Installation and configuration videotutorial:

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

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

  11. Hey Javier,

    I’m a little confused… that code was taken from this very page. lol.

    If I don’t include it, the connect button doesn’t appear at all on IE… if I do include it, it still doesn’t work.

    Do I just remove the code and make the Facebook Connect functionality unusable to IE users, or is there something I’m missing?

    Thanks for your help. ;)

  12. Hi John,
    it could be a problem with a malformed xhtml (DOM), i see you have a ilegal character on your html tag, when you include the facebook namespace:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

    ……

    Other people have the same cut and paste problem.

    Thanks for using the plugin.

  15. Works fine on 2.6 & 2.7 installs with safari or firefox…
    I agree with Dave when he asked for english translations but i’ll be more general and ask for a pot file so we can translate it into any language.
    Thanks for your plugin ! keep up this good work.
