The app ID specified within the "fb:app_id" meta tag was invalid


I tried to enable Facebook Insights for my web. I added my page's APP_ID to fb:admins to enable every admin of my page to access Insights when logged into Facebook as Page. But when I try to save the dialog message appears:

The app ID "123,123,123,123,123" specified within the "fb:app_id" meta tag was invalid.

I double checked my app ID and it's correct.


Solution

  • Only personal IDs are allowed in the fb:admins meta tag. Application IDs won't work, even though they are actually valid (in contrary to what the error message says).

    Optionally, it may also work with page_id:

    <meta property="fb:page_id" content="395450240451647" />
    

    The suggested app_iddidn't work at all :(
