Reasons to reconnect
Your Facebook Feed widget may need reconnection if its session token expires. This can occur due to:
- Significant changes to your Facebook account, such as a password or username update
- Facebook resetting the token for its own reasons
In either case, you'll need to obtain a new token by reconnecting the widget.

By clicking Connect in these widgets, the reconnection will happen automatically.
