i had the same issue as most of you. pixel is shown active when using chrome fb pixel helper, but wasn’t able to verify connection through facebook. it would say “no activity yet..last received: never.”
i finally got it to activate today!! not sure exactly which changes i made did the magic, but i did a couple things simultaneously:
- cleared ALL-TIME browsing history through Chrome
after about 20 minutes i did the next two steps.
-
in fb pixel page, “setting” tab, i enabled everything (Limited Data use, Advanced Matching, etc)
-
for my website URL before hitting ‘Send Test Traffic’ i used https://www.mywebsite.com/ format rather than just www.mywebsite.com
it’s possible that step 1 had fixed the problem entirely…but since i did all 3 steps before hitting ‘send test traffic’ it’s worth giving steps 1-3 a shot!! Good luck. i know this can be frustrating.
