Answer 1

Refer this link

You may need to enable the 'explicity shared' setting for the open graph action in the Facebook Developer App Dashboard in the website.

Answer 2

First at all you need to get approval for every item of your open graph story. You can test your application without approval un-publishing it and adding some user as testers in the Role settings.

Now, to see your open graph activity in your timeline after publish you should configure the Additional Capabilities for you action type. So you need to check the Explicitly Shared option in the Capabilities section for you action. After that you need to include the parameter fb:explicitly_shared=true in the open graph call.

You can take a look to the Additional Capabilities here : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/opengraph/using-actions#capabilities

Explicit shared should be added in the post parameters.

Answer 3

I had the same issue, I could post the stories but could not see it on the timeline, issue was FBDisplayName in the app has to be same as the one configured in the FB developer console.

Answer 4

I could totally be wrong, but you may need to submit your Open Graph action to Facebook for approval. And you'll need to set explicit sharing if you want your action to show in places other than your own timeline and activity.

I say I could be wrong because you should at least be able to see your action within your activity log. It's difficult to say without looking more closely at your Open Graph Action and Object.

Answer 5

You need to add "fb:explicitly_shared" action parameter with value 'true' while posting it.

Also you need to toggle explicitly_shared in Actions' properties configuration page.

You need to be an administer of the app otherwise you will need to get the Stories approved by Facebook. Hope this could help.

I am having a related problem (I think). Let me first say that I use our own Action Types and Stories (i.e. https://graph.facebook.com/me/:).

What I noticed is that while the action does not appear on my wall, it shows up on my friends' News Feed (so even if I can't see it, they can "like" and "comment" on it), and also putting it's ID on the Open Graph Action Debugger tool, I can see the post's details.

BUT, what I also noticed is that it shows up in my activity log! (button on the right-bottom position of your cover image) Then, if you go to each activity entry, there is a small icon on the right with a pencil on it. Clicking on it, it shows that this means that the activity/action/post/whatever is "allowed" on your timeline. But, if you change that to Show to Timeline, it will actually be shown!

So, I think this is where you/we should look further (for example a setting/permission request to enable this by default -- not sure if anything like that exists though).
