Welcome to WPBook

WPBook is a plugin for integrating WordPress and Facebook. It provides robust functionality, including:

  • Support for a view of your WordPress blog as a Facebook application, including full pages and posts, with embedded media. This view is highly customizable, with custom headers/footers for each post, share links, and links to each post on the external WordPress blog.
  • Support for comments posted by users within that Facebook application view; these are treated as native WordPress comments.
  • Tabs for Facebook profiles (individual) and Pages. Tab view can include full posts but strips out tags that Facebook does not allow (embedded videos, iframes).
  • Support for posting excerpts to Facebook wall (on individual profile and/or Page) with urls pointing to either the external blog permalink or to the Facebook application view.
  • Support for importing to WordPress comments made against excerpts posted on Facebook walls.

As a result, it is admittedly quite complex to setup.

These instructions break the tasks up in to the following steps:

  1. Basic Facebook Application Setup and Plugin Activation
  2. Add to Profile / Tabs
  3. Publishing Excerpts to Facebook Wall(s)
  4. Import Comments from Facebook Wall(s)

These instructions also contain reference screenshots for major settings; if you're still unable to configure WPBook, please post in the support forum. Be sure to provide links to your Facebook application, your WordPress blog url, and specific information about where you're having trouble.
