OAuth is fine (app secret entered and refresh is good), but no posts!

Same issue for me bro.

Authentication needs to be Web. my issue was fixed.

Hi CookedPHP,

Was it working in the previous version of WordPress or the previous version of the plugin?

The plugin has drastically improved in the last two versions but that required some changes to the way the plugin authenticates with Facebook. For Facebook apps with all the default settings, it should work right out of the box.

Could you post a screenshot of your Facebook application advanced settings?

Facebook Developers > Apps > (Click your App) > Edit App > Settings – Advanced.

Those two settings are especially important.
App Type: Web
Require AppSecret Proof for Server API calls: Disabled

Thanks.

Thanks, just replying back: Alphega, your issue is different: mine was always defaulted to the Web as per the earlier instructions. I haven’t budged the settings since. Thanks Alphega ??

Hi Danny: Yes, it was working in the previous version of the plugin. I upgraded the WordPress to the new version first. Tested it, everything worked fine. And then I went to upgrade the plugin afterwards, refreshed, and then it failed. I am currently using the default settings. I’ll try and grab a screen and post it here for you. In the meantime I can try and remove the app and re-create another fresh one just as a trial… and see how that goes…

By the way, your installation instructions left the sandbox mode to on. I followed that as well everything should be new now, but it’s still blank with no posts ?? …

Hi there,

Which page are you trying to fetch posts from? And are you on WordPress 3.7 or 3.7.1?

Yes, sandbox mode is fine. The app doesn’t need to be published. ??

Hi Danny,
trying to install this plugin and having same problem – comments icon, likes icon, and timestamp show up but not the actual content of the post. Using RFP 1.8 on WP 3.7.1 . Authentication is Web and Require…is Disabled.

Thanks!

Hi @lh23.

Hmm. Are you using the widget? If so, did you check show link previews??

Yes, using the widget.

OK, getting weirder – if I click ‘show link previews’ the previews show up – just not the first one! But either way I don’t get the top post preview – possibly because it’s a link without an associated image?

That’s probably it. The link preview feature is pretty new, I’ll run some tests using your page as it is now. ??

Update: just updated the plugin to v1.8.1 which will fix link previews without images not showing up.

You might want to add this line to your theme functions.php file to hide all images in link previews.

add_filter('rfbp_show_link_images', '__return_false');

I’ve also updated the plugin CSS to remove the text-shadow, noticed your theme added it..

Very cool. Thanks for the help! I’ve moved the widget so the column is a little wider and can accommodate the pictures – but thanks for the option to remove them.

Absolutely the same problem here doesn’t work and says No Posts to Show (whilst logged in) Admins only notice: Did you configure the plugin properly?.

Link to Find us on Facebook works but no posts show.

Doesn’t sound like that is the same problem that I had (which was fixed by the new version). Were you able to follow the installation instructions?

Yes followed the instructions – although it was hard to find the group page ID as the website the instructions linked too didn’t work. Had to find another website.

As far as I can see all the app settings are as they should be but it just doesn’t work.
