Page would not load properly and was very challenging to navigate on top of it all. Not “intuitive.”

I’m just starting to use Power Editor. But after ‘downloading’ my page, there is still nothing in the left sidebar and the buttons on top (Create Ad, Refresh List, View Ads) are all greyed out. So it doesn’t seem i can do anything. Any advice?

I was wondering if anyone had any understanding of the Website Clicks optimisation option. I have just promoted an existing post on my page optimising it for website clicks. But I’ve never been asked to include a link to the site that I want recorded, so how will Facebook know if people are clicking to my website?! Thanks in advance.

Hey, I was having this issue and just worked out a way to solve it, maybe it’ll work for you too. I had to Download to Power Editor again which meant that I lost anything that wasn’t already live so make sure you take a record of anything you’ve already uploaded if you want to use it again afterwards. Once I had done that and had wiped the slate clean, I created the campaign again and immediately hit the Upload Changes button. Then did the same with the Ad Sets, and then the Ads. It seemed to work for me, hope it’s helpful.

I’ve downloaded (several times) and still nothing. In the general ‘ads manager’ tab I can see all my campaigns. They are all active and ongoing. But, 2 of them are not showing up at all in Power Editor. Why is that? I created the ad in Power Editor originally too.

Couple of things, Rick. First, Facebook is rolling out an update that merges precise and broad category interests. So you can’t target quite as precisely as you once could. Also, some pages just don’t appear there, and it’s never been clear why (it has little or nothing to do with audience size).

When you create your unpublished post, make sure you leave the Targeting
Options fields empty. Seems to conflict with targeting you set in the
ad. At least that’s how I was able to get around this annoyance.

Karina, I just encountered this issue myself and what you have to do is change the campaign budget from lifetime to daily and it should work.

Then, you can change it back to lifetime from the normal ads editor.

Hope this helps.

I ran a search of it, and it seems to be an API error. Not sure why it would come up in Power Editor, but doesn’t appear to be anything you can do about it from what I can tell.
