    Hmm. I think I noticed my own discrepancy. That post was posted using the share on Facebook feature (which is why it has the note icon in the screen shot). I posted another one today, and left it alone, and it has the blog icon instead, so maybe this time around, it will work properly, since I didn’t muddle around with it.

    Closing this as resolved. Working completely fine.

    hmm could i get you to help me get this to work on my blog? The install guide had several things that changed in facebook or didnt work at all. I cant even get wpbook to post to fb much less import comments.

    got threw that step.

    the next to steps are where the problems come in.

    i cant add a user to the app or cant figure out how to, when you click on the “check permissions” link on step3, it does not pull up the app, infact i didnt realise you were supposed to even get prompted for the app when you call its cavis until i saw yours do it.

    I figured out how to get my own userID but no idea how to get a session key.

    The fb app i have works. I have a post to fb plugin that works, but i wanted to utilize the comments import in the wpbook plugin.

    Ive almost got the wpbook plugin working too im guessing but when you get to the part where your supposed to put in the userid and the session keys everything goes wrong.

    I believe this is beyond the scope of the help I can offer. Perhaps the developer, when they have time, can assist you.

    As it stands, I believe with the WPBook addon, it’s best to disable any other facebook-related addon while you’re setting up and testing this one. Just a suggestion.

    if you did nothing out of the ordinary then everything should work fine. Purhaps i did something wrong with the app creation process. mebbe you can help me by answering a few questions.

    1: do i need to add a user to the app? if so how do I do that?
    2: do you have to add the app to your tabs? I noticed you didnt have your apps tab on your wall in the image above.
    3: was anything different on facebook from the setup instructions if so what were the changes?

    1. No, you do not need to add any users. The app just has to exist, and be set up properly.

    2. No, you do not have to add the tab. (in fact, I cannot get mine to add to a tab anyway, but it doesn’t matter)

    3. Not that I recall. The screen shots from the instructions differed slightly, but all of the settings that were required were there. (In other words, I had no trouble finding them.)

    ok so in step3 when you click the check permissions link, you see the page is shows in step3 from facebook? fb doesnt prompt me to allow an app or anything it just shows my blog. I think if i can get it to show me that page i’ll be golden. my issue isnt with wp its with facebook.

    I created a new app just to test it and i noticed that at the end of step1 it says to Check “Users” and “Facebook Pages”, that wasnt even on the app creation page.

    does my app prompt you to allow it like yours does?

    When I click on your link, I get this screen:

    http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b147/jdhorner/b2e1f1e7.jpg

    (e.g. it takes me right to your app, which looks like your entire site encapsulated into an iframe, and it gets cut off on the bottom and right hand side.)

    What I did was install the wordpres plugin first, and left it unactivated. Then I separately went to Facebook and made a new application. I filled in the Site URL and the Canvas URL, AND the Canvas PAGE.

    For you, I believe these would be the settings:

    Site URL = http://www.onykage.com/
    Canvas Page = onykage
    Canvas URL = http://www.onykage.com/

    Set it to iFrame, and auto-resize and save your changes. Make note of the API and Secret keys.

    Go back to WordPress WPBook plugin settings. Leave them all blank and at their defaults. Fill in ONLY the API key, Secret key, and the Canvas PAGE name (onykage), as above. SAVE THOSE THREE settings. within the plugin (save button at the bottom).

    Once those three settings are saved, click on the “Check Permissions” link, which, following your settings, should be this:

    http://apps.facebook.com/onykage/?is_permissions=true

    Though, I’m not sure if you can just load up that URL, or if you have to click the link within the plugin page. Anyway, for ME personally, it brings up this screen:

    http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b147/jdhorner/25a319f5.jpg

    Note the 9 digit number as your userID. Then click on the “grant permissions for your userid” link, and you should get a 34-character infinite session ID. Note that as well.

    Go back to the wordpress plugin, and put in the user id and infinite session key. Then save settings. Then set all other stuff the way you want it, and save settings again.

    After that, posts I made on my blog directly appeared on my personal facebook wall, like this:

    http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b147/jdhorner/a401421b.png

    Comments that are made are then cross-posted back to my blog, automatically.

    I’m not sure what you’re doing, but instead of just the blog posts of yours showing up on your canvas page, your entire front PAGE is showing up. So either your root URL (www.onykage.com) is NOT your blog root (where the wordpress blog resides), or something else is going on with the way you have your site set up. :/

    dude i really appreciate your help. thus far im lost. The way my site is setup the wordpress install is actually kind of hackish. The WP is the blog posts only. That shouldnt be an issue tho as all of the other WP plugins work just fine, and i got a plugin called Facebook Comments, and it posts to facebook but its more like a suggested read rather then a direct wall post like your do, and it doesnt do the comments integration which is what i really wanted to utilize.

    I will play with this more and see what i can come up with, i have the distinct feeling that I will end up writing my own plugin and learning the facebook API itself.

    Thanks again for your help.
