Facebook Connect Wordpress Plugin FAQs
1.My Wordpress Theme dont support widgets, What can i do?
If your wordpress don’t support widgets, you can add the FB Connect plugin manually:
<?php
widget_FacebookConnector(array());
?>
2. IExplorer don’t show the login button and user photos
On some wordpress themes you need to modify your “header.php” 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">……
and check your “footer.php” theme file: if don’t have a < ?php wp_footer(); ?> line
Add it before the end body tag:
…
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
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):
<?php echo get_avatar( $authordata->ID,50 );?>

Does this plugin work on WordPress MU?
It seems to have a ton of issues with Wordpress Mu
This seems to work fine on this site, but the tutorial does not reflect installing on Wordpress 2.8. Menus in Facebook’s developer section seem different now as well.
Lets see how this facebook connect thingy actually works
Test
Hola,
He instalado el plugin y funciona muy bien. El único problema es que no me sale el botón para logearse a Facebook cuando utilizo el iexplorer. He añadido la línea en el header.php tal y como se indica aquí, pero sigue sin funcionar. Alguien sabe si esto se puede solucionar? Gracias.
Si tienes seleccionada la opción “Login de Facebook seguro mediante SSL.” en la configuración del Faceboon Connector de tu wordpress prueba desmarcandola.
Saludos
Receiving an error now
Supplied template data does not cover the following tokens [blogname, post_title, body_short] needed for template ‘{*actor*} commented on {*blogname*}, post title: {*post_title*}, {*body_short*} .’ You can see this because you are one of the developers of the app.
I am using the default Template. Is there a fix for this?
coolll
I can only see my own profile pic when logged in. Is there a way to show the avatar’s of those which have visited, not just the default icons? I’d like to show real photos of the visitors…
Thanks for a great plug-in!!!
@jeffbetts
Posting comments to Facebook from Google Chrome does not work. Is there any fix for this?
testing
Is proxied email a part of your plugin at all? Seems odd not to have a way to contact your subscribers.
If not, what would be required to add it?
on my site http://www.joysticktales.com/ after you login you have to refresh the browser TWICE before actually appearing logged in…
does anyone know how to fix this? I think it must be a pretty minor change I just don’t know what to do…
It does work in 2.8. I had issues with the user photos not showing up and the invite friends option. I changed my connect url, by removing the “www” it works perfect now. Thanks, This is The Best WP Plugin!
http://www.kaost.com/blog – (Test Site) here it is working on 2.8
Sorry, just figured out that you cant be logged into facebook and try to get into the super-admin. Logout of facebook and you can login normally to wordpress as the super-admin.
I installed the plugin, created the Facebook app. The directions and video show different screens than what I see in facebook for the app.
When I go to login to my Wordpress site as my super-admin, non-facebook account it tells me it doesn’t have enough privileges to access the /wp-admin/ pages. WHAT! How can the uber admin not have access?
Please help!!!!
can anyone verify this works on WP2.8?
im definitely going to install it. thanks to author for such a good plugin and all associate supports.
Hi Javier,
I’m liking the plug-in so far. But one slight problem if anyone in this thread can help me out with:
How do I remove the user profiles function. I just want users to be able to comment on my website and publish it back to Facebook without having to link back to the profile page. I don’t want profile pages on my website. how do i fix this?
Thanks
Working on setting this up for bluemoonrising.com . Wish me luck!
testing
I’m unable to get anything to show up, even after adding in additional code above.
test comment
Yup, compatibility with WP 2.8 is broken on this site as well, there are no post on FB, no pcitures; it just allows you to login and gives you an “application transport error”… looking forward to see this fixed.
I’m just testing to see if FB comments are broken here as well for WP version 2.8.
When I try to use my connect to facebook button from a ’single post’s page’, it links incorrectly to my xd.receiver.htm!
Instead of going to the root of the directory, it tries to do this!
http://www.joysticktales.com/images/rip-moonwalker/xd_receiver.htm?fb_login&fname=_opener&guid=0.9924426411787279&session={%22session_key%22%3A%223.WlxG79Bo5CwHKR4Uh_dlRQ__.86400.1246298400-505138925%22%2C%22uid%22%3A%22505138925%22%2C%22expires%22%3A1246298400%2C%22secret%22%3A%225czXOdO_Jv8DFrSPm1Zc8g__%22%2C%22base_domain%22%3A%22www.joysticktales.com%22%2C%22sig%22%3A%22b8e5d8f1586be0a5bd5b531fa4f1cfcf%22}
How do i set it up so no matter what page I am on, it always looks for the xd.receiver in the right place? Signing in from other areas of the site works well.
Are there any template tags, or do you have to use the widget?
kit mobley says: how can i resize the invite friends box so that it fits within my website?
Go to the plugin’s .CSS and make changes there.
Hello, got the plugin installed and works great with WP2.8
Question: It seems the plugin in the “Community Page” pulls profile pics from all users WP+FB.
However, if you click on an avatar of a WP registered only user, the profile won’t show thier picture??
If you clik in an avatar of a FB connected user, thier profile does show a picture.
Any ideas how to fix this?? Alguna sugerencia Javier?

Hello,
I saw that you implement the possibility to update the FB Status from sociable.
This great evolution isn’t yet available with the latest version of the plug-in (1.2.1).
Are you going to release this new feature soon?
Thanks.
