Unable to connect to Instagram

[sheri.ellis@dragonsightpublishing.com]

Hi Support! My Instagram-Blog2Social account used to work but stopped working on 6/26/21 for some reason. Now when I try to reconnect the profile, I just get your message: "Instagram does no longer support social media tools for Instagram Personal (Profile) accounts, just for Instagram Business accounts. To use Blog2Social for Instagram you can easily convert your personal profile account into a business account (see all advantages and learn how to convert your personal Instagram Profile into a Business account)."

I've verified my Instagram is a business account, even went through the wizard again to make sure:


Your troubleshooting tool reveals nothing wrong:

Please help! Thanks

I'm having the same issue. I've gone through the process step by step but when I get to the point where I'm supposed to click on the "Business" button, the button does not show for me to click on. My account is set to Business and connected to Facebook.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out.

@sheri.ellis:
I noticed that you are using Blog2Social version 6.6.4.

@mmaskervtv2019:
May I ask you which version of Blog2Social you are currently using?


Please be so kind as to update to the latest version 6.7.2.
Now you should see the “+Business” button in your Blog2Social network overview. I attached a screenshot for you.

In addition, the following guides show you exactly:
How do I connect Blog2Social with my Instagram Business Account?

How to convert your Personal Instagram Profile into a Business Account

How to connect your Instagram Business Account with your Facebook page


Please let me know if it works for you afterwards or if you have further questions.

Best regards

Benedikt

Hello,

Thank you so much for reaching out and thanks for describing your request.

In order to connect multiple Instagram Business Accounts with Blog2Social, it is helpful to ensure that each Instagram account is connected to an individual Facebook profile and that a Facebook page is attached to each of them, which is linked to the respective Instagram Business Account.

Connecting multiple Instagram Business Accounts with Facebook pages that are managed by different Facebook profiles allows you to connect multiple Instagram business accounts in parallel, depending on your license.

After you have checked and configured these two requirements for every of your Instagram Business accounts, you can now connect your Instagram business account with Blog2Social.
Please be so kind as to test this constellation and let me know afterward if this solution solved your request or if you require further assistance regarding this matter.

Thank you for your understanding.
I am looking forward to your reply.

Best regards
Alexander

I have done all this and it's not working.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and thanks for this feedback.

Regarding your Instagram request:
As I already explained, this resetting process is something that can only be performed by yourself.

Please note that no general issue within Blog2Social could be reproduced in relation to add Instagram Business account. Blog2Social works with the official Facebook API and is an official Facebook business partner.

Please also note that there is no option to configure anything else within Blog2Social in order to setup or fix a linked Facebook/Instagram account connection, except for the reauthorization.

Since the connection seems to be having issues, I would recommend trying the mentioned step once again:
7. Reset your Instagram settings

These steps are explained in detail at The following step-by-step guide. It will show you how to solve all common issues that can occur while connecting and posting to Instagram:
Connecting Instagram - Things to check

Furthermore, in rare cases, there might be a Facebook API error with your account.
In that case, you can file a bug report with Facebook and point out a bug on Facebook's part.

If you tried these steps beforehand and the issue is still unsolved, you can get in touch with Facebook at:

Please be so kind as to retest the mentioned reset step or reach out to the Facebook support at any time as recommended if the described behavior keeps occurring while sharing content on Instagram.

Thank you for your understanding.
I am looking forward to your reply.
