Facebook Connect WordPress Plugin Configuration
Installation and configuration videotutorial:
1. Log in to the Facebook Developer application: http://www.facebook.com/developers/
2. Create a new application, more info: http://developers.facebook.com/get_started.php
3. Upload the `fbconnect` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
4. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
5. Configure the plugin through the ‘Facebook Connector’ section of the ‘Settings’ menu
6. Use the Facebook App info (step 2) to configure the plugin
7. Create a new template for comments.
8. Activate the Facebook Connector widget from the ‘Design / Widtgets’ menu.
9. Important: If you dont see the Facebook Connect login button and the user photos (on IExplorer), you need to modify your “header.php” theme file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

nice

When people “like” a post, I see a generic “N other people liked this post.” How do I see who these people are? I think my “Friends” are listed by name.
oops… posted twice – now 3 times
When people “like” a post, how do I log where the “likes” came from?
I can’t seem to get this to work – the logo never shows up. Might go with a different FB connect tool.
I don’t understand this point:
7. Create a new template for comments.
Where should I create this template? What should be included?
And btw: Where do I change the font colors inside the comments?
Thanks for any help!
Very nice explanation . Really helps
I followed the steps and it is nearly working.
The sidebar widget is showing up but without connect with facebook logo and comments are not being sent to facebook either. I have added the extra bits to my header file too. Really stuck here any help would be appreciated.
The install instructions need to be updated. I am on the verge of giving up and using a different plugin.
For instance, with the Thesis compatible plugin it says to uncompress in the themes directory. I have done that, and it says the theme is incomplete. I also cannot find any fbconnect plugin as well.
I tried v 1.2.1 as well, uncompressed and moved into the plugins directory, and no fbconnect plugin is shown. When I open the folder, the files look nothing like what is in the video.
Is there a place to find updated instructions?
Chris
need some assistance here i got this message when i update my template
“Error updating Facebook templates!”
i dont know what i did wrong.
by the way, i cant find the callback url as shown from the video.
“Templates not synchronized with Facebook, write the templates text and press create templates!”
What is that? Something wrong with my template?
The video does not look the same as on facebook. Facebook has changed. Video does not help me get it working.

Javier! Saludos desde Uruguay tocayo!!! te felicito por el plugin es realmente excelente, pero ultimamente me ha surgido un grave problema que quisiera comentartelo. El problema surgue cuando un X usuario quiere ingresar por primera vez mediante su cuenta Facebook al sitio. Es rarisimo ya que al parecer el usuario logra ingresar mediante facebook pero su usuario no es registrado como usuario wordpress, osea, el usuario esta auntentificado mediante facebook pero no existe como usuario wordpress, esto lleva a que el plugin sea practicamente inservible. Es como que el nuevo usuario esta pero no esta. Es raro, el problema empezo a surgir hace una, dos semanas aprox. Espero que me ayudes, te agradezco de tu tiempo.
Saludos desde Uruguay!!!

Help appreciated!
Ok, now I’m having issues connecting the comment to Facebook. I get this message…
Application response error
Supplied template data does not cover the following tokens [post_title, body_short] needed for template ‘{*actor*} commented on http://shackn.com, post title: {*post_title*}, {*body_short*} .’ You can see this because you are one of the developers of the app.
Great plugin – and it works well. However, we get one error : If you check the box that says post this comment to facebook – we get an error message from Facebook to the effect that there was an application error. Is there anything to be changed in the Application Settings on facebook for this to work ? Thanks
Same here
