 * It seems like this plugin will not work with the new version of the Facebook 
   API, if you create your FB app after 4/30/2014. You now must get your app approved
   to publish posts. There are two problems with this:
 * 1. It looks like you need to give FB access to “test” a post..not doing that,
   when my site does not allow for the public to sign up, just authors have accounts.
 * 2. It says before I can submit for approval I need to test publishing an article.
   But when you try to authorize an account, it says it won’t give access to publish,
   and then nothing ever happens.
 * Basically, you’re in a catch 22, because to submit you need to test publish, 
   but you can’t even test publish.
 * Here is a link to another plugin developer’s support that shows what exactly 
   the issue is: [http://www.nextscripts.com/known-issues/facebook-issues/](http://www.nextscripts.com/known-issues/facebook-issues/)
