Troubleshooting Tips

• If users aren’t able to sign up or use any of the Facebook actions, it’s possible that your Facebook Login app doesn’t have the required permission to access the user’s email address.
  You may quickly ensure that the “email” feature has been granted Standard Access level (minimum) in your Facebook developer app’s App Review > Permissions and Features dashboard. You may find this feature by entering “email” in the filter box.
  
  After requesting access to this feature and ensuring that it’s active, you can then test if you’re able to sign up with Facebook and use any Facebook actions.
