 * First off, thanks for the application. It looks great and I am excited to use
   it once I get it going.
 * I am attempting to set up the Facebook Integration and am repeatedly receiving
   the API Error Code 191
    API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned
   by the application Error Message: Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed
   by the Application configuration.
 * What am I doing incorrect here?
    I’m trying to fully understand all of the jargon
   but am lacking here. Please help!

 * Now when I click “Login Using Facebook” I receive this alert:
 * You must register for an account using WordPress or Facebook before logging in
 * I’m so lost.

 * Hey,
 * You’ll just need to make sure that the link you access your forum from is entered
   as the redirect url in your facebook settings in settings -> wpbb settings and
   that it is also the same over at facebook e.g. “[http://mywpsite.com/forums&#8221](http://mywpsite.com/forums&#8221);
   or “[http://mywpsite.com/?page=12002&#8221](http://mywpsite.com/?page=12002&#8221);
 * Yes you’ll also need to register using facebook first, which basically just registers
   a WordPress account for you. Makes it easy for administrators to keep track of
   facebook registrations in my opinion, rather than allowing anyone with a facebook
   account to login and use the forum. Haven’t looked into it too much though, so
   it could all change someday, but that’s what you have to do atm.

 * Hi, I am having trouble with the Facebook integration also. I have been trolling
   through the help forums to see if I could find the answer but haven’t so far.
 * I followed the useful directions you had posted on the F.A.Q.’s which explained
   step by steps how to set up the Facebook App. Where FB asks for ‘Site URL’, I
   entered the following address where the forums are located: “[http://www.birdsleuth.org/ambassadorhome/forums/&#8221](http://www.birdsleuth.org/ambassadorhome/forums/&#8221);
 * When I was done, I went to test out the “Register Using FB” option only to get
   this message: “Unable to load the registration form for this ID. You may have
   previously blocked this app on Facebook. Go to your Facebook privacy settings
   to unblock this app. (Error: Invalid ‘client_id’.)”
    Otherwise I was getting 
   the following message: “The redirect_uri URL must be absolute”
 * What does this mean and how can I fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance for your
   help.

 * After further investigation, the problem, we have realized, is that in the WPBB
   settings, the “My App ID / API Key” form will not accept more than 10 digits.
   Our FB App ID has over that number–15 digits to be exact.
 * Help?
    Thanks.

 * Vessel65 and Bridgetoindia,
 * This has not yet been resolved for me. Vessel, it seems that the app ID was automatically
   changing for us as well.
 * Still looking to get some support on this…

 * Hi Ileana,
    Turn off ‘sandbox mode’ in the Facebook app and fill the App ID again.

 * Hi, “Sandbox mode” was already disabled and I believe there is no way to change
   the App ID. You can only reset the “App Secret”

 * Has anyone found a solution to this? I really like the forums module, but FB 
   integration is KEY.

 * No luck yet… still hoping for some sort of response but also willing to use another
   forum platform if I come across one that looks good. If anyone has any suggestions,
   or has found an alternative, please let me know.

 * Admins? Does this mean we should use another plugin all together?
