    “Error: Invalid username or Password.”

    It looks like you have changed your site from HTTP to HTTPS, so did you change the Facebook settings too to match?
    Site URL should start with 

    https://www.

    Same for your “Facebook APP Callback URL”, that should start with HTTPS

    Good day Gusst,
    I particularly changed that settings on facebook, although for the site settings it was just domain that was needed, no protocol, but for every settings that needed protocol it has been https:// – however, even if that had been a problem, the plugin should be able to produce a friendlier error message?

    The 500 error is a server error, its something failing that should not fail, it could be anything and there is no way to show a friendlier error message in this case.

    Can you please provide FTP info and i will debug this in the error logs.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    (P.S. password works now!)

    Hello,

    I have added a more graceful error message, in your case:

    Session path is not writable: /var/lib/php/session

    Please ask your server admin to check the problem.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
