Keeping FB fanpage and personal page separate

5 replies
Hello,

I hope an expert on Facebook can help me. I have a fanpage to which I share pictures and videos mostly, as well as posts from my blog. But whenever I like or share as my fanpage, it shows up on my personal page.

I could have sworn there was a way to keep those two separate. When I post a status update on the fanpage or even when I'm on a website and I see something I want to share with my fanpage, I click on the "Share" button in that website and then I choose the option to "share as" my fanpage. However, that option shares with both. Thank goodness I don't have an R-rated fanpage. Is there some sort of setting either on my personal page or on my fanpage that keeps these two separate?

Anyways, I've googled it and looked for a solution on FB, but apparently I'm the only one in the entire world with this problem

Thanks in advance,
Nancy

    When you are on the fan page up top you will see an option that says "Use Facebook As {page name} .. select that and your likes will be 'as the page' and not as you.

      I'm pretty sure that's what I've been doing. I went back to a page I had shared previously, clicked the Share button and it brings a pop-up that says "Share:On your own timeline". Below that is my fanpage profile photo and to the right of the photo it says "Posting as this page."

      I have my fanpage open in another tab and it says "posting as the fanpage" in the share box.

      Sure enough - the above showed up both on my fanpage and my personal page.

      Do you think that I have to Unlike my fanpage and then it won't show?

    You cant share as a page because the page has no friends. So you will always be sharing as yourself.

    Well, if the “Use Facebook as:” setting is not working, that is unusual. I have my personal Facebook account, I have three fan pages under it and I have never really had problems using it. Also, I do not think that it would help if you would unlike your page.

    Stop coming those posts on your personal page, since its your page, the default is that it will come first to your page as shared but can be stopped if you dont want it, just use the drop down on the post coming on your page at right side & click - i dont want to see it.
