A simple plugin to Sync Facebook events to The Events Calendar plugin by Modern Tribe.<\/p>\n\n

Get The Events Calendar plugin:\nhttp:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/the-events-calendar\/<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Download the plugin archive and expand it<\/li>\n
  2. Upload the sync-facebook-events folder to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/ directory<\/li>\n
  3. Go to the plugins page and click 'Activate' for Sync FB Events<\/li>\n
  4. Navigate to the Settings section within Wordpress and enter your Facebook App ID, App Secret & UID.<\/li>\n
  5. Ensure The Events Calendar plugin is installed and configured - http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/the-events-calendar\/<\/li>\n
  6. Press 'Update' to synchronize your current Facebook events for display within The Events Calendar.<\/li>\n
  7. Synchronization will continue to occur on the schedule you set. You can always update manually if\/when needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Q: What is the Facebook App ID and App Secret, and why are they required?<\/p>\n\n

    A: The Facebook App ID and App Secret are required by Facebook to access data via the Facebook graph API. \nTo signup for a developer account or learn more see - http:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/guides\/canvas\/<\/p>\n\n

    Q: How do I find the Facebook UID of the page for which I wish to synchronize events?<\/p>\n\n

    A: Goto the page you're interested in - ex. https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/webtrends
    \nCopy the URL and replace 'www' with 'graph' - ex. https:\/\/graph.facebook.com\/webtrends \nThe UID is the first item in the resulting text. In this example it is \"54905721286\".<\/p>\n\n

    Q: Do my Facebook events get updated on a schedule?<\/p>\n\n

    A: Yes, You can choose the update interval and also update immediately when you press the 'Update' button from the Sync FB Events section within settings.<\/p>\n\n

    Q: Why do I get a blank screen when running an update?<\/p>\n\n

    A: Check your Facebook App ID, Facebook App Secret and Facebook UID. One of them is probably incorrect.<\/p>\n\n

    Q: Why doesn't Modern Tribe just provide this functionality within their own plugin?<\/p>\n\n

    A: They incorporated this one, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n
