 * I’m unable to setup Facebook plugin.
 * On settings page “Application information” I’m entering App ID and App secret,
   pressing save, but nothing happens. Data is submitted and page loaded, but input
   boxes are now empty.

 * Same here, using most recent wordpress and tried in several browsers > input 
   boxes stay empty.
 * I noticed several topics about this issue but without answers/solutions… :-(.
 * Anyone?

 * I’m having the same problem. I’m running WP in Windows Server 2008r2 and MS SQL
   Server 2005.

 * I cracked it for myself.. I first installed an older version (1.3.1), then entered
   and saved the information, and after that updated to the newer version. Worked
   for me..

 * ..BUT I now do have problems with the next steps on publishing posts to FB timeline(
   no button to link profile to FB appears in profile page). So perhaps the method
   I used isn’t our solution and the data isn’t stored correctly after all..

 * Have someone tested the latest version (1.5.2 on 2013-8-20) about the issue?

 * Plugin version 1.5.1 added settings error messages for additional types of failures
   when verifying the app id and secret with Facebook’s servers in exchange for 
   an app access token.
 * The most common reported reason for a failure to save application credentials
   is server compatibility with HTTPS URLs.
