So I'm running my parents business's facebook page. Have recently learnt that people visiting the page can't message. I've look everywhere online and it says to go into general in the settings and turn on "Allow people to contact my Page privately by showing the Message button". I had a look and my page doesn't have that option. 


 


I went ahead and created a new random business page on facebook and looked under setting and it did have that option to turn it off and on.


 


As you can see on the screenshot below there is no option to turn on messaging for my page. As the page already had followers and posts on it I dont want to delete it and create a new one. Please help me!

How are you logged into the pages manager application?

 

As yourself or as the original admin?

What happens if you click that third-down settings category on the left? "Messaging"

 

Also if that doesn't work, try adding this to the end of the URL on your Settings screen:

 

?tab=settings&ref=page_edit&section=messages

It says that I have admin access on the page. The page was unofficial on facebook till I claimed it and is attached to my personal facebook account. For me to access the facebook page and pages manager application, I have to log into my personal facebook account.

 


Been reading to some facebook business page tools and they all say "ALL" pages should have the private messaging option in the general settings.

 

The Messaging tab on the left hand side only allows me to edit automatic replies and greetings etc, there is no option to turn off or on messaging.
