How To Find Missing Social Media Pages Or Stop My Pages From Disconnecting

If you are missing pages or if they keep getting disconnected, this is most likely being caused by not clicking Select All when prompted to do so by Facebook. When select all is not chosen while adding your social media accounts, any pages not selected will have their access revoked by Facebook. This will cause them to disconnect and you will not be able to find them when you go to add in new pages.

The good news is this is easy to fix!

Step 1 Click into your brand settings by selecting the gear icon in the upper left hand side of your screen. From here, you will click on the Linked Accounts tab and then Add New and lastly, Instagram.

|| Even if it is a Facebook page which is being disconnected or is missing, you will reset the permissions by going through Instagram.

**Step 2 ** After the redirect screen (that you didn't read or we wouldn't be in this position in the first place 👀) goes away you, click on Edit Settings

The next screen will prompt you to select the accounts you want Cloud Campaign to access. This is where you click Select All

Question 5

What is an RSS Feed?

Accepted Answer

An RSS feed is a computer parsable representation of a website or blog. In other words, the formatting is stripped from a website and just the meat of it is written to a feed. This makes it easier for computers to make sense of rich data to do things such as recommend news articles or create new content items for you.

How Do I Find My RSS Feed

Medium Prepend 'feed' to your favorite author's Medium username in the URL. For example:

https://medium.com/feed/@rborn92 Or if you want to get the feed for a publication such as Hacker Noon, append 'feed' to their domain:

https://hackernoon.com/feed

Wordpress Similarly, append 'feed' to blogs with custom domain names:

https://blog.cloudcampaign.io/feed

Squarespace ****Open the Squarespace page you want the feed for and append '?format=rss' or manually enter the page slug:

http://sitename.squarespace.com/pageslug?format=rss

YouTube ****Visit your YouTube channel and copy the Channel ID from the URL.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEJDM8c2lVEu1ItPSWeaL3A

Paste the channel ID into this link:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channelid=[CHANNELID]

Tumblr Append '/rss' to the Tumblr page you want to generate an RSS feed for.

http://exampleblogname.tumblr.com/rss

Blogspot / Blogger ****Append '/default?alt=rss' to any Blogspot post feed.

https://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Weebly ****Append '/1/feed' to your Weebly site:
