If you would like to increase the exposure of your blog WordPress Connect
it the perfect plugin for you. It comes with a unique set of tools through
which you can reach the largest social networking community on the planet
that would engage and then share and discuss your content. It will enable
you to build up a fan base and to connect with a wider and a more relevant
audience. Now your blog readers with a Facebook account can post comments,
create discussions and like your posts and pages.
The plugin integrates Facebook Social plugins with WordPress. It provides
tools to add the Facebook Like Button and Facebook Comments automatically
to every post and page. Of course, the user has a full control over settings
such as width, font, color scheme, etc.
WordPress Connect also provides fully customizable WordPress Widgets for the
following Facebook Social Plugins
- Activity Widget
- Comments Widget
- Facepile Widget
- Like Box Widget
- Like Button Widget
- Live Stream Widget
- Login Widget
- Recommendation Widget
- Send Button Widget
The widgets can be added to your blog just as easy as any other WordPress
Widget, i.e. through the widgets page (under Appearance on your Dashboard).
Since 2.0, all WordPress Connect widgets are rendered in the XFBML mode (i.e
no iframes) to provide full functionality the iframe versions may lack.
A big addition since 2.0 is a simple yet powerful API
for plugin and theme developers who can now specify default settings for WordPress
Connect to reflect the needs of their plugin/theme. The API provides an easy
way to include any widget (such as the Like Button of Comments) anywhere in
the theme, e.g. to add the Like Button to the header or Comments to the
footer.
Requirements
- PHP 5.2.0 or newer

ਅਕਸਰ ਪੁੱਛੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਸਵਾਲ
Below are asnwers to most common questions. If you have a question which is not
answered here, please ask your question on the support forums.
I monitor those and will try to answer as soon as possible.
- How does it work
-
Using WordPress Connect is very easy. Simply install and activate the plugin.
The default settings will ensure that you can start benefiting from the
features of WordPress Connect right away. By default, Like Buttons will appear
at the top of all posts and pages (just before the content) and Comments will
appear at the bottom of your posts and pages (right after the content). All
widgets are pre-configured with Facebook default values and are available from
the Widgets Menu for an immediately use. - I have upgraded to 2.0 and some/all of my previous settings are gone
-
Version 2.0 of WordPress connect offers greatly extended functionality, more
features and more control over the social plugins. Unfortunately, as a direct
consequence, a few settings from previous version(s) are incompatible and will
need to be entered as again via the settings pages.Furthermore, Facebook has rolled out many new features in March 2011 and
consequently the format and xfbml markup of some of their social plugins has
changed. New options on WordPress Connect setting pages reflect these changes,
but unfortunately, it was not possible to keep every single setting from
previous versions.If you notice any unexpected behavior, please double check the values set
on the WordPress Connect settings (available through your administratior
dashboard). Additionally, please consult the documentation pages. - Cannot access comments moderation
-
After adding the comments plugin to your blog and creating a new Facebook Application
clicking on “Settings” on the comments box displays the following error:Cannot edit global settings or moderation mode without fb:app_id
To solve this problem, you will need to add the domain of your blog
to the Facebook Applpication settings:- Go to My Apps
- Select the application your created for your blog/site (from the list of applications on the left side)
- Click on ‘Edit Settings’ in the list of links on the right side (next to application details)
- Click on ‘Web Site’ (the second link from the top)
- Fill in the ‘Site Domain’ field. If your blog is at http://www.myblog.com enter just ‘myblog.com’
- After clicking on ‘Save Changes’ and reloading the page with the comments on it, you should be able to access the moderation settings
Please visit the FAQ pages
for a more detailed walk-through of the process described above (including screenshots) - What is the Application ID for?
-
The Facebook Javascript API require a unique application ID to work. A new
ID can easiliy be created by registering your site/blog at
http://developers.facebook.com/setup/ - How do I change the position of the Like Button/Comments?
-
The default position of the Like Button and Comments can be changed from the
WP Connect options pages accessible through the dashboard. If you would
like to change the position of the Like Button of Comments in a particular
post or page, simply go to edit the post/page and select the new position
from the Like Button and Comments position drop-downs (or the right-hand side,
in the “WordPress Connect” module).For more details about customizing the position and the settings of individual
Like Buttons and Comments see the documentation page
and FAQ pages. - Do the widgets work with WP Super Cache and other caching plugins?
-
Yes, the content in all widgets will update every time a user visits your site,
even if the page (in which the widgets are embedded) remains unchanged.
This is because Facebook delivers content to widgets either via asynchronous
Javascript calls (xfbml), i.e. content is requested after every page load. - The widgets I place in my sidebar are cut-off
-
Some Facebook Social Plugins have a minimum width below which they will not
resize any further (but the will rather get cut-off). For example,
the comments box needs to be at least 400px wide. If the container into which
you are placing the widget is not wide enough, the content of the widget will
not display properly. The usual sidebar that comes with most themes is too
narrow for widgets such as the comments box. The only solution is to place the
widget into a widget area that is wide enough, such as the ‘Footer Widget
Area’ of the defeault twenty ten theme. - The plugin doesn’t work in my favorite theme
-
If the plugin doesn’t work in one theme but does in others, the most
likely reason is that the theme itself doesn’t implement WordPress hooks
properly. For everything to work correctly, the plugin needs to add code into
the html head tag (wordpress header) and the footer of the blog pages.
It uses wordpress hooks (add_action
andadd_filter
) for this purpose.
If the theme author has not included the common wordpress hooks into the
theme, required code cannot be added into the pages.You should contact the theme author and ask him/her to implement the
wp_head and wp_footer action calls correctly. - I updated the plugin to the latest version but don’t see the changes
-
If you are using any caching solution, such as WP Cache or WP Supercache,
you’ll need to reset the cache, i.e. to delete the cached pages. This is
necessary so that the xfbml markup values can be updated. - Facebook Social Plugins Info
-
More information about the plugins can be found back on Facebook at
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/ - I set an image as the feature image but it doesn’t show on Facebook
-
The theme you are using must support
post-thumbnails
for this particular
feature to work. - FAQ
