Publishing Manager in Lightroom 6 Not Working for Facebook

There seems to be a problem with Publishing Manager in Lightroom 6. I'm trying to authorize Lightroom 6 on Facebook, but when I click "Authorize on Facebook" button and press "Ok" on the subsequent pop-up, nothing happens. I've tried updating my Lightroom 6 to the latest version (6.14) but this doesn't seem to solve the problem. Can some assist with this issue?

I am having the same problem here. Changing the browser does not do anything.


Facebook no longer allows third-party desktop apps like LR to upload photos directly: Facebook authentication check failed . It's unclear whether they will change this policy in the future.

I am having the same problem in both Lightroom and Lightroom CC.  If I click on share to Facebook, it gives the warning box stating I need to go to Facebook.com and follow the directions there and when I click OK it closes the box and nothing else happens.  How can this be resolved?

Thank you!!

Hi All,

Sorry that you're having problems while authorizing Facebook in Lightroom CC.

The problem related to sharing/authorizing an image with Facebook and is being worked upon. Please add your vote to the discussion below so that our Engineers can look into it:

Did All, did this ever get resolved?

I am having the exact same issue and pretty eager to get resolved and kind find a resolution anywhere for it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi marcinoy78,

Sorry that you cannot authorize Lightroom 6.14 on Facebook while using  the publishing manager.

Could you please take a look at this article Errors using Publish Services in Lightroom and let us know if that helps?

Thanks,

Akash

Akash,

I'm afraid this doesn't help.  I've attempted all of these solutions, with the exception of #5, and none of them appear to work.  In fact, this whole problem started with solution 1, which says to Remove Authorization, which I did.  When I try clicking "Authorize on Facebook", I do get the pop-up that says "You must authorize Lightroom to access your Facebook account." but when I click "Ok" nothing else happens.  I do not get anything from Facebook (as depicted below) that says "Connect".  Literally, nothing happens.

Additionally, the Lightroom app in Facebook no longer appears to be there.

    I'm having the same issue.  Authorization window does not come up.
