    Hope this is helpful to both the author and users, I don’t normally review plugins!

    1) What’s Good: Useful and once configured, works pretty well. FB Live is HOT right now, and this capitalizes on that and helps keep people on your site rather than bouncing them to FB. Shortcode couldn’t be simpler to implement. No args.

    2) What’s Bad: Nothing _BAD_ but the instructions were just a little tough. I understand that because it’s not the clearest process from the FB side, but you just need to clearly follow the instructions. Just remember to not actually try to make the app public because then it has to go through review. Keep it in “Dev” mode.

    The “help” email address in the plugin bounced. That’s concerning, but might just be a glitch.

    3) What could be better: I’d love to see the plugin swap in an image when there is no Stream from FB. Rather than just show a big empty box, let me assign an image that will show instead.

    Would also be great to see if we could pull a list of the last n videos from the page.

    Overall, it’s nearly perfect and you can’t beat the cost. If you’re into FB video, this is a good plugin. Consider donating and supporting this author.

    Hey MrMintCondition! Thanks so much for your kind words. That’s unusual that the email bounced. I have no idea why that could be, I have been sending and receiving emails fine lately – did you try to send any large files or files with any unusual file extensions perhaps?

    Anyways it’s still early days in the plugin and I intend on making an instructional setup video soon because yeah it can be a little tricky to setup! I wish I could make it easier but it’s just how Facebook works unfortunately.

    On your other points they are good suggestions and something I will look into. Especially pulling a list of past videos, this is definitely on my mind. At the moment though I am trying to concentrate my efforts on making sure the plugin works as it is and making sure people know how to use it. Thanks and stay tuned for updates 🙂

    Haha I stand corrected, I accidentally put a typo in the email address, it should be northern not nothern so feel free to reach me there. This email address will be corrected in a new release soon. The email address on the right hand side of the plugins is correct though 🙂

    Hey MrMintCondition!

    Please see version 4.0 it adds the 2 features you requested: the ability to display previous live videos and also display an image (or text if there’s no live video). Check out the plugin settings for more info. Have a nice weekend!
