T&S SAID WHAT?!
Our thoughts, inspiration and words of wisdom
It turns out that the default setting is that others cannot tag pictures you post on your business’s Page. They can for your personal profile, but not on your Page.
Luckily, a Facebook user figured out the following method, and we were able to use it on our Pages here at T&S. Works way better than a baseball bat.
Follow these steps to allow users to tag photos on your business’s Facebook Page:
- Go to your Facebook Page.
- Directly below your Page’s Profile photo, click on “Edit Page”.
- In your browser’s URL, note the number that comes AFTER ‘edit/?id=’ That number is your Page ID.
- Go to this URL, but change REPLACEME to your Page ID from step 3: http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/app_settings.php?id=REPLACEME&aid=2305272732
- Click the setting for “Allow All Fans to Tag Photos”
- Save your settings.
Not too difficult, and good to know!

Hi there. I used your method here to let fans tag the photos of themselves and their friends on my photography page. The only issue is that after having done this, yes, it gives the fans the option to tag but when they try and do it, they select the name they want, click finish tagging, and then a dialogue box pops up telling them that they do not have to permission to do this. I don’t understand! Any thoughts?
cheers.

For better or worse, Facebook is changing things all the time. Here’s the way you can now perform this action:
Let us know whether that works for you or not. If not, there may just be a temporary bug in Facebook.
I should also note that we have both settings on that page set to Allow.

No surprise there, Facebook moved it again. In your Admin Panel above the Cover Photo, click Manage, then click the dropdown that says Edit Page. You should then land on the Manage Permissions page. One of the options says “Tagging Ability.” The checkbox next to that will let people tag your photos.
