I got the following error on trying to create an event: Facebook SDK threw an error: OAuthException: (#12) events management API is deprecated for versions v2.0 and higher

It looks to me that Facebook no longer support events - see Facebook Platform Change Log and search for "event".

Have you seen the fb_permissions page with the 2.0 permissions configuration?

Thanks for the reply @e0ipso and sorry it's taken me some time to get back to this ...

I have v 7.x-1.2 and am not seeing any mention of 2.0 permissions.

Do I need the Dev version?

Yes, at /admin/config/services/fbpermissions in my case for Administrator Role

I have Create Event ticked.

I don't see any mention of 2.0 permissions.

From what I've read you cannot create events in 2.0 which is less than helpful. Thanks Facebook.

According to Facebook's docs it is no longer possible as of API 2.0 to create events via the Graph API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/event#publish

https://www.google.com/search?q=events%20management%20API%20is%20depreca...

As such, the current Event publication type in FB Autopost is nonfunctional. It should probably be removed, or if there is some other way to post events through a Facebook API, modified to work with that method. Otherwise people are likely to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get events working only to find that it was all wasted time. Unfortunately that just happened to me.

I'm changing the title to reflect the current situation.

It is available in 2.5 - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.5/event for adding photos and videos :(
