Unable to publish to facebook, error: "no facebook album assigned to collection"

The album is created in facebook, but I am unable to publish any photos to it. Publishing to already existing albums works just fine. This is lightroom 4.4 on windows 7.

    Still having the same problem today.  It creates the album when you create the collection but then responds that no album is associated with a collection.  I just reported it to Facebook and on the Photoshop forum using the following links if anyone else is still having this issue with LR5 on a MBPr running OS X 10.8...

    And, a repost of the feedback.photoshop.com forum which said the plug-in was working properly (but isn't in my case)

    Having the same issue now!  It was working perfectly well a few days ago and then suddenly got the error.  FRUSTRATING.

    For those getting frustrated by this, check out Jeffrey Friedl's Facebook plugin - it is working fine: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/facebook

    Just re-tried this in Lightroom 4.4 with the standard Adobe Plugin and all worked as expected. I assume there has been a chnage on the Facebook side as I have applied no update to Lightroom.


    Just tried myself. Worked for me too. Had to unauthorize the connection from within Lightroom and reauthorize it. But working fine after that. No updates applied to Lightroom. So has to be something that Facebook seems to have fixed on their end I guess

    +1 :|

    Mac OS 10.8.3, LR 4.4.

    Was working perfectly fine till June 4th. June 5th I didn't post anything. June 6th onwards kapoot! All dates in Indian Standard Time. I am more or less convinced Facebook has broken/changed something on their end. Did they intimate Adobe in advance and Adobe has been sleeping on it, I don't know!!!

    But yes, damned irritating.

    Adobe's complete and total lack of response to the issue IS a bit disconcerting...

    You'd think they'd at least get off their collective behinds and say "we are aware of this issue and actively working on it..."

    Wouldn't you...?

    I guess it's not a workday in India yet...?

    I have the same problem, but I am using Mac OSX 10.8.4. It’s most likely not a OS issue.

    Same here trying to setup Facebook publishing and it will not let me save in the setup window because it says no album created, even though I see it created in facebook but lightroom does not seem to get feedback to confirm it.

    Thanks everyone! I've been driving myself mad trying to get Facebook publish to work again thinking it was because I just migrated lightroom and my catalog to a new PC. It's heartening to find that it's a newly cropped up bug and not something I did migrating. Hopefully they will get this fixed soon, until then I'm going to hide the plugin. I'll tag the bug report.

    One other note: to work around the problem I set up a "facebook" hardrive publishing plugin folder with similar settings and I manually upload from there until this gets fixed.
