    WHen using the "Like" button on my WordPress page and posting the link to the post on Facebook, the characters åäö is not being shown correctly on Facebook. I saw an old post(1 year)here regarding this but the solution in that post was not valid any more.

    Any idea why it is like this?

    Då var det äntligen dags för Frankrikepremiären! Jag fick erbjudande från Darrell att följa med honom och 5 andra britter till Frankrike på deras årliga karpresa. Kändes som en stor ära eftersom ingen i sällskapet fiskat karp mindre än 20 år och en är medlem av BCSG - Brittish Carp Stu...

    Try the development version of SFC (1.3-alpha). You can find it here:

    If it still has the problem, then I'd need a link to the post in question so as to see the content.

    Thanks Otto, the site is a Church site so I don't want it connected to my personal facebook account (which I assume SFC do, I might be wrong though). I just want to post a link in facebook and have the preview display åäö.

    "Connected to my personal account" is something I often see people talk about, but it just makes me think that they're using Facebook wrong somehow, or using terms in a way I don't understand them.

    Facebook only has "personal" accounts. You have your identity, and that's that. You can't connect to Facebook in any other way, because you're a person and you have an account.

    SFC connects your website to Facebook using what FB calls an "Application". This is really just a name for the point of connectivity.

    Now, that Application is owned by somebody, or multiple somebody's. All those owners are people, and they have personal accounts. But again, the App isn't important, it's the connection point only.

    You may have a Fan Page for your non-personal-brand. This may be for the website, or the church, or the entity-of-your-choice, but the Fan page too is owned by a person or some multi-person-set. SFC supports posting to Fan Pages as well as to people's individual timelines.

    Each module in SFC does something different. The Login module lets people log into their WP account with FB credentials. The Publish modle lets people cross-post their Posts onto the FB Profile or Fan Pages. The Comments module lets people leave comments using their FB credentials.

    So, I'm not certain what exactly you mean when you say that you don't want it connected to your account. It has to connect to somebody's account, and "personal" accounts are the only kind of accounts that exist.

    With regards to the character set problem, the development version of SFC has fixes. If those fixes fix the problem, great! Less work for me. If not, then I'd need examples to be able to reproduce, find, and fix the issue.

    25/2 – Korda Dark Matter
    walktheline.boplatsen.se
    Jag har sedan jag började fiska efter karp använt mig av Kryston Heavy Metal putty och varit nöjd med den, lite hård att jobba med när den är kall men helt ok. När Korda nu lanserade sin nya Dark Matter Putty så tänkte jag att den måste vi prova, skulle ju enligt Korda själv vara lättarb...

    26/3 – Östra Dammen
    walktheline.boplatsen.se
    När vårvädret slog till på allvar idag så kunde jag inte annat än att ta mig till Östra dammen på lunchen, det blev en banan och en promenad i vårsolen runt dammen. Jag spanade efter tecken på karp men tyvärr såg jag inget. Tog mig bort till den lilla viken med de döda träden där karp...
