share_item extended permission

Question

With Graph API 2.0, things get quite a bit more complicated for developers.

I have a WordPress plugin which automatically posts update to my Facebook Pages when a new post is published. Every WordPress site uses a different Facebook App to communicate with Facebook's API in publishing posts to their respective Facebook Pages.

Older apps that has been setup already have all the permissions required setup and authenticated so they all work fine.

The newer one that I'm about to setup is different because publishing require approval before I can request that particular permission I want.

I already got my app approved with publish_actions and manage_pages permission. Unfortunately, the plugin doesn't work and this error is thrown by Facebook.

(#100) Required extended permission: share_item

There isn't any share_item permission listed for me to submit for approval. What can I do to fix this problem?

New Graph API 2.0 Documentation doesn't mention anything about share_item either.

Answer 1

Sounds like a bug. Either the error message is wrong or you should be able to submit share_item for review.

Please see if a bug have been reported at https://developers.facebook.com/bugs and if it doesn't please file one.

Update: After looking into it it seems that the error message is wrong. As long as you have publish_actions you are fine.
