[Plugin: WPBook] Just can't get it to work (even after update) (2 posts)

    About 6 months ago WP Book stopped working on a few of my sites. I tried to resolve it but couldn't, and gave up.

    I just tried it again on one of the sites, ran the update, and it doesn't work.

    When I create a post and hit publish I get this error:

    No post id returned from Facebook, $fb_response was /n and $fb_page_type was and $wpbook_description was test and $my_title was This is a test

    When I go into the plugin settings (which at one time did work) when I do the following:

    1. If you are having issues, please begin by Checking permissions for stream publishing, reading, and offline access.

    When I go to that link I get a facebook page that says:

    An error occurred. Please try again later.

    This was my previous post: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wpbook-upgraded-plug-in-not-working-read-the-update-notes?replies=12

    I just followed the last post on the thread above, and the last paragraphic didn't happen ("You should see at the bottom of that page a link which says ").

    Also, when I go to the app page on facebook it just reloads and reloads and reloads.

    This website has now been moved to HostGator.

    Does this plugin work?

    Yes, it does. There are just many many ways to configure WordPress, as well as many ways to configure the Facebook application, and FB changes it's own configuration screen more often than I've kept up with.

    If your Facebook application was created before October of 2011, it works fine.

    If your Facebook application was created after or during October of 2011, it will only work if your WordPress blog is accessible over https. (More on that here: http://www.openparenthesis.org/2011/10/04/the-future-of-wpbook)

    To troubleshoot:

    • What's the URL of your blog outside Facebook? Your normal WordPress URL
    • What is the URL of your Facebook application? apps.facebook.com/something
    • What do you have set in the settings for your Facebook application as the url of your site?
