@matt – I deleted the last few posts that were posted on the Facebook Page from the WordPress plugin, because it looked tacky and not complete.

This is one of my Facebook Pages: https://www.facebook.com/asian.fashion. The way that we post photos now with links has much better engagement than the automatic publish feature from Facebook from WordPress, as that hardly gets any engagement or likes. We posted the same post and the results were 300% different in engagement. If Facebook can build a feature from WordPress to post the featured photo, title, and link as we are doing on our Facebook page. I can personally say blog owners would like it better.

The error screenshot is here: https://www.southasianlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Screen-Shot-2012-06-20-at-9.28.28-PM.png

The Posted to mention Pages does work, I just needed to enable the that Facebook Page to allow people to post on that Facebook Page’s timeline.

You can also take a look at our other Facebook Page for Fashion Style Magazine. There are some links on there that were posted by the Facebook Plugin that are not showing properly either. URL: https://www.facebook.com/fashion.style.raaj.

@matt – All of the above.

@matt – Thanks. The caps were by mistake. ??

@matt – Also when I disabled the other plugins, they actually helped with the Facebook Opengraph meta desc and photo. Now when it posts to the Facebook Pages, I only just see the title with no description.

When I posted a post, I tired all the features. It gave me a yellow bar with success to the mentions and the only error was what I posted above. But when I checked to see if they actually posted, this is what I found.

The post to your Facebook Page: Worked.
Posted to mentioned friends Facebook timeline: worked.
Posted to mentioned Pages: Did not work.
Posted to your timeline. Did not work. (Even though it showed it did)
Post published. View post.

Let me know your thoughts?

@matt – I got this error now.

Failed posting to your Facebook Timeline. Error: {“message”:”This action is not allowed to set a user message because this property was not requested for approval.”,”type”:”Exception”}

@matt – Ok will do and test it out.

I will try this method as well now. Thanks Matt.

@matt – I got this error.

Failed posting to your Facebook Timeline. Error: {“message”:”Object at URL ‘https://www.southasianlife.com/entertainment/celebrity/aishwarya-rai-top-sarees/’ of type ‘article’ is invalid because it specifies multiple ‘og:url’ values: https://www.myblogurl.com/somepostlink/, https://www.myblogurl.com/somepostlink/, https://www.myblogurl.com/somepostlink/.”,”type”:”Exception”}

@matt – It gave me no message. But it published it to our Facebook Page. The only message I got was from wordpress saying “Post updated view post”. That’s it.

@matt – Thanks, I have posted another thread on that topic.

On this current topic, I as well after I updated the new version of Facebook, cannot see the new posts on my timeline. Don’t know why?

Hey Matt, thanks for the update. Quick question, how can we disable the like option on certain pages on your wordpress blog?

Try disabling all the plugins if you are still having issues to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then one by one activate the plugins to figure out which plugin was causing the conflict.

The option to ‘publish to authors timeline’ if it unchecks after you have authorized the Facebook app, its no big deal, as all that does it create a pop up window to the Facebook Developers page that shows you what to do. As long as you have followed all the instructions, it should work.

Cloudflare has nothing to do with your website blog not working with the Facebook Plugin.

yes I have, it didn’t work.

And here is the sidebar.php file.

<div id=”sidebar”>

<!– WIDGETS –>
<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Ad 300’) ) : ?>
<?php endif;

wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().

?>
<!– WIDGETS END –>

<!– POPULAR ARTICLES –>

Not working for me. I did the PHP check, and I am running php 5.2. Any suggestions?
