.co.uk), so 
   it seems to be set up OK.
 * However, when I click the “Add Profile Tab” button it says “An error occurred
   while trying to add the application to your profile. Please try again later.”.
 * I have `?app_tab=true&fb_force_mode=fbml` entered in the “Tab URL” setting of
   the application.
 * Also I can visit [http://apps.facebook.com/rbwmlibdems/?app_tab=true&fb_force_mode=fbml](http://apps.facebook.com/rbwmlibdems/?app_tab=true&fb_force_mode=fbml)
   and the posts are shown.
 * Any ideas to get this working? Thanks!

 * I’ve just noticed that the tab has been added fine to the [Application Profile Page](http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=151995291509309&v=app_151995291509309#!/apps/application.php?id=151995291509309&v=wall),
   but is still not working with my profile.
 * Does this mean it’s a facebook issue?

 * There is no option in the application settings at facebook for [profile tabs]
   where i can set _installable to “users” or “facebook pages”_. It seems it’s a
   facebook issue or not allowed from facebook.

 * I did notice that too – the “Application Settings->Facebook Integration->Page
   Tabs->Installable to” options are not there. Could this be the crux of the matter?

 * it looks as though your blog is linked to your facebook page?
 * I’m still receiving the error “An error occurred while trying to add the application
   to your profile. Please try again later.”
 * How did you resolve this?
 * Kind regards

 * No unfortunately nothing has been resolved 🙁 The tab appears (it would seem 
   automatically) on the application page, but will not add to my profile page with
   the same error you are getting.
 * If I find a solution I will be sure to post it here, but sadly that it looking
   very unlikely at the minute.

 * My link has now started working now, i haven’t changed anything and is now showing
   on the tab for the page.
 * Maybe facebook takes a little while to update…

   Still not working, after 4+ days.
 * These are my settings, I can’t see that I’ve missed anything but maybe someone
   else can.

 * Update – whilst still not being able to add the tab to my profile page, it added
   to one of my pages without a problem. Now just to get publishing to the wall 
   working…!

   says “An error occurred while trying to add the application to your profile. 
   Please try again later.”. I have added “?app_tab=true&fb_force_mode=fbml” in 
   Tab URL. Tab doesn’t show up in application profile also. Please somebody help…:)

 * This is a Facebook issue – they’ve removed the option for Applications to add
   tabs to user profiles.
 * You can still add a tab to a Fan Page, or an Application Page – but not to an
   individual’s user profile.
 * See [this announcement](http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/402) from August
   19th:
 * > Finally, due to low usage rates, we will remove application tabs from user 
   > profiles in the next couple months. Application tabs will continue to be supported
   > on Facebook Pages.

 * Don’t forget to remove “Enable Add to Profile Button (for Tab):” from 2.0.10 
   🙂
