 * Facebook Connect helps Facebook users log on your web site by using their Facebook
   credentials.
 * It’s similar to OpenID, but of course, Facebook is the sole provider of the credentials.

 * It works perfectly under Firefox but not with IE & Chrome.
 * The Facebook Connect button is not displayed
 * Did you experiment the same thing ?

 * Try putting
    `<script type="text/javascript"> FB.init("YOUR_API_KEY_HERE", "PATH_TO_PLUGIN/
   xd_receiver.htm"); </script>` In your footer.php theme file.

 * I’ve installed it but whenever the plug-in is active my page takes forever to
   load…
 * Anyone have the same issue?

 * Is anyone using it on WP 2.7?
    I didn’t try it until now. I activated it and 
   the widget, and tried the FB auth, after hitting submit/okay/login on the FB 
   page, all I can get out of any page (admin or not) on my page is:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function username_exists() in /data/atothet/htdocs/
   blog/wp-content/plugins/fbconnect/fbConnectLogic.php on line 137
 * I logged in with another browser and disabled the plugin, so all is back to normal,
   but.. this is a BAD/serious error. however, I only post to see if anyone has 
   any fixes?

 * I’ve succesfully got the Facebook Connect to work on my site. I had to play with
   the css and php files. Works in Firefox, but NOT in IE and it makes my site SOOOO
   slow.
 * Anyone have any idea how I can tackle these issues? I’m not sure where to start.

 * FIXED the Internet Explorer IE issue. You need to make sure to add this to your
   header.php
 * <html xmlns=”[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221](http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221);
   xmlns:fb=”[http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml”&gt](http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml”&gt);
 * HOWEVER….I’m having issues with the “invite freinds” it loads in my sidebar and
   not on its own page…any ideas?

 * I made an alternate implementation of this that just uses Javascript, but all
   it enables is logging in via FB for adding a comment and then posting back to
   your FB news feed if you want.
 * It requires some knowledge of JS/HTML/PHP, but it’s all just copy-paste from 
   the details I wrote up here: [http://dentedreality.com.au/2008/12/implementing-facebook-connect-on-wordpress-in-reality/](http://dentedreality.com.au/2008/12/implementing-facebook-connect-on-wordpress-in-reality/)

 * Thanks, can’t wait to try it out! Is there further development being done with
   this? What about integrating it with the wp-admin functions of posting new blogs
   or new pages? I’ll look into it when ASAP and hopefully work off of what you 
   have already built.
 * Thx again.
