How to Edit the List of Favorite Pages on a Facebook Fan Page
As with many things about Facebook, editing the list of favorite pages is unintuitive.
There isn’t an edit link under the pencil icon and the application isn’t even listed with the other ones under the edit this page link.
So how do you edit the favorite pages application and remove pages from it?
Believe it or not you have to go to each page and manually remove it from your favorites! This is ok for a couple of pages but what if you want to remove a lot of them?
- Visit the page
- Click on the link below the logo that says “Remove from My Page’s Favorites
- Repeat for each page you want to remove from you favorites.

- How to Add the Facebook Fan Page Widget to Your Website

There must be a better way.

Nothing on Facebook seems to be as intuitive as it should or needs to be.
I didn’t even realy know about this myself.
Thanks!

Hi Jim – Facebook is a pain in the butt to work with. Yesterday I was going to work on a couple of fan page projects and I couldn’t. The site was super slow and the edit links wouldn’t work. And it’s true – it’s not intuitive at all.

Kim, I personally a very active Facebook user, but I didn’t know this little trick as you did! How silly of me…LOl

Hi Wilson – LOL – Like I keep saying, facebook is annoying :-)

Hi Kim,
Thank you for all this great info! I thought creating a custom fan page on Facebook would be easy but Facebook certainly doesn’t make it so! Every time I get stuck and google a question your site keeps coming up with an answer for me. I REALLY appreciate it :-)

Hi LoriAnne – Thanks! And I’m glad to know the search engines are doing their job properly and sending people my way ;-)

Hi Nana – Yes, I have love/hate feelings about Facebook. I’m glad the article helped you out.

To edit fan pages, I just figured out that I can click on Friends at the top menu bar, then click on pages on the left column. This gives me a list of all the fan pages, and I can hit the X next to each page to delete them from the list. Hope this helps someone.

Hi Laura – Nice tip! That works great. Again, it’s unintuitive like so much about Facebook.
Thanks!

Walmart and others does not have a link to remove from my favorites page. It just has suggest to friends and subscribe vis sms. Could you please tell me what I’m doing wrong?
December 27, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Never mind, I found it. You have to go farther down the page on some of them and it’ll say “remove me from fans” on the left hand side.

Hi Tina – I’m glad you found it. Facebook options aren’t always where you think they should be.

I’m curious to know how to go about adding pages to your favorites… when you have both a personal profile and a fan page. TIA
January 6, 2010 at 11:04 am
sorry, didn’t specify that I want to add the favorites to the fan page and not my personal profile

Hi Peter – Profile pages don’t have a “favorites” section. Unfortunately, you need to go to each page and click on the link that says Add to My Pages Favorites. If you are the Admin for more than one fan page you will then be asked to select which page you want the page to be a favorite of.

nice and helpful, thanks!

Hi Cindi – Thanks – I’m glad it helped.

Under “Info” on my profile page in Facebook, there’s a heading called “Pages” and another called “Groups”. There are links in both of these categories that I did not add and I want to delete–how do I do this?

Hi Bill – On the Info tab there is a See All link to the right of Groups. If you click on that you can remove the Groups that you no longer want to belong to.
For Pages click on the Friends link on the very top Facebook navigation bar – this will list your Friends and Pages. You can remove the pages here.
The Facebook has been rolling out an interface change over the weekend so it’s possible that my instructions won’t work – I’m not seeing the new interface yet.
