Getting following message when I try to post a link from my site to Facebook.

403 - This request is blocked by Admin Tools. Please change this message in the component's options

I read documentation, but I don't want to just change the message, I would like to allow the posting
of my article on Facebook. I was able to do this before I upgraded to 3.5. Is there an issue with that?

I found this recent ticket with a similar problem. The process to fix it was:

Disable GeoBlock
Afterwards you must remember to force Facebook to purge its cache. Otherwise you will keep seeing the old (blocked) page. You can do that at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

If this doesn't help, please paste me the URL of the article. Perhaps there's a tmpl or template keyword that's being blocked? Also, are you using any third party plugin to implement AMP (accelerated mobile pages) or Facebook's Instant Articles on your site?
