Facebook Export not actually exporting

Hello everyone!
First off I must say that I really enjoy the phoca gallery software. It is very clean and simple, and easy to configure. I have it running on 3 sites now. One of the best features I feel is being able to import and export images from Facebook, this saves a lot of time!
But that being said, I am having an issue with exporting to Facebook. I created the Facebook users and Fanapage user as the tutorial here explained, and I can import Facebook albums into Phoca without issue. When I go to export a Phoca gallery album to Facebook, Phoca goes though the motions of exporting the images, and then returns me to the category page with the message at the top:
"Extporting of images to Facebook finished (Images exported or there there are no images in this category to export. Check Facebook album in your Facebook account)"
However when I check my Facebook page, the images simply are not there. I've tried this repeatedly with different albums from phoca to Facebook, but the images never show up in Facebook.
I'm running Joomla 2.517 and phoca 3.2.3
Any help on this would be much, much, appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, did you check that the album includes images (images on the server, not facebook, nor picasa images)

The album Ive been testing with has about seven images in it that I uploaded from the phoca back end. When I 'export to Facebook' phoca goes through a dialog similar to the thumbnail generation messages, displaying each image file name and a loading bar, and one by one 'exports' each image. But nothing happens on Facebook.

Hi, tested many times, without any problem:

When you enable debug mode and php error reporting, do you get some error while exporting?

Thanks for the reply.
I don't get any errors while exporting with PHP error reporting to 'Maximum" and debug mode enabled. I do however, have this in the error tab on the category page itself. I admit I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination, so I don't know what any of it really means, or if it is relevent.
Code: Select all
The database row is empty.

Hi, no idea what this can mean, try to check if the table #__phocagallery_categories exists in your database?

Yes, I have j25_phocagallery_categories in the database, with 6 rows (each of the six current categories in phoca gallery)

Ok, out of desperation I created a new Facebook app and phoca accounts to see if it might be the cause. When trying to export with the new settings, I got the API error. I read about that earlier on here, so I updated phoca to 3.2.6 and tested it again, an now it works!
Thanks!
