    This is caused by Facebook adding a rule of having 2000 followers/fans to create custom tabs.

    The rule came as part of the 90-Day Breaking Changes on the Version 2.11 Update of Facebook, which was rolled out on November 7, 2017. The rule became effective on February 7, 2018.

    You can find the changelog here

    At the moment, we can't do anything about this issue as it is being handled on Facebook's side.

    However, if you are experiencing this issue with your Facebook page that has more than 2000 followers, please let us know.
