  1. sabes por que te quita los privilegios de administrador cuando instalas el plugin, aun si voy al wp-admin y me loggeo con mi user de administrador cuando entro al sitio me manda directo al dashboard del usuario…. como puedo quitar este error?

  2. OK… I think this plugin inadvertently removed my admin privileges to my own blog. My facebook and blog username are the same. Could that have something to do with it? Anytime I try to click on any admin task on the wordpress dashboard, I get “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” Can anyone help me get my blog permissions back? Thanks.

  3. I get the same message. Invalid URL I am thinking it is since my site was just created,, the DNS needs to replicate to other DNS servers enough so facebook can’t verify the address yet even though it’s ok from my location.
