Add a Facebook account using the Personal App method.

The App method is the best method for adding a Facebook account. It is safer, more relevant, and works 100% of the time: no errors, no chance of being blocked by Facebook. You can get permission to share posts on your managed groups and own pages. Facebook does not officially allow users to share posts on member groups and accounts using Facebook Apps. Read more about the announcement.

You need to wait for up to 5 days. A random Facebook worker will review it. The worker needs to test it on your website. That is why you need to create a user for the App tester and add the App to your website so that they can test it. If that employee does not have knowledge about plugins or WordPress, he does not review your request properly and declines it. Please try to re-submit the same request again. Eventually, your request will be accepted.
