1.My WordPress Theme dont support widgets, What can i do?
If your wordpress don’t support widgets, you can add the FB Connect widgets manually:
$args=array();
$args['loginbutton'] = "xlarge"; //value: small,medium,large,xlarge
$args['maxlastusers'] = "10"; //Max. user photos to display
$args['avatarsize'] = "30"; //User photos size
widget_FacebookConnector($args);
?>
2. IExplorer don’t show the login button and user photos
On some wordpress themes you need to modify your “header.php” file:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
......
and check your “footer.php” theme file: if don’t have a < ?php wp_footer(); ?> line
Add it before the end body tag:
3. I can’t see the Send to Facebook checkbox, on the comments form
Check your comments.php Theme file, and add this code line:
...
<form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">
...
...
<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>
</form>
...
...
4. I can’t see the Facebook user photo on the comments
FB Connector plugin use the get_avatar WordPress filter, to show the Facebook user photo or the Gravatar user image (based on the email).
Sample comments.php theme file that call this filter:
...
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 32 ); ?>
<cite><?php comment_author_link() ?></cite> Says:
...

5. How to configure the invitation limit
Facebook changed the notification/invitation limit from a fixed to a fluctuating limit based on user spamminess ratings. A formula based on some parameters like your historical invitation acceptance rate.
From your Facebook application admin page, you can see the current “allocation” limits.
Go to: Facebook app admin->statistics->Allocations.
6. How to show post author avatar (Gravatar or Facebook profile)
Use this code at the WP bucle (index.php or single.php):
7. How to show facebook login button without the widget
Edit your WP theme files and paste this code:
@Jimi
I put my blog URL
http://www.pablomacaluso.com
All things are done :S and nothings works.
@ Pablo
Ok, lets see if we can figure this out.
1. You have created a new App in Facebook.
2. You have filled out the blogg url as Callback url
3. In your blogg settings under fbconnect you have added the API key and API secret as they are shown in Facebook for your created App
Are these steps done?
Have you doublechecked that you have added the right Key and secret?
What URL have you put in the callback url?
I do that, i put my blog URL on the Callback url of the app. But nothings happend.
@ Eric
I did a little trick as I also have a custom theme that is not widget ready. I simply added a box where I wanted the widget to appear and then added the code that normaly add the widgets into that box:
Then you can go to the widgets section and add the FBC. This will include the widget and you can customise it as it was intended through your widget section
Hope that helps, otherwise just howl.
You can see it in action on my Portfolio here (still working on it): http://www.mortfiles.se/portfolio/
I cant get this to work with my custom theme. The facebook connect button does not show up even with firefox. the facebook box shows up, but nothing works, I can’t log in or out. ugh.
Also, can someone help me with manually adding the widget. I just recently upgraded to 2.7 and am not sure I have the widget thing set up properly.
@ Courtney and Pablo
It seems that when you setup the application on Facebook you forgot to fill in the callback URL. Go to your developer page on Facebook and add it and things should work again.
Your footer code should be
There shouldn’t be a space before the first question mark.
I have the same error of Courtney
I’m running WP 2.6 w/ Thesis theme, no wp-cache type apps http://www.web20igoblog.com . When users click to join FBconnect using Sociable widget, gets page stating:
Invalid Argument
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://www.web20igoblog.com/wp-content/plugins/fbconnect/xd_receiver.htm#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.299%22%7D) must have the application’s callback url (http://Web20iGoBlog.com) as a prefix. You can configure the callback url in the application’s settings.
Any help?
Hello,
First, I would like to say thank you for your plugin. I tried on my blog, and I like it so far.
Anyway, I found that there is a problem with member link when WordPress is installed in a different directory. Probably, I think get_option(‘home’) should do the trick, not get_option(‘siteurl’).
It seems that that the link to commenter’s Facebook profile URL (after he/she is connected) will go to http://www.connect.facebook blah, it gives me 404. Any idea about this?
A very useful plugin!
Can it be modified somehow in the same way as the widget, or is that on the “to-do-list”?
what’s the php code to include only the facebook connect button ?
i’d like to add it instead of the “you must be logged in to post” and i dont want all the widget to appear !
thanks a lot !
and great work, your plugin is wonderfully usefull
If I add it manually what should i enter in the parenthesis after FacebookConnector?
Great, thanks for this faq
Does the plugin only support WP 2.6 or above version?
