I know this is not a WordPress issue but wondering if anyone else here may have seen this. I get facebook’s checkpoint error http 500 when I try to log in to Facebook. This issue has caused my wordpress site (Publicize) to no longer work with Facebook. Here’s more people with the similar issue:

It was an issue with the Facebook account. Apparently, lots of people are suffering from it. As it turned out, Facebook is actively disabling the accounts they deem anonymous/impersonal. But the way they were throwing error 500 was not very professional. There was no way to tell why I was getting this error.

Good to know. We can only publish to active accounts, of course. If anyone else has this trouble, please be sure you can log into Facebook.

@ismailimail: FB doesn’t message NOTHING about ban, blocking, abuse or breaking FB rules to use anonymous/impersonal account!!!
Please urgent help !!!
I wrote about this problem more than 20 times to Facebook Help Center !! But there are NO ANY response from them AT ALL !!!!
Why? !!!
Password and email were changed okay several times,
properly sending password change code to my phone,
recognizes the old\new password – well, recognizes my profile too,
The system even Confirmed My Photo identity !!!!
This confirmation is emailed me from their [email redacted], info+####@support.facebook.com twice !!! but from these emails – NO Response TOO!!! …and invites me to log in and welcome by this stupid pops up window: “You must login to continue” always writes in browser field: https://www.facebook.com/checkpoint/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F
…both login and pswd are VALID !!!
:))).
BUT DOESN”T log me in!!

What is it ????!!!

Even there is the recent report that my account is identified, unblocked and restored !!!!!!!!!
Tried to log in from another IP, provider, mobile phone etc -all THE SAME !!!
All the time returns me to this page “You must login to continue” pops up form page and offering me to log me in again and again.

My PC is cleaned from any malware and viruses recently!!

@ithinker2016, I agree. I actually gave up on my Facebook page (of 40K subscribers, and being the number one referrer of WordPress blog). But before giving up, I managed to somehow communicate with their support inbox (which is a bot, not human). The support inbox kept on asking me irrelevant questions no matter what kind of replies I sent. So I gave up altogether and moved on (removed all the references of Facebook from the blog). However, few days later, I realized that I could now login to Facebook (the checkpoint moved past the error screen). Facebook screen asked me to provide real name to the anonymous account, and restored my page.

I can write a whole book on the ills of our dependence on social media in present age (with a lot of cursing of course), but I digress.

If you are able to log into your Facebook account now, head to Sharing, then disconnect and reconnect your Facebook connection.
