Basic Fixes

Note:Before we dive into the fixes, follow the rightmethod to connect the Facebook page to Instagram

Fix 1: Check Admin Rights

To link a Facebook page to Instagram, you need to be theadmin of the Facebook page. If you are an editor or hold any other position, you will not see the page when you try to link Instagram and Facebook. So make sure that you hold the position of the admin.

To check that, open theFacebook page> go to its Settings >Page roles.

Fix 2: Disconnect Instagram Account from Facebook Page

To cross-postcontent from a Facebook page to Instagram, you have to connect them on Facebook. Sometimes, linking the wrong Instagram account poses an issue when you try to link Facebook from Instagram. Whether the connected Instagram account is right or wrong, disconnect it to see if the issue is fixed.

For that, follow these steps from your PC on Facebook’s website.

Step 1:Launch theFacebook website> open theFacebook page> click onSettings.

Step 2: Click onInstagrampresent in the left sidebar. Then, scroll down and selectDisconnect.

Just like you did on Facebook, unlink your Facebook account from the Instagram app.

Step 1:Open yourInstagramprofileand then go to thehamburger menu iconat the top-right corner.

Step 3:Go toAccounts Centreand then tap onAccounts.

Step 3:Tap onRemovenext to yourFacebook account name.

Repeat the above steps to verify that the page is unlinked. Once unlinked, restart your phone and then link them again properly. In case, you are unable to unlink the two, you will have to convert your business profile to personal profile for some time. Then, you need to unlink them. Once unlinked, change to business account again and then link them.

Fix 4: Switch to Personal Account

Another solution that seems to help is to switch back to the personal account from your business account and then link the two. When you switch back, your posts or messages will not be deleted. Only your insight data from the business account will be removed.

OpenInstagram > profile > hamburger menu icon > Switch to Personal Account.

Step 3: Link your Facebook page to Instagram as you do normally.

Step 4:Once the two are connected, switch back to business or professional account by going to Instagram Settings > Accounts.

After connecting, if Instagram still doesn’t post to Facebook,try these fixes.
