Needs More Info

P:Facebook publish plugin no longer authorises or retrieves albums or update published collections

LR 4.4, OS X 10.8.4
After the infamous facebook Tuesday night update the Facebook publish plugin no longer works.

LR will not display a fb album list, cannot create albums or publish new photos to existing albums. Editing Collection settings will no longer authorise and returns error "Can't save changes: Authorizing"

Sometimes states error "Cannot retrieve facebook album list", plugin also fails and needs reloading, diagnostics file contains :

Plug-in error log for plug-in at: /Other App Links/Imaging/Adobe Apps/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.app/Contents/PlugIns/Facebook.lrplugin

**** Error 1

An error occurred while attempting to load this plug-in’s portion of the Export dialog.
?:0: attempt to index upvalue '?' (a nil value)

I have reloaded an earlier backup of the plugin to make sure it was not corrupted.

Several users have posted about this error on the Adobe community forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/lig...

Removing authorisation and plugin from fb does and reauthorising does not resolve this problem!

Tested also in LR Beta 5, same problem!!!

    I am having the same issue. Lightroom says no album is connected when it was previously working fine. It was, however, creating empty albums on Facebook. FB and LR are not talking to each other. Very frustrating. I have spent a couple hours trying to disable, re-enable, etc. I give up and impatiently await someone's resolution.

    Same issue here - Just upgraded to 4.4 and initially had the CryptUnprotectData Error using Facebook Plug-in. Managed to resolved this via editing the preferences file, but now cannot select an album in Lightroom. New Albums are created in Facebook when I hit the "create new Album" button in Lightroom, but I still can't select and album or save changes to my setup.

    I have tried removing the Lightroom app from my Facebook, and re-authorising,which all seems to go OK, but still no luck on selecting an album to be able to upload any images.

    Same here, I'm guessing something changed in the Facebook API and it's no longer compatible with LightRoom's plugin. Hope this gets fixed soon as I use the Facebook export all the time.

    Having the same problem can't even get the facebook publishing service setup as it will not create a album, although I see the newly created album in Facebook Lightroom gets no info back to say it was created.
