I think… and I could be wrong… that the widget is designed to work with a Facebook Page (like a business/organisation/celebrity publicity) rather than with a private individual.

Looking at https://www.facebook.com/script.yorkshire, it appears like an individual rather than a ‘page’, which is possibly why it throws up the error message.

You’ll see the difference where on https://www.facebook.com/platform you can ‘like’ the page, but on https://www.facebook.com/script.yorkshire you have the option to ‘add as friend’.

Last try, then I’m out I’m afraid…!

“https://www.facebook.com/script.yorkshire”

try “https://www.facebook.com/script.yorkshire” as the Facebook page URL

I’ve done some experimenting since updating to 1.1.6

If I tick the box to use Facebook comments on any of the 3 options (Posts/Pages/Attachments)a WORDPRESS comment box appears on my home page (this is set to a fixed page, not the ‘latest posts’).

I do not want comments on any of my fixed pages, and have stipulated this is the per-page settings by ensuring ‘allow comments’ is unticked on every fixed page.

If I do not tick the Pages tick box on the Facebook comments setting page, a WORDPRESS comment box appears on every fixed page.

If I tick the Pages tick box on the Facebook comments setting page, I get no comment box at all (which is the desired behaviour, based on my per-page settings).

I conclude there MUST be something in the plugin settings causing the WORDPRESS comments feature to appear where it shouldn’t.

As it stands, I have no ticks in the Facebook Comments setting page, and WordPress comments are appearing as expected.

I am also seeing this…

FB comments only show on posts where comments are enabled.

WP comments are now showing on posts and pages where comments are disabled.

Turning off FB comments removes comments from posts and pages where comments are disabled, and returns WP comments to posts where comments are enabled.

I’m not lobbying for WP and FB comments to be displayed together (while this would be my preference, I understand from other threads that this is not the aim), merely supporting the OP pointing out that I too have WP comments now showing on posts and pages where comments are disabled via tick box.

I have checked browser settings, cleared all browsing data (in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox) and installed 1.4.2 from GitHub this morning.

Clicking the Facebook login button on both the login screen and the admin screen still do not open the Facebook login screen on my site.

I still do not see the like button on my post pages.

I still do not see the comments box on my post pages.

I still do not see the like box in my sidebar.

It’s a real shame as in the past this was the only Facebook plugin I found to work as I wanted it to, but since 1.4 I have not been able to get functionality.

I have reinstalled Simple Facebook Connect in place of AWD, and while there are some things I do not like about the way it works, at least I can get Facebook integrated on my site with it.

I will keep checking back as this plugin develops and should I find it works for me again in the future I am sure I will come back to it.

Thank you for all your support in the past.

I deleted the previous install, and have installed the version available here. I am not getting any further using Safari.

Using Chrome and Firefox I get the Facebook login screen as a new page in the same window if I click the sidebar widget login button, or the Facebook Connect button on the login page. I get nothing if I click login on the admin page.

Filling in my Facebook login details does not seem to log me in to the site, although using Firefox I did get a ‘new device’ notification email from Facebook.

Sorry, no difference.

I have removed 1.4 and uploaded 1.4.1 to “facebook-awd” in wpcontent/plugins

Uncaught ReferenceError: FB is not defined facebook_awd.js:38
AWD_facebook.connect facebook_awd.js:38
(anonymous function) facebook_awd.js:72
f.event.dispatch jquery.js:3
f.event.add.h.handle.i jquery.js:3

Sorry – my fault, somehow had v1.4 and v1.4.1 installed, and 1.4.1 wouldn’t activate as 1.4 was activated…!

I can’t get the gitHub version to activate:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class AWD_facebook in /home/iburley7/6harrow.org/wp-content/plugins/AHWEBDEV-Facebook-AWD-cd18b7c/AWD_facebook.php on line 20

I was using html5. I have just changed the like button to xfbml – no change noticed.

I do not have the option to change the login button between the 2 standards.

The code and the message in the error console were taken after clicking the button on the Facebook AWD admin page on the dashboard.

I’m seeing the login button consistently in the sidebar widget, the login page, and the admin page on the dashboard, but they all appear to do nothing when clicked.

I never see the like button at the top of posts, even though it is turned on.

Is this what you were after?

I also get the message in the error console:

“Facebook_awd.js

Reference issue
Can’t find variable: FB”

I was just typing an update when your response came through ??

I will try opening the error console in Safari, but I’m no expert so you may need to point me in the right direction if what I paste in isn’t useful. I will post the results separately.

UPDATE –

Setting a featured image for a post does make %IMAGE% return a correct og:image tag. Will it be possible to make this work for the first image in the post as well, like the previous version did, or will we always have to use a featured image?

Could it be that I am not seeing the like button, comments box and like box widget as I am not signed in?

Does it have to use a featured image now?

In the previous version %IMAGE% would pick up the first image in the post if no featured image was used – and currently I am seeing my facebook app icon in the og:image tag in the debugger, not sure why it is picking that up?

The login button does not work in the admin area either for me.

Any idea why the like button and comments box are not appearing on post pages – definitely set to do so on the plugin pages?

Also, the like box I have set up in the side bar is not showing.

I’ve also got this message in the debugger:

“fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing. These tags are necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through rate.”

Not sure where to enter the fb:admins and fb:app_id to clear this message.
