OK, I researched this after I posted the question and see where Facebook is enforcing this limitation (safeguard).

I am using WPBook to integrate WordPress and Facebook for a Boy Scout Troop. My hope is to get the boys to the point where they take over the maintenance. Teaching them to admin WordPress is . . . shall we say “difficult”. But they are all experts in Facebook. So the grand idea I had was to have them update Facebook instead of WordPress.

Fotos was easy with fotobook. I am still searching for a calendar app integration tool (looks like I may need to use google calendar as an intermediary). WPBook has me almost all the way there. Here’s is what I would like in a perfect world:

For admins only, a button would exist somewhere on a status update that would say “Post to WordPress”. Clicking on the button would either push the post to WordPress or flag it to be pulled by WordPress.

Thank you for being so responsive!

OK, everything is starting to come on-line. I’m learning about the bells and whistles. My posts from WordPress are showing up in Facebook just fine. Comments from Facebook are returning to WordPress appropriately. the only thing that isn’t working is a new Post on Facebook does not create a new post on WordPress.

Is that by design? Or am I missing something else?

AHA! I didn’t catch that I had to authorize my user ID even if I didn’t want to post to my profile. The documentation may need updating to reflect that for idiots like me.

The post I put on my WordPress page showed up immediately on my Facebook page. Yahoo!

I wrote a comment on the wall of the facebook group page but it did not show up on my WordPress page, yet. I assume there is chron job involved, how long should I wait?

Is there a way to get previous blogs to move to the facebook page?

Thank you for the help!

No help\hope?

when I click on “Check Permissions” I get:

This page is where you can check and grant extended permissions, which enable WPBook to publish to your personal wall and/or to the walls of fan pages.

Your userid is 1111111111

You will need to enter that number into the WPBook settings page on your WordPress install.

Grant permissions for your userid. (This is required if you intend to publish to your personal wall OR any fan pages.)

You’ve indicated you wish to publish to this page: 123456789012345

This page has granted stream.publish permissions to this app.
You are also listed as the admin of these pages:

Troop 395 (123456789012345), This page has granted stream.publish permissions to this app.
You can use the page IDs of any of these pages in the WPBook settings to publish to that page’s wall.

If you are the administrator of pages which do not show up in this list, you need to ensure you have added the application to the pages first.

Follow the detailed directions included with the plugin.

When I click on “Grant Permissions for this page” It takes me to the application in facebook which displays all of the posts from my word press page. It also gives me an infinite session key.

Back in my WPBook Setup I have my API and Secret keys added along with my Canvass Page.

I have checked “Publish new posts to the Wall of this Fan Page, Application Profile Page, or Group: PageID:” and added 123456789012345.

What am I missing?
