Error: Facebook API came back with a result, but it had no photos!

This error means that Facebook responded, but it did not provide any photos. Generally this means there was an authentication issue - as in a photo album not on a Facebook Page or not set as public was attempted to be accessed.

Error: Album ID was empty

The URL copied from Facebook was not copied correctly. Part of the set of numbers in a Facebook album URL are the album's Graph ID. This ID is how the Facebook API identifies data.

Error: Facebook API returned empty result. Please double check your Facebook album URL.

This error means that no data was received by Facebook. This is generally a temporary issue due to your web server not being able to connect to Facebook. If this error continually persists contact your web host, or contact me for support.
