Getting wrong user ID?

    When associating the WordPress account with a Facebook account (at the end of the profile settings on WP) I’m encountering the following error.

    Once associated, it shows a Connected profile and a link to my FB profile. The URL of the link is my FB profile, but the text is an ID number, 17 digits long. That same ID number is used on the property=”fb:profile_id” and property=”fb:admins” OG tags.

    The Object Debugger shows an error with those tags:

    Object at URL ‘XXXXXXX’ of type ‘article’ is invalid because the given value ‘YYYYYYY’ for property ‘fb:admins’ could not be parsed as type ‘fbid’.

    (YYYYYYY is the 17 digit number mentioned before).

    If I get my user ID from http://graph.facebook.com/USERNAME, the ID I see there is completely different, only a 9 digit number.

    Am I doing anything wrong, or is the plugin getting the wrong ID#?

    If it is a recently created app then it will be using V2 of the Facebook Graph API which uses application specific user IDs i.e. they are NOT real facebook IDs, they are unique to that application/user combination.
