Pulling my hair out trying to figure out Facebook's Wordpress App - Please help!

1 replies
Hey Warriors,

Has anyone created a Facebook business page for their website and integrated the Facebook WP plugin?

I'm having the hardest time figuring out how to get this WP plugin working with Facebook. The Facebook plugin it supposed to let you post to your Facebook wall from your WP site. It seems extremely useful for generating traffic from FB if I can only get it to work. I want to avoid having to make separate posts on my FB page. I want the ability to be able to designate post to be posted to FB.

I first started out by creating a FB business page for my website that was not associated to my personal FB account because I wanted to keep the two separate. Come to find I it seems like I am force to connect my personal account to the business account if I want to take advantage of the Apps feature.

With the FB/WP plugin I need to create a Facebook app. But this is not allowed using a business account only a personal account. So I have gone in to my personal account and created an app for my site. My goal is to post to my website's FB page from my WP blog. I already have a Business page setup for my site at www.facebook.com/mysite

Now it seems like I have to connect the two FB accounts in some way I'm not sure how. I've been pulling my hair out for two days on this one, reading, searching for answers with no luck.

If anyone has gone through the process of setting up a business page so that you can post to it from wordpress please help.

Much thanks,
Aaron

    I'm not sure if I understand what you are trying to achieve.
    Do you want all blog posts (from your website and as they are published) to automatically show up on fb?

    I like to use a fb app called RSS graffiti for that... you configure it on fb and it simply reads the RSS feed of your blog.
    An alternative with many more possibilities is a web based (and free) service called
    dlvr.it. It's pretty awesome.
