If you have recently migrated your Facebook page and now have two business pages, or if you have created more than one page for your business in the past the good news is you can merge Facebook pages together.

You can merge up to five Facebook pages into one identity but they must all have exactly the same name, or very similar names. Once you have applied to merge pages you may need to wait a few days for it to happen. Facebook will keep you informed and let you know if your request has been approved. Here’s how to send your request:

I’m sure everyone has gotten one of those spammy messages from a friend on Twitter. They usually say something like ‘OMG I can’t believe what they’re saying about you’ followed by a link. If you didn’t realise in time that it was spam and clicked the link your account will start sending out spam too. How do you get rid of a Twitter virus?

Lots of people have clicked these kinda links in the past, even famous tweeters so don’t panic here’s a quick video to show you how stop the messages going out and get rid of the app that is causing them.

When you set up a pure business account via Facebook, or when you migrate a profile page to a Facebook business page you will notice that there is no search bar at the top of the page, you will also notice that you are unable to Like other business pages or comment on their posts. This can be frustrating but it’s easy to fix.

By adding an admin and accessing the page via the admin you will be able to get full functionality, the search bar will re-appear and you can Like and comment on pages. Watch the video to see how to add an admin.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve shown you how to schedule posts on Facebook and how to find and edit the times of posting those posts once they are scheduled.

If you don’t see the Facebook scheduling option when you compose a post on your page it may be because you have the ‘voice’ of your page set incorrectly. As well as meaning that you can’t schedule posts it also means that anything that you do post on your page will not be seen by the people who Like your page on their newsfeed as it won’t appear to be posted by the page. Your friends will see the posts but unless they visit your page no one else will.

This weeks short video shows you how to change voice and enabling scheduling.

Have you had any problems with Facebook features? Let me know in the comments and I’ll try to resolve them for you.
