hmmm… The fanpage link did not take.
The fanpage is called theviolent.net with an id of 106085362766820.

You appear to be using some other plugin that prevents WPBook from rewriting the permalinks inside the FB app – or you’ve edited the theme.
Here’s an individual post: http://apps.facebook.com/theviolent/poetry/deeper
That should be the permalink shown inside FB, which then allows comments.
In terms of posting to your wall of fanpage that isn’t automatic – have you granted the appropriate permissions?
Have you followed the directions included with the plugin?
Thank you for your quick response. I am probably guilty on both counts. I have a plugin called “custom permalinks” which may be the culprit. And I did modify the document in order to incorporate the yapb plugin for the thumbnail images as well as the full size images on the post.
What is the correct permalink behavior supposed to be? Is the link in the app supposed to be pointing to the app permalink rather than the permalink on my site?
I did notice as well, after I posted a comment on the link you posted, I was redirected to my site. Was it supposed to remain on the app site?
As far as posting to my wall and to my fanpage, I believe I have granted the app the approprate permissions according the instructions given. Though, I may very well have done something wrong or missed something altogether.
Thanks again for your help.
I rechecked the directions on publishing to the wall and to the fan page. I think I may have indeed done them incorrectly, but I think I did it right this time. I’ll see if it is working correctly.
Ok, with the corrections I was able to publish to my wall, but still nothing to the wall of my fanpage.
And I’m still not sure how the permalink behavior is supposed to be.
Again, thanks for all your help.
re: permalinks
What WPBook does is alter the permlinks to point to the posts inside your Facebook app rather than on the blog – it changes the domain to apps.facebook.com/your_app_name/ and then appends the permalink (like /2010/05/23/your-blog-post/) to that.
In other words, it should be changing this: http://theviolent.net/poetry/deeper
Into this: http://apps.facebook.com/theviolent/poetry/deeper
When you post a comment you should get redirected back to your Facebook app not your site.
In terms of posting to the fan page, have you granted the necessary permissions?
When you visit this page: http://apps.facebook.com/theviolent/?is_permissions=true
Where it says:
You are also listed as the admin of these pages:
If you are the administrator of pages which do not show up in this list, you need to ensure you have added the application to the pages first.
Does your fanpage show up in that list? Does it say that permissions have been granted?
Yes sir.
Here is the text, from the page.
This page is where you can check and grant extended permissions, which enable WPBook to publish to your personal wall and/or to the walls of fan pages.
Your userid is 100000956600650
You will need to enter that number into the WPBook settings page on your WordPress install.
Click here to grant permissions for your userid. (This is required if you intend to publish to your personal wall OR any fan pages.)
You are also listed as the admin of these pages:
<strong>theviolent.net (106085362766820), This page has granted stream.publish permissions to this app. </strong>
If you are the administrator of pages which do not show up in this list, you need to ensure you have added the application to the pages first.
Follow the detailed directions included with the plugin.
Hmm. So even after you get to that point, when you post new blog posts they don’t show up on the fanpage wall?
Do you have “show errors publishing to Facebook stream” checked in WPBook settings in wordpress?
Do you get an error message?
Do you have publishing to your personal wall AND fan pages enabled, in WPBook settings?
I turned on the “show errors…” in the option settings.
I posted a new post. Here’s the link.
http://theviolent.net/mydreams/12-14-2007-team-meeting
The WPBook Error I received is “Caught exception: Requires user session”
The new post did showup on my personal wall, but not on the fanpage wall.
I do have publishing checked on both options.
I appologize. I think I crashed the whole thing. I tried to uninstall the plugin and reinstall it and went through the etire list of steps again, and now when I go to click on click here to grant WPBook the permission to publish to your stream.
When I click on that link it takes me to this page
http://apps.facebook.com/theviolent/?is_permissions=true
But there are no permissions. It simply looks like my site apart from facebook.
I’m sorry for all the trouble.
Not sure what’s happening – did it seem like the plugin was successfully re-installed?
Looks to me like this link is also not working:
http://apps.facebook.com/theviolent/
Did you change your application on the FB side? Different API key or Secret?
Is the plugin enabled in WordPress?
I thought the plugin was both successfully uninstalled and reinstalled. I don’t think I made any changes to the app on the facebook side.
I double checked the api and secret keys. The plugin is enabled. The app is added to my profile and my fanpage.
I am really not sure how I messed it up so poorly.
I do notice I am getting a javascript error on my wpbook configuration page. It is as follows:
Webpage error details
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

I do not know if this is having anything to do with why I am having trouble.
