It was previously possible to share a post using the Facebook sharing popup options to post on a business page instead of posting on your personal account, by using the Share on a page you manage option from a Facebook sharing popup.

This option is one of the many sharing options:

• Share on a friend's timeline
• Share in a group
• Share in an event
• Share on a page you manage - will not work if you haven't selected the right profile

This error can be confusing, however it can easily be solved with following steps. It simply means that you are currently browsing Facebook under your personal profile, and not under the corresponding business page profile on which you are trying to create a new post.

Step 2: Switch Facebook profile

By simply clicking on the corresponding button, the page will reload itself and you will be logged in as your business page profile.
