In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Displaying photos descendingGlad that helped you!
As far as changing the description, I have to think of how useful something like that would be to everyone that uses the plugin. It may warrant a filter that can be used to override descriptions, but again, I have to think about it. For now, if you have some JavaScript/jQuery skills, you can rewrite the text within the markup. Something like this would do the trick:
jQuery(‘#fbps-photo-464535993706456 .lg-fbps’).text(‘New description here’);
Just change the 464535993706456 to whatever the image ID is that you want to change the description of. Hope that helps.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Displaying photos descendingOk, I just put out a quick update for you (update to version 0.5.5 of the plugin). I added an ignore attribute to the shortcode.
So, best way to include this (until I build the UI I plan on building at some point) is to either look at the source where you are including the gallery. Each photo has a unique ID associate with it that looks like fbps-photo-479852585508130. You want that number part, so this: 479852585508130. Add that to the ignore attribute like this: ignore=”479852585508130″.
You can also find the ID when you look at the photo file in WordPress Media Library. Example: 10439532_311522255674498_7433145291522949475_n.jpg, the 311522255674498 is the ID you want.
If you want to ignore more than one photo, just add a comma between them: ignore=”479852585508130,480145718812150″.
Hope that helps!

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Displaying photos descendingGlad you found the ordering attribute. I plan on adding a UI in a future release to make that stuff easier and more visible.
I plan to add an ignore photo attribute, but have no had the chance to add that in. I’ll try and get that in for you as soon as I can.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Unable to add new albumsHi Tom,
I wrote pretty detailed instructions in the plugin. Make sure you have the latest version of it and you will see step-by-step details in the “Import” tab where you add new albums. Take care.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Unable to add new albumsIf you have been using the plugin for a while, Facebook now requires that you create a Facebook App before you can import any new photos. Go to Settings->FB Photo Sync->Import and make sure that you have added the Facebook App ID and configured the plugin correctly. If you aren’t sure, I have provided instructions on how to set up a Facebook App for the plugin on that page. Once it’s configured correctly, you can search and import new albums from your page and use the shortcode on your gallery page like you were able to before. Sorry for the inconvenience here, but Facebook made this change mandatory.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Gallery display is not centered.There is a CSS conflict where your theme is applying styles on the plugin’s CSS, causing it to display incorrectly. You will need to make some tweaks to your theme’s CSS to prevent this.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] An access token is required to access this resourceThis is more a result of the the photos not saving, which was an issue with Facebook API, which was fixed in the latest version of the plugin (you may need to resync or delete and reimport if you are still seeing that warning).
As it is, you wouldn’t have an empty gallery in normal situations, which is essential what the is_array() would be checking. I can add that check in the next version though just to suppress that warning.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photos not syncingHi razor4x4,
Sorry for the inconvenience, but Facebook deprecated their old API a few months ago, so I had to update to the new one, which requires (even with just reading public data) that you create a Facebook App, include the app ID and sign in to Facebook to add or update albums. There are instructions on how to add your Facebook App and what you need to do to get the plugin to work correctly in the most recent version of the plugin.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo limits and sync buttonThanks, I’ll update this ticket when the feature is available. Take care.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo limits and sync buttonSorry, that doesn’t tell me anything. If you use Chrome and checkout the Network tab in the dev tools, you can see all the communication between the client and the server via admin-ajax.php or the Facebook API and see where it’s failing to grab all the images. I tried importing your album both in Chrome and Safari and have had no issues.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo limits and sync buttonHi kred99,
I didn’t have a problem importing the whole album. First I would try to sync it. If that doesn’t work, try to delete and re-add it (the shortcode will stay the same), if that doesn’t work, try unchecking the box “Import images to WordPress media library?” before you import it. The images will then just use the images provided by Facebook rather than save the images to WordPress. Maybe you have a space limit on your server? I have no idea. You can also check the Network tab (if you use Chrome) and see if there is anything weird in the request. In order to prevent time outs, the object is first created, then it sends images over one at a time.
