I  read an article on MSN news and I want to share it on FaceBook. I get this error message and I have no idea what it means. I have shared from MSN for years and now get this:

App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permission.

Now how do I resolve this?

Thank you.

Your computer has been restarted since the problem began?

I just shared an article with Edge, Chrome and Firefox, so the problem isn't affecting everyone.

Try clearing the Chrome cache. [Ctrl+Alt+Del] > clear cached images and files.

If you're running an ad blocker, try disabling it.

If running third-party antivirus or other security program(s) see if disabling them affects the situation.

    I am guessing that some of these news outlets want people to subscribe to their site, then they will let you FB. Just a guess. Thanks for you help. It has been appreciated. Dan

    Haha. No, I do not get paid for trying to help and yes, I do believe the people commenting are just regular people trying to be helpful too. Except Don. I think he may be someone from MS repeating the same instructions that don't work...

    That's all I have for you! When I right click on the original post, then open in a new tab, it takes me to their home page where I can find the post I want to share with being able to look at all the other articles on their page too. It is not the best, I agree, but it is the only thing I know to do at this point. Have a good day!
