Urgent help as Facebook will not respond (7 posts)

  • Hi AllHappy New Year firstly!I have a client who I set up their Facebook business page with several admins however as this client has a board of directors they, against all my advice and explaining the loss of functionality etc, have decided they wish all admins to be deleted and a business only sign in to be created.   Does anyone know how I can do this for them? 

  • @sharoncomrie I believe, that you know how to delete the page :) To create a page with a business login, just log off Facebook and go to this page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php. You will need an email address not related to any Facebook user profile.

  • Milan –  but can you change an already vibrant page into a business only page with no admins – taking all admins off or do I have to create a business page and then ask for a merge?

  • To get around this can you not simply create a new profile just to be used for the page, then make that admin and remove the others?

  • You can’t convert it to a business only Page, @sharoncomrie once it’s been started as a page attached to profiles.  

    I actually discourage having Business only pages for the reason’s outlined in point #8 of this post:  http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/integrating-your-facebook-page-with-your-facebook-profile/

    But if they truly do want everyone disconnected, then they can create a “fake profile” with a name  as @pacey suggested.  But it will have to most likely be attached to some cell phone when you set it up (Facebook has been requiring that more and more).  Then have that fake profile as the admin and have one login for that fake profile.  
    But the problem with this is that fake profiles are technically against the terms of Facebook.  And it’s getting harder to set them up because you sometimes are asked to tie it to a cell phone (which also means that cell phone can’t be tied to another profile).  
    Hope that helps!  

  • @andrea-vahl  Thanks for the 9 Tips for Integrating Your FB PagCan you tell me why only some of the FB Pages I manage show up on the “Use Facebook As:”?  They all show up on the left column under Pages.

    Thanks!

  • I have problems with that every once in awhile @stevecurran too.  Sometimes there is a little scroll bar that you can scroll down and then see them all.  Sometimes it doesn’t show them no matter what I do.  Usually what I end up doing is navigating to the Page either with the left sidebar or just going to the Page directly and then switching it in the Admin if I need to be acting as the Page.  It’s a little frustrating that it’s hit and miss that they show up on the menu.
