I need to suspend facebook page for the day due to political comment. I cannot find anyway to do this. I can suspend Facebook Pages no problem but not my main account. The help page says Goto newsfeed select settings, general and then you will see option to make page invisible etc. I never see that option on my account but do see it on separate pages I have created.

 

In the end I deactivated my account and will reactivate it tonight when polls close. But that seems a sledhehammer to solve a problem which suspend account would do if I could access such a feature. Any ideas?

It's been a while since I've used it or looked at settings.

Is there still an 'Allow posts on my wall' setting?

Why would you need to suspend it?

Even though people have been early voting for a couple of weeks all political advertising etc has to come down before election day.

You could unpublish the page and then publish again later.

That is my problem, I cannot unpublish my main facebook account. I follow the instructions eg below but when I get to page Settings/General there is no page visability.

 

I have done this at other elections and I wonder if its the new Facebook that has changed things.

 

I have several other pages that I am admin of and I can unpublish those but not my main account page. In the end I deactivated the whole page but that will destroy a lot of posts on other peoples page

 

 

     

  1. From your News Feed, click Pages in the left menu.
  2. Go to your Page and click Page Settings in the bottom left.
  3. From General, click Page Visibility.
  4. Click to select Page unpublished.
  5. Click Save Changes.
  6. Share your reason for unpublishing this Page.
  7. Click Next > Unpublish.
