So there have been lots of posts around about published services not working for Lightroom and Facebook with general error messages that Lightroom can't connect. Having received an update for Lightroom Classic yesterday and having removed and reauthorised LR / FB publish services a message now pops up that Lightroom is officially discontinuing published services support for Facebook. Disappointing as the advantage of published services is not to have to export to jpg and upload to FB thus not having to have jpgs clogging up disk space. A bit disappointing to say the least! Maybe someone will develop a third party published service plugin.
and please use their services

So, not just an Adobe decision.
"Warning: this plugin will likely cease to work as of August 1, 2018, because Facebook is revoking photo-upload privileges for all non-browser desktop apps like this.
As of June 2018, Adobe and I are in discussions with Facebook to see whether something might be worked out, but success is uncertain."

Yes true, The published services did it all for you so was a 1 step process rather than a 3 step. Makes a big change to work flow.

This a huge gripe for posting work online.
We now have to export into an album taking up disk space.
I upload different subjects on a rotation basis. I have four separate albums that I pick the photos from, publishing to different platforms, some of which are mobile based which means not only exporting files to different albums, but storing them on my phone also, and trying to keep track of what has been uploaded.
I stopped uploading stuff weeks ago, I just cant be bothered as its way too time consuming.

yes more so on FB end. Hopefully Adobe will sort it with FB
Not really having published services is a great feature but does rely on the interfacing between the two not being impacted by changes. I guess FB interfaces with many other applications with lots of different protocols. Difficult to develop for all of these to be compatible ALL the time, especially as for most FB is free.
