I've been using a Premium WordPress plugin UserPro, and for some reason, the facebook sign-in feature doesn't work. While Twitter and Google+ sign in work perfectly.
Every time I try logging in via facebook it says "Cannot Sign in! Looks like some error with Facebook email id". I've tried logging in via multiple email IDs to no avail.
Apparently its "a problem with my app setup" so could anyone give me tips on how to set up the app for this plugin? Also, is there some sort of issue with Facebook apps and test websites (my website is currently on a webhostbox.net URL and that is the URL I've been entering for the app.
Looks like the plugin hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that came with Graph API v2.4. Or, you're using an outdated version. If you pay for that, refer to the creator of the plugin if it's already v2.4 compliant.

I wonder How this Facebook API Program Capture Visitors Name and Email without Permission. I visited a Facebook page today and found that my name and email automateically appear when I click on the post image. I guess they are doing it with the latest Facebook SDK.
This is the post I am referring to.
This is the page about their API Script.
Can anyone tell me where I can setup the same using PHP. I could not locate any information in Facebooks developer page. Highly appreciate your feedback.

Looks like Lead Ads, the docs are full of example code:

After latest Facebook API changes, is there any way to post on friend's wall, using authenticated access_token?
I have tried using Feed Dialog, but redirects to facebook login page. I want to bypass the login step.
Unfortunately not. From the Facebook API documentation on publishing:
"Note: If you are posting to a friend's timeline or wall, you must use the Feed Dialog."
Full details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/publishing/
No,You Cant
Currently, Facebook allows to post by two ways:
Using FacebookAPI
Using Facebook SDK (depends on your requirement)
And in both these methods its must that you should be an authorised user to perform the action, authentication is a must.So you can't do this without a login.
NB: As per the Facebook Developer docs, graph API no longer works .(But I would like to add on that many of the iOS apps which used this service are still functioning well). So, I prefer to use Facebook SDK.
Hope my answer is clear.
The facebook "wave" has finally hit me and I see that it's now time to integrate the wonders of the Facebook API into my site. I'm a little worried about implementing a "Login with Facebook" button because my site stores information about each user, and I'm not sure whether or not the facebook login system will also store said information. Any user who registers to my site has the ability to "like" certain pages that were found while browsing the site, and the categories of each page the user likes is stored and linked to his username.
If the user were to "login with facebook" however, and thus skip my registration page, would the information about categories still be saved?
Even looking at StackOverflow.com, I notice that all of my profile information etc. is being saved, but where? I used the login with facebook button so where exactly is my profile information being saved?
When you login with Facebook your site gets a Facebook ID and some other information (depending on what you ask for, but normally first name, last name, email address). You can then use the Facebook ID or email address to link it to an existing account in your system. If you can't find it, automatically create a new account with the details provided from Facebook.
You can use the Registration Social Plugin that facebook offer in order to get the data you need from the user while they register to your site using their facebook profile.
Also, as #JonGrant wrote, you can just use the api to get the needed information from facebook, just take into consideration that the more permissions you ask for, the less users will authorize your app.
Edit: Plugin now out of date, please refer to Facebook Login.
This was plugin removed as of API version 2.0. It will stop working
on July 30, 2015. Apps using this plugin should migrate to Facebook Login.

I'm searching for facebook login plugin for phpbb3 , by login i mean, if you have facebook acount and you want to log in to the forum, you don't have to register, just to type your facebook info, or something similar to this ?
Simple working plugin: OAuthorize phpBB
See this link: http://phpbbjs.sourceforge.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5, its still in beta.
You register to the board via your details from facebook, except the password, you need to specify it (it shouldn't be the same as in facebook).
My aim is to make a facebook fanpage for a client who wants his blogposts to automatically show up on his fanpage.
I've already read several posts here in the forums. I've tried several methods to auto-publish wordpress posts to a fanpage in facebook.(notes, ...) The last method I used was making an app and using the "Simple Facebook Connect" plugin for wp.
I got quite confusing with this. I have an app called "myClient" and a fanpage called "myClient". If I publish a blogpost, it automatically shows up on the fanpage but "via myClient". Is there a way on get rid of the facebook app? I don't want to show up the via-sentences because the app is just the connection between wp and fb and has no content at all (the content is on the fanpage)
Hopefully you can help me with that!
Thanks in advance.
Whenever you want to publish something on Facebook, you need a Facebook Application as it's the "trusted" connection between your source and Facebook (this is why you have the App Secret and all the authentication/authorization process..etc).
So, How to auto-publish wordpress post to facebook fanpage without a facebook app?
You can't! But what you can do is changing the App name to something the Client would agree on (and not being "already taken", of course!).
You can use the notes facility available. It is updated when the RSS address you provide updates.
Actually there is a way to get rid of the Facebook App - by using third parties automatic Facebook publishing tools like ZapRobot - in that way you actually lean on someone else's FB API APP. Note that then you give "manage_pages" permission to the third party. The process should be:
1) Register with ZapRobot - this is a Facebook login, you give them posting rights to your page
2) Define a job that posts A LINK (ignore their categories) while the link is pointing to the RECENT wordpress item on your blog
Good luck :-)
