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">

  6. Dear Javier,

    I can get this plugin to work :( Is there a support forum ? I get the following error : Templates not synchronized with Facebook, write the templates text and press create templates! … It seems that the video tutorial is different then the actual setup on facebook. I am also using wp 2.7 is that a problem ? I am so excited about this plugin and would love make it work. can you help ?

    Thank you very much

    Robert

  9. This works great. Thanks so much for working so hard on it.
    Is there a way to get the widget without using it as a regular widget? I have a widget-less theme on one of my wordpress sites, and would like to integrate the plugin into that site.
