Hi everyone,

For the last week I been trying to change and create usernames on my Facebook Pages but, I am not able since I been getting this error "Unable to check availability". Is this an error on Facebook or in my account? Is anyone else getting this error? How can this error be fixed? Thanks!

Rendemly it doesn't come, but you facing this issue then you have to wait for couple of weeks and try again, because their is certain limitations to change or creat your username.

Ok so, basically they just block it temporally? Like they do when you want to use again an old username? Thanks!

Maybe your Page has changed in the last 7 days, or it's an error on Facebook's part.

You need to give permission to another FB profile and access that profile then you can make changes to the Page name.
 
If you've made update previously, you need to wait some time, can't remember exactly
 
You might have recently changed the username of your page. That's why, they are not allowing you to change the username again because there is a time period in which you can't change the username again if you have already changed.
 
I think it is due to a technical error from Facebook, just wait a while

If you want to change the Page name, you need to wait 7 days. Some Pages will be limited to only changing it 2 times
 
Maybe the name has been approved for less than 1 week, which means that the last time you sent a request to change the name of the Facebook page, whether the new name was approved successfully or not, you still have to wait a full week to send the request again.
 
It's Facebook. It prevents changing the name for a while or some pages cannot be changed name anymore. We just can move to another page which can change the name
 
Have you ever changed your name before? Maybe it's because you're still in the period where you can't change your name

You can share that FP via another FB profile and try again, it may be because your current profile is corrupted.
 
They only block it temporarily, try again in a few weeks. Good luck
 
You cannot change the page name too many times, because maybe because you just changed the name, Facebook won't let you change it, let try again in a few week
