 * Hi, I’m new to the plugin and testing it out on my site. After setting up the
   base plugin, then login and registration, when I try to login using my FB account,
   it takes me to my WP registration window. (It does the same thing with Janrain
   Engage plugin which I’m also testing but I’d prefer your’s because of the publishing
   plugin.) I get the feeling its something fundamental in my WP admin setup. Any
   ideas?

 * Don’t you have to have a user with that Facebook info in order to login with 
   it?

 * 1. You need to be using the latest beta for this to all work properly: [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/simple-facebook-connect.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/simple-facebook-connect.zip)
 * 2. If you don’t have a user with the same email address as the FB user, then 
   it will go to the registration screen.

 * Too funny. I thought something went wrong on the upgrade when I only saw the 
   base plugin and not all the sfc add-on plugins. So I reinstalled it manually,
   then when it was still that way, I realized that you tidied it up by putting 
   the add-ons into the set up menu. Nicely done! (guess I scanned the readme.txt
   too fast – its probably in there!)
 * P.S., I’m a little unclear from the literature, can this plugin push comments
   one way or two ways (or anyways)? I’m migrating from Wordbooker and switching
   for the FB login/registration function and for the comments push (which wasn’t
   working in WB).

 * The FB login worked great with my FB account but since it showed the application,
   I tried it with my wife’s FB account (she’s already registered on the site). 
   It took me to the WP registration page. Her FB account email is the same as her
   user email. What went wrong?

 * If the email matching doesn’t work, log out of Facebook, then log into the WP
   site normally as the user in question.
 * Then, on the Users->Your Profile page, you can manually connect the user’s profile
   to a Facebook account (this is why you log out of FB, so that you can log into
   FB as the user in question here).
 * This allows users to connect their WP and FB accounts manually if they choose,
   or if they use different email addresses, or whatever.
 * Email matching can fail sometimes if Facebook is returning a proxied email address
   to the plugin or if capitalization doesn’t match, etc.

 * > P.S., I’m a little unclear from the literature, can this plugin push comments
   > one way or two ways (or anyways)?
 * It’s a little complex…
 * Using the Comments plugin (which allows anonymous users to comment with their
   FB credentials instead of filling in name/email/website) will offer them an option
   to share the comment to Facebook. This pushes the fact of their comment (not 
   the comment text) to their own Facebook profile. Sort of a way to share their
   post. This shows up as a checkbox under the comment box and is meant a way to
   draw their friends back to your site.
 * Using the Publisher plugin will push new posts you make to your Facebook Profile
   or Page. If you use the automatic mode, then new posts are auto-pushed where 
   you want them to go, *and* the resulting post IDs on Facebook are stored in the
   postmeta on your site. This last bit is for…
 * Comments pullback will scan those (potentially two) automated posts on Facebook
   for new comments once every 6 hours or so, retrieve the comments, and sorta integrate
   them into the normal comments displayed on the post’s page itself. These are 
   not real comments and are not stored in the WordPress database, so they can’t
   be replied to here directly. This is why the reply link will be missing from 
   them. A little CSS and you can show that these comments came from Facebook. A
   demo of this can be seen here: [http://ottopress.com/2011/sfc-1-0-fb-comments-integration/](http://ottopress.com/2011/sfc-1-0-fb-comments-integration/)

 * Thanks for quick responses Otto. I think I may have dug myself a hole on the 
   install. Does SFC create a FB automatically on activation or am I supposed to
   create one? It looked like it was using an old FB app I had made for something
   else so I cleaned out (deleted) my old “unused” FB apps. SFC set up was still
   showing an API key and App secret, which I presumed was left over from the deleted
   app. I made a new FB app and put the API and Secret into the SFC fields. Now 
   I’m getting error messages when I SFC>Extended Permissions>Grant SFC Permissions.
   Also no tokens are found. Yeah, I know – stupid – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix
   it – and I did. Sorry. How do I get back to where I was?
    UPDATE: ITS WORKING
   WITH THE NEW APP I CREATED NOW. APPARENTLY, IT JUST TAKES A WHILE – REALLY – 
   TO “PROPOGATE” ON THE SERVERS, JUST LIKE THE FB NOTICE SAYS WHEN YOU CREATE THE
   APP. The only thing still bugging me is that your instructions didn’t say to 
   create an app. The link to “applications wall” doesn’t take me to the FB developers
   page or say anything about creating an app. So was I right in doing so?

 * Sorry for being so verbose. Its seems to work for me but when I test it with 
   my wife’s FB account, I get the registration window again. Her user and FB emails
   match, so that shouldn’t be the problem. Any ideas?

 * The connect shortcode and widget was removed, mainly because it didn’t work most
   of the time.
 * The like button is still there and works fine. Just make sure you turn on the
   like module.
