update to 1.5 disable show_posts

I have the same!
If you check any options under the tabs section, it won’t get saved.
I think this isn’t a good update. This is the second bug in this version.
I reverted back to 1.4.1 until this is fixed.

Hi johanna,

probably a bummer question, but where do you get 1.4.1.
like box php call does not work anymore so i need also to revert to 1.4.1

Hi Thomas,
That is a good question. I had a backup with the 1.4.1 version. Maybe it is also online somewhere, but I don’t know where.
But if you want it, send me a message with your emailaddress through my contactform here: https://www.patriciakaas.nl/blog/contact-2/ and I will send you the 1.4.1 plugin files with We transfer.

Can somebody help us please?

For those interested, I disabled this plugin and used this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin
You have to have a FB App ID and then you can just add the Javascript code to the header.php of your child theme and the second code to a text widget in your sidebar.
Works like a charm.

Hi,
normally from the plugin page just go to the very end of the page, under Contributors & Developers click on Read more then on Browse the code then click on Tags and there you have old versions, but on this plugin you don’t see 1.4.1 version…

As for the developpers facebook plugin i use the iframe version, simpler for the lazy, just copy paste wherever you want.
I’m just not so happy to see almost 600kb used in facebook js scripts, have a test in gtmetrix.com ??

I’m having the same problem, where the FB posts have stopped displaying. This started about a week ago. I use the shortcode in my page, not in a widget, so I don’t know whether Johanna’s solution would work for me.

Does anyone know why this might have happened or if a fix is coming?

Thank you!

hi, you could try Johanna’s solution but when the code is generated choose the iframe version and copy paste it in your page (before pasting i would click on text version instead of visual)

Hi Marties,
Yes it isn’t good that the javascript file is 600kb. ??
Wasn’t that the same in the Simple facebook plugin?
I still don’t understand why the author of this plugin isn’t responding.

Johanna

well, i dont have time to measure the weight of the 1.4.1 version at the moment, i think the developer is also “under the flow”, get noticed that it’s a free plugin…

good day

Hi everyone!

Yes, show_posts is deprecated. You can use timeline=true for shortcodes, there is also new options for events and messages tabs. Use events=true and messages=true if you want those added. Small header option is also available, use small_header=true.

If you check any options under the tabs section, it won’t get saved.

Due to WordPress widgets specific you may need to drag a new widget to your sidebar, even though the old widget have updated UI.

I still don’t understand why the author of this plugin isn’t responding.

get noticed that it’s a free plugin…

Good catch @marties. We do respond to the support threads, but unfortunately not as much as we want to. Mainly because we have a lot of other work to do that we get paid for.

Sorry for any inconveniences.

Hi Ilya,
Thanks for that. That worked for one of my sites. I will try on the other ones.
And sorry if I was impatient, but it is annoying when a plugin stops working correctly after an update and there is no support.
Having said that, thanks for all the work you do!

Johanna

No problem @johanna2patricia.

but it is annoying when a plugin stops working correctly after an update

Totally agree.
