Facebook fan page issues:

MIkes Marketing - Platinum Marketing | Facebook

I have set up fan page, Im using some software via Wordpress , now by clicking on the menu tabs it opens up content pages, Ive only got one or two lines on there as test but heres the weird bit, its on the WP blog pages , its on the FB fan page BUT for me anyway it only shows if I hover over it ie as if to ...copy paste it, yet the photo of me shows OK, the text is hidden?
Any ideas I am stumped, the person who developed the software for WP is stumped , Ive checked all the font colours they are black , unless its some obscure FB setting ...any ideas great fully recieved thanks xx

    What text are you talking about? It looks fine to me.

    hi thanks for replying, the text that when on the platinum marketing page (where you should land) when you open any of the drop down menus should show, on the bottom most menu it shows but not on the others , ie open loins or fishy and there should be some text in there (doesnt make much sense as its just for testing)

    I never really understand why programmers use word press as their platform, FB fanpages are simple in design and layout so using a word press script, platform or plugin to build the fanpage is over kill.

    Plus if individuals are using scripts like this how do you get over the issues of HTTPS and oath?

    If you are struggling with this already perhaps you should consider another system as facebook are in development mode so new changes can be expected which could make your hard work pointless if its not easy to change or update.

    I just stumbled back on this thread, most importantly is the fact your page is not viewable in secure mode which is a requirement of facebooks.

    So you need to start using HTTPs by adding a security certificate or start using a platform which does.

    See you page via this link to see what I mean:

    HI IC thanks, I previously set up a secure fan page but then it didnt show for me and for many others , i understand the secure canvas is just the canvas with https at the front?

      No, its not just a matter of adding s, you have to actually add a security certificate to your domain/server.
