Can anyone explain in very basic terms how to create a facebook 'application' to get the api key needed for a wordpress plugin that will publish the stream and like button from a specific facebook page (not user profile) on a wordpress site? I have the site built and the wp plugin installed but I can't for the life of me get the stream from the business page to appear in the plugin on the wp site. I've ended up with the user stream or a blank stream and like button that goes nowhere. Facebook seems to have gone out of it's way to make this difficult for non techies. I can't find any guides that aren't written for developers on facebook, if anyone can break it down or knows of a link to a dummies guide I would really appreciate it.

    you need the id of the facebook page. then replace the id you have with that id.

    If you go to the page: developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/stream.get/
    see the user id, you need to replace that with the page_id. You might be able to view that page logged into facebook as the page. There is a dropdown to use facebook as any page you own.

    send me a pm if you dont get it. WE can figure it out.
