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">

Hi
After running thru the facebook developer instructions, i found a solution to the mystery of the facebook button not appearing.
Simply add the code to the footer.php file of your theme:
Note: the instructions on this site had a space in between “<” and “?php” which caused it not to evaluate the php statement.
Hope this saves someone hours of scratching their head.

Hello Javier I’m italian but I undestand your problem is the same of me
the callback url is different of video!
if you find the solution please tell me
Hola Javier, me gusta mucho el plugin que habeis creado pero no consigo hacerlo funcionar bien en mi blog, creo que el problema se debe al “Callback URL” en Facebook que no aparece de la misma forma en la interfaz de FB que vosotros poneis en el videotutorial, si pudierais decirnos donde hay que poner el callback URL (ya que hay varias opciones) te estaria muy agradecido.
Un saludo.
Hello, Compliment for site and for videotutorial
I watch this video and I install facebook connect to my site but if I click on “connect with facebook” (the button in my site) :
“To fix this error, please set your Connect URL in the application settings editor. Once it has been set, users will be redirected to that URL instead of this page after logging in.”
I set the connect url
this is a screen shot: http://nsa06.casimages.com/img/2009/03/29/090329025755833416.png

please can you help me?

I’ve got it working. I repeated the install using IE instead of FF. Great application!!!
Thanks so much for all your hard work!!
Keep getting:
Templates not synchronized with Facebook, write the templates text and press create templates!
Using WP 2.7.1
Template: Arthemia
I have seen other blogs using this plugin and the same template I just need to know how to make it work correctly.
Manually configured templates to match the plug-in templates and that does not work either.

Hi,
Thank you for a great plugin!
I have a problem: The plugin worked on website flawlessly but I deleted my facebook application to recreate a new one. When I redo the steps, the step where I am supposed to create a comment template gives me this error message: “Error updating Facebook templates!”
Do you know what happens? Maybe there was a template created during my first attempt?
Please help. Thank you

Hi, I have tried the fixes that you mention with my theme in the header and footer.php files. But the images still do not show up. Can you please give me a suggestion of what could be going wrong?
The added code actually ends up on the front page of my website.

And will that result into Posting your Post to facebook too?

it’s an awesome plugins , i trying integrating in my wp site but the invite friends isn’t working … somebody please help
I’ve tried numerous times and unfortunetely I just can’t get the Facebook button to load in any browser – I did everything that was suggested on this site, and watched both videos. Guess I’ll have to come back when you have a newer version – nice idea though.
Brilliant tutorial! I’m not remotely a developer, and you made it easy enough for me to understand what to do. Thanks so much for taking the time to develop this and to make it easy for us non-technical folks.
Nice plugin. It works well for me in firefox, but i get this error in IE

i have a problem :s when i click on the connect button it shows me an error :
Invalid Argument
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://blogpourri.com/wp-content/plugins/fbconnect/xd_receiver.htm#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.285%22%7D) must have the application’s callback url (http://www.blogpourri.com) as a prefix.
