 * I’ve found this so far:
 * Shortcode “facebook” is not working. Nothing appears in the page when a “Facebook”
   shortcode is used. I have tried with both default 2013 theme and X Theme.
 * Facebook link detection works ok. It’s the only working way to embed Facebook
   content.
 * When embedding a picture, it shows ok, but not the accompanying text you put 
   on Facebook. It’s also preceded by this warning:
 * Warning: Missing argument 3 for WP_Embed_FB::fb_api_get(), called in /home/lobogc/
   public_html/bearcarnival.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-embed-facebook/lib/core.php
   on line 161 and defined in /home/lobogc/public_html/bearcarnival.com/wp-content/
   plugins/wp-embed-facebook/lib/core.php on line 174

 * mmm not sure why this is happening. What do you mean by the X Theme? Is this 
   problem still occurring with the latest version?

 * Thanks for your interest. X Theme is one of the most popular WP themes around(
   [http://www.theme.co](http://www.theme.co)) . I tried with the last version of
   WP and upir plug-in at the moment of my post (2 months ago), but I haven’t tried
   again in all this time.
