I know a lot of people that have had issues with Facebook recently, and not just with their links. Some friends have had photo's and posts disappear from their personal profiles too. Seems like there is some kind of glitch on the system.

I'm relieved Facebook unblocked my site but would love to hear from them to explain why they blocked my site in the first place. Considering the nature of Facebook it's strange that they are so bad at communication.

I'm glad to hear you've not had to go through it with them yet. I'm not sure how much they consider SSL certificates in their valuation of websites but it doesn't hurt to have them anyway.

Thanks for pointing that out. It should be fully active by now. Going to check on the system again and see why it's not showing up.

I activated the SSL certificate but Blogger doesn't support third party certificates and so it didn't update on the system. I've now activated another SSL certificate directly through blogger and so it should update soon.

It's a nightmare when things like this happen. Sorry to hear you got hacked.

Facebook is updating their Pages, Groups and Events Policies to include new terms that may apply to the processing of data for Page Insights within the scope of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the Page Insights Controller Addendum). The Pages, Groups and Events Policies in its updated version will become effective on 28 September and will apply to your ongoing use of Facebook Pages. See https://www.facebook.com/policies/pages_groups_events/. I'm not sure if this was part of the glitch but it's worth knowing about. Hopefully there won't be any more problems.

Thanks. Happy to be back :) It's been a stressful week trying to get this all sorted out but I think my website will be better for it in the long run. At least now I'm 100% sure about my website security systems.

Thanks Shelleen. It was a nightmare, and Facebook have zero customer service for problems like this. They basically only want to hear from you to take your money for ads. I still haven't had a response from them about any of this. I'm not sure I ever will either.

Yeah I guess it's kind of like a test to see if you really have what it takes to be a blogger.

Thanks. It was a nightmare. Glad it's all over now. I wouldn't wish these technical problems on anyone. It's stuff like this that makes a lot of bloggers give up.

Whenever Facebook does any kind of update it causes glitches on the system. Sometimes they're small, sometimes they're bigger. Their latest updates seem to be causing more trouble than past changes. It effecting both business pages and personal profiles. It would be easier to deal with if Facebook improved their customer service and became more user friendly. They offer next to zero assistance when problems occur.

Thanks Tracey. Sorry to hear you've have problems with Facebook suspending you. Luckily I only had my link blocked and could at least use Facebook in the meantime. Glad you managed to get unblocked quickly. Did you manage to ever speak with someone about the problem or did they not response to your messages either and just unblock you? I'm curious to find out if anyone has ever managed to get a response from Facebook.

Thanks Amanda. It wasn't fun. All part of the life of a blogger though I guess. There's always a non-ending learning curve of problems to resolve when you have a blog. Facebook and other social media sites are just one of them. I did learn some things about website security and SSL ceritifcates whilst trying to resolve this issue though so something positive came out of it at least.

Thanks Ayushi. Happy to be back
