1. Via Facebook, where I have an account, I am trying to post a comment on an editorial in the Cinti. Enquirer (cincinnati.com). Neither Facebook nor Cincinnati.com provide directions on how to do this. I am obviously an amateur on FB so there must be some obvious way I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   • Hey Sam,

     It looks like cincinnati.com uses a Facebook application called Facebook Comments. To leave a comment, all you’ll have to do is sign into your Facebook account before you comment on an article on cincinnati.com. When you leave a comment, your update will appear on the article and in Facebook at the same time. This system is good for publishers because it generates more article impressions each time someone interacts with it on Facebook or the website.

   • I can type a message but, when I go to send it and press enter because that is the only option and yes I have tried both enter buttons, restarting my computer and refreshing the page, but still when I press the enter button it deletes my comment rather than posting it. Thank you, Tawny Ellis

     • Im having the same issue as some of the other people here, cant comment on posts, like posts and cant download pics either. Wont let me change my profile pic unless I use one from before……… WTH is goin on here??????????

2. Doug,

   I need your help. For some reason, when I view Facebook pages that are classified as “places”, I no longer have the option of creating an original post on those pages. No “box” is present on the left hand side of the wall that allows me the ability to share an idea/link/video/picture. However, I can comment on existing posts and like them. Any idea what I can do to correct this? It is something in my settings? I appreciate any and all help you can provide. Thanks!

   • Hi Phillip,

     That is odd. I haven’t seen this issue yet, but if you send me a link for the page to my Twitter, I’d be more than happy to check it out. Without seeing the issue, I’m wondering if your administrative access has been revoked on those pages. Also, we recently had an issue with one of our client pages where the page was recategorized from a business page to a fan page. We had to contact Facebook and ask them to make the switch back to a business page.

     Let me know if that helps,

3. Hi Doug! I am no longer able to post on any pages I have “liked”. The “Post/Photo/Video” box does not show up on any of these pages for me. However, my husband has “liked” the same pages & the “Post/Photo/Video” box shows up on his end. I have sent an email to FB about it already but not sure if I will receive a response anytime soon (if at all). Do you know of a fix for this?

   • I am having the same problem and looking for an answer.

4. I woke up thismorning to find i cant comment on any status but i can on pics and posts??

5. When I log into FB as my PAGE I can’t Comment or Like anything on the entire web, whether within FB or on sites outside of it.

   If I log into FB as my PROFILE I can do all those things.

   Is this normal behavior? I want to add FB commenting to my website, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to reply to any comments!!!!!!

   Thanks for any insights…

   • Hey Emily,

     Facebook tries to keep a strong separation between pages and profiles. Basically, pages can only comment on other pages within Facebook. To answer your question about installing Facebook commenting on your blog, Facebook allows you to moderate the commenting with your personal profile. You’ll have the power to block bad words and inappropriate users, but if you need to respond to a question you could comment as your personal profile.

     Another option might be to respond to a comment by posting a new update on your Facebook page wall. Let me know if that helps.

     For more info on the Facebook comments app: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/

     • hi Doug, I can’t seem to update my status or write anything on other friends timeline. Please Help

    • oh heres another issue. I cant even reset my password. It gives me an error as well. I cant even like a FB page made by FB itself

      • Andrew,

        I was poking around on the Facebook FAQ and they said you might have luck if you try resetting your password on another browser: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=227179210632543. Let me know if that helps.

13. Hi Doug,

    So for the past day, i havent been able to like, comment, post or change anything on my facebook page, ive even tryed deactivating my account but it says the password i used is incorrect, when i used the same password to log in with? this is really bugging me as i use facebook for alot of promotional use, and being that i cant post anything, makes that useless for me.

    Please help! Brad.

14. I still can’t like and comment even my own posts .. it pased half month .. what to do ?!

    • Bummer. It sounds like a tricky, one-off problem. Assuming you’ve tried my advice in the blog post, you might want to look at the privacy settings to see if you’ve blocked the ability to interact with anyone. Otherwise, you might consider creating a new account. Let me know if that helps.

15. I started a new group but I cannot post any pics to it and members cannot like, subscribe or post to it?

16. Hey Doug,
    I checked and doubled checked everything mentioned above and I am still unable to comment on/like any posts including my own status updates. I have no idea wtf is going on so if you could shed some light on my dilemma it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

17. I can like and post comments on everything. Except now while three days ago I could like and post on a certain page I haven’t been able to since then. Are they able to block me? It’s a political page that I had no trouble with before.

18. Ok, so I can like all I want on posts, but I can’t comment, but I can like and comment on my friends posts, it’s only problems with page posts
    It said that I had posted an offensive comment but I don’t post many bad comments, and I don’t offend people, not to mention, as I said before, I can comment on my friends posts.
    I’m so confused, so if you can help me, please email me for a sollution

19. Facebook has this feature that filters you from spamming or commenting multiple on a thread, but I’m not sure how to really explain it. I’ve experience this kind of situation where we made the comment box as a chat box and receive a note that prohibits me from commenting. Anyways thanks for sharing this wonderful post!!

20. Hello Doug! :)

    I can’t put likes or comments in my FB page since yesterday. As you wrote before I think the problem was because I put many likes in some friend photos.
    But, In addition all the comments and likes that I left to my friends as reply in my page since Tuesday simply disappear.
    I was hacked or this could happen too?

    Thanks in advance.
    Diana

21. I cant seem to see anyones comments or comment on things myself as well as message accept or decline inv or like anything on face book its as if something happened to my account. i was just wondering if there was a bug or if i did something wrong.

22. I can’t post a comment and also I can’t do liking.

23. Hi, I can’t like or comment on anything on Facebook. Also, I cannot see likes or comments on any page or post on the website. This is not just my profile because when my friend logged on to her Facebook account on my laptop, she had the exact problems.
    Please inform me if you have any information on my issue.
    Thank you.
