[Plugin: Facebook] Post to author timeline authentication

@mayhem1969:
“Same problem. No yellow authenticate bar.”

Out of curiosity, what fixed this? It might fix it for psychesmartautismtm.

“Error: {“message”:”Unknown path components: /kyaccinfo:publish”,”type”:”OAuthException”}”

If you’re still seeing this error, it’s not the fresh version of the plugin. The url is /news.publishes, now. Can you verify? If needed, we’ll increment the version number to force an upgrade.

I did it all over again and still got the same error message.

Nothing fixed it. I have never seen a yellow authenticate bar, Yet. I have seen a yellow bar in posts that says “posts published”, followed by red error bar with error message above, followed by a yellow bar saying post has been posted on Facebook Timeline.

I am not seeing that error anymore since new install. See error:

Failed posting to your Facebook Timeline. Error: {“message”:”Object at URL ‘https://kyaccidentinfo.com/facebook-app-5/’ of type ‘article’ is invalid because it specifies multiple ‘og:url’ values: https://kyaccidentinfo.com/facebook-app-5/, https://kyaccidentinfo.com/facebook-app-5/.”,”type”:”Exception”}

@mayhem1969, you need to disable the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin and that will fix your problem.

Thanks, yes I thought that might be what was causing the URL problems.

I no longer get the error message when I post. However, when I go to submit the app, I get the following: “Missing Reproduction Steps”. When I press continue, I get “Insufficient Reproduction Steps.”

I looked at the plugin webpage prompt and don’t see anything about these prompts.

@matt Kelly, Oh cool, thanks. I’ll keep my eye out for the changes.

@mayhem1969: We’re going to change this soon (aiming for tomorrow) so that you shouldn’t need to go through this.

In the mean time, add some information in the repro steps that this you’re using the Facebook WordPress plugin.

I want to report a SUCCESS of posting to Facebook, with todays update. Thank you for fixing that.

However my MULTISITE experience is as follows. First I made a different Facebook APP for each of my multi-site blogs. Let’s call them FIRST APP for FIRST BLOG, and another SECOND APP for SECOND BLOG.

As a Multi-Site admin, with multiple blogs, as a single author (and admin) on all blogs/sites, I only got authenticated with the FIRST APP, (when I posted on FIRST BLOG) to my Facebook account/timeline, which now works for the entire network. Sound like that’s the way you designed it.

So when I posted to the SECOND BLOG in the network, which has the SECOND APP keys installed, I was not asked to authenticate with the SECOND APP, even though the blog has a different APP keys.

My SECOND BLOG post still goes to my timeline, but it may say it’s from my FIRST APP I authenticated with, even though the post is from the SECOND BLOG. The link will correctly go to the SECOND BLOG post URL, but the FIRST APP is used to describe the link coming from the FIRST APP/BLOG.

I invite anyone else to verify this. But it’s at least posting to the timeline. I was just hoping to have each blog, which has a different app, could post to my timeline and refer to the correct APP/BLOG.

UPDATE: I did finally get the plugin to recognize TWO blogs/apps and was able to post correctly from each one. I’m trying a third and it still thinks I’m authenticate to the FIRST APP. Not sure what the magic sauce was to get two working.

@matt Kelly
I had to disable the Yoast WordPress SEO along with WP Facebook Open Graph protocol plugin to make this Facebook plugin publish something on my timeline. I have successfully submitted the action and it shows pending over there.

I am not going to follow this steps again for my original posts.
I am not going to disable Yoast and I am not willing to disable WP Facebook Open Graph protocol unless your plugin provides the same functionality as WP Facebook Open Graph protocol plugin does.

Thanks

@sunnykinger What functionality is missing that WP Facebook Open Graph has?

MULTISITE Followup:

I was able to convince the plug-in to post to all three blogs, by LOGGING out of FB, then go into the FB Plug-in admin page and there it asked to authenticate again, and this time the correct APP page. So I have 3 blogs, attached to 3 APPS and each one WILL post to my timeline and WILL show the correct Blog it’s coming from.

I assume only I can see these postings on my timeline, they are not public until I complete the OpenGraph process. So, following the instructions I go back to the Open Graph page and…

I still can’t get the Open Graph “Submit” to take? I first was asked to supply an ICON and LOGO, which I did, now I get:

Built-in Action Types require that you provide instructions for using your app’s Open Graph integration as your Open Graph Test User in a functioning test environment. Failure to provide a functioning test environment will result in rejection of your Action Type.

I hope my posts are helpful to others.

So I will go to another thread as I’ve gotten past the posting to the timeline and now need to get past the Open Graph issue.

@matt Kelly

Actually, I said this in a wrong way. Sorry for that.
The Plugin WP Facebook Open Graph protocol adds og tags inside <head> tag of each and every post published on my blog.

Because I was testing your plugin. I actually published a dummy post and deleted it immediately otherwise it would have been pushed onto RSS Feed. So I was not able to check the effect of your plugin inside the source code of a post.

What I want to know is that does your plugin places og tags on every single post published.

WP Facebook Open Graph Plugin Adds the following tags

<meta property=”fb:admins”
<meta property=”fb:app_id”
<meta property=”og:url”
<meta property=”og:title”
<meta property=”og:site_name”
<meta property=”og:description”
<meta property=”og:type”
<meta property=”og:image”
<meta property=”og:locale”

Just figured out, I need to type in some dummy instructions into the edit box, and then continue on. I think I got it to the “Pending” status. So who is going to look at this now? Who approves it? How long does this take?

Thanks.

The WordPress to Facebook plug-in documentation page needs to include these extra steps. I know the APP system is made for way more powerful things than WordPress posting, but the minimal steps needed to get the APP working here is far more involved than any other FB plugin I’ve used for WordPress. Far more plugins post more easily to the timeline and this one.

I’m sure the FB guys will get this moving more easily in the future.

Yes, and we even add more than that.
