I will make some inquiries and get back to you in a few days. My first inclination is to ask if she’s willing to add herself back in as an admin to keep the page going, allowing you to make changes to it, without giving out her personal password. Outside of that, I’ll ask my good friend and Social Media expert Beth Neibert if she has another solution.

our PTA has a facebook page (fan page) the lady who set the page up has made me an admin and then deleted herself as she is no longer volunteering, but the password is hers I am assuming and I so I don’t know it. but no option comes up to change the password. she will not give me the password as it is her personal password and doesn’t want me to know it. is there anyway around this or do we have to shut down the page??

If you have a wordpress site, here’s how to place an mp3 file on a page, have it start automatically and play one time.

1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to your plugins page and install the “audio player” plugin

2. Use an ftp program and upload your audio file to the root directory of your website, or alternatively, create a folder called “audio” and place your mp3 file in there. (If it’s a WordPress site, the root directory often found in the public_html folder.)

3. From your dashboard, click on “pages” (left hand side) and go to the page where you want the audio file to play automatically.

4. Place this shortcode* into the page:
[audio:http://www.steveswebtoolbox.com/audio/01Bookends.mp3|autostart=yes]

5. In the shortcode replace http://www.stevewebtoolbox.com/audio/01Bookends.mp3 with the correct path to your file, including the filename.

* With this shortcode, your audio file will play one time by default.

6. Navigate to your page and test it out. Here’s the example of how mine works: http://www.steveswebtoolbox.com/audiopage

Also, if you would prefer placing the audio file in the sidebar or on the home page, here are some additional instructions by the creator of the “audio player” plugin: http://wpaudioplayer.com/frequently-asked-questions/

You either have to be friends with them or they have to “like” your page.

Hi Cornelle,
There are two things you can try. Occasionally, Facebook seems to be a little tweakie when we least expect it, but these tips work for me:
1) Clean your browser cache. Unfortunately, even the errors get recorded and it doesn’t always clear no matter how many times we know we’re putting our passwords in correctly.
2) Instead of going to your Fan Page via the link in the upper right corner, try this:
A) Remain using Facebook under your personal name.
B) If you are using the new Facebook timeline, select the “home” link in the upper right corner.
C) Select the Fan Page link that you desire to “add a new admin” on from the left margin under your profile picture.
D) Once on your Fan Page, you’ll see the admins listed in the upper right corner, select “See All”
E) This will open the screen that will allow you to add the new person using their name or email address and you can proceed with Step #8 above.

I hope you find this information helpful; Steve and I would love to have a reply back to let us know it worked. Thank you!

Here’s to your success!
