Upgrade to 7.2.6 has broken my channels...and I can;t get them back

Giels,
Even with the changes Facebook has made recently, the manage_pages permission can still be granted if:
1) You've gone through the review process previously. Most JFBConnect users do *not* go through the review process though for this permission
- or -
2) The Facebook Page is owned/admin'd by the same Facebook user that is an admin of your Web App

#2 works because admins of your App can be asked any permission without going through review first. JFBConnect takes advantage of that so when you're setting up a page, we can request the manage_pages permission as long as you're using the app admin *and* that app admin is also the owner of the FB Page.

So, getting the permission should work. What I'd recommend is:
* In the Channel configuration, make sure the user is set correctly.
** If it's set correctly, click the "Select User" button and find the same user again. I know that sounds dumb, but do it anyways.
** Click Save again
If you're still getting the manage_pages permission warning:
* In the JFBConnect Configuration area, set "Show 'login credentials' in popup" to No
* On the front-end, log out (if logged in)
* Login with Facebook for the Channel/Page/App owner
* You should get prompted for the manage_pages permission here

I hope that helps, but if not, please let us know. Very little of the changes in 7.2.6 involved the Channels feature, so we should be able to help get you going soon once we narrow down the above.

Thanks,
Alex

You can try to restore from backup, but I don't think that will fix things. If it doesn't hurt to do it (you won't lose anything, and it's easy to do), go for it.

The App Domains field thing could be part of the problem though. To fix that, please go into the Facebook Developer Area :
* Click into your app
* In the Facebook Login -> Settings area, check your "Valid OAuth Redirect URIs" setting. This should be setup by Autotune automatically, but we've seen some reports where it's not. In that area, make sure you have all variations of your domain (http, https, www and non-www) along with the following for each one:
index.php?option=com_jfbconnect&task=authenticate.callback&provider=facebook

Thanks,
Alex

For the manage_pages permission, there won't be a login popup like you may see normally. You'll be redirected into facebook.com and the popup will be in there. After accepting, you'll be brought back to your site.

Easy next step: Logout of Facebook.com and then re-authenticate on your site.

Harder next step:
* Go to the Facebook Explorer debug page: developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
* Make sure you're logged in with the right Facebook user for Page/App
* In "Application" drop-down, select the app for your website
* Click the "Get Token" button and then "Get User Access Token" in the drop-down
* In the middle section, make sure the "Manage Pages" permission is checked.
* Hit "Get Access Token"

Then, logout on your site and re-authenticate again. At this point, you should absolutely have the manage_pages permission.. if it's still reporting it's missing though, let us know and we'll keep digging in.

Thanks,
Alex

When you do that, if you are the admin of the app, you should see a flow like below:

The first prompt does note that some permissions haven't gone through review. However, since you're the admin, you should still be able to say "Continue as.. " and get to the 2nd prompt.

Can you show me the permissions box you're asking and the flow you're seeing if it's different? As in, if you click "Continue.." does that automatically bring you to the review process, or are you going there by clicking the link in the red box? If you click "Continue..." what happens?
