I've just made a Wordpress blog, where I'd like to use Facebook Comments plugin. The plugin itself looks to work perfectly fine (I can log in, switch accounts, post a comment etc.), though when a comment is posted, it doesn't appear in author's FB News Feed or Activity Log ('post on facebook' box checked).
See example
Could you please let me know what could be the issue here?
WP 3.8.1
Plugins:
Facebook
Facebook Open Graph Meta Tags for WordPress
Edit:
So I use a Bliss by Bluth Company theme currently, which has FB social plugins implemented (including Likes and Comments), but I've also tried using Facebook Comments plugin from developers.facebook.com generator. The result is always the same - comment in posted on the blog, but it never appears in FB news feed or activity log.
Since I'm unable to post a pic here, I've put in on imgur.com - the comment on the pic never showed up in my FB AL, neither any of my FB friends has seen it.

Thank you in advance

I am working on a website that will have social media features and I am using the PeepSo plugin for most of the features. Unfortunately, this plugin does not allow the admin to approve posts and comments before they are posted, and this is the functionality that is the most important to me. I found a way to approve the posts - I integrated the User Submitted Posts plugin with PeepSo, but I want the comments to be approved too.
When a user submits a post it is displayed in the PeepSo activity stream, and then they can click on it and it will be displayed as a WP post. Then they can comment on it using WP comments, these comments can be moderated before they are posted.
But the users can also comment directly from the activity stream and these comments are handled by PeepSo and are posted directly without admin approval.
So I want to try some of these workarounds:
Delete the PeepSo comment function, which will only enable the user to comment after clicking on a post, then the comments will be handled by WP
Find a way to code the WP comments to be displayed in the PeepSo activity stream, so that the user can comment directly from the stream and the comments can be approved by the admin before they are posted
Find a way to make the PeepSo comments from the stream to be approved by the admin before they are posted, so that there will be no need for the WP comments.
I can delete the PeepSo comment function, but I don't like this idea, because it makes user interactions a bit harder with more clicks required. I would like to be able to make option 2 or 3 possible, but I am worried about messing with the PeepSo plugin code. Maybe you can help me with how to do it and not crash my website?
PeepSo has an option to integrate PeepSo comments with WP comments, but it only works one way - gets rid of the WP comments, and only allows PeepSo comments on the entire website.
Please help me, I would really appreciate that.
Please notice that PeepSo used its own comments with his own Tables.
They don't integrade the comments from Wordpress but they deactivate them.
I have a simular problem with Borlabs Caching tool, While PeepSo used its own comments, Borlabs Cache can't update the post automaticly after new comments.
Before the community dismisses this - this is not a repeat of other issues with the Facebook submission process. Were a non-profit looking for help getting this running.
We have many articles on our website but we are not able to get them to appear in https://childmind.org/feed/instant-articles
I am not able to see where you instruct the FB Instant Articles WordPress plugin which content you want to publish e.g. our articles aren't in /blog but rather in /article e.g. https://childmind.org/article/adhd-behavior-problems/
Everything else is configured seemingly properly. Does anyone have an idea?
After we get articles in the feed, we can submit for review.
NOTE: We have edited and saved articles to "trigger" them being added but has not worked.
Articles sound like a custom post type which you need to manually tell the plugin by using a filter for your CPT.
add_filter( 'instant_articles_post_types', 'add_post_types', 10,1 );
function add_post_types($post_type_array){
array_push($post_type_array,'post'); // Standard post "blog"
array_push($post_type_array,'articles'); // The name of your custom post.
return $post_type_array;
}
This should then get pull the articles for the feed as long as everything else has been set up correctly. Taken from a post on the WP Plugin forum.
Note: Also, Facebook have their own validation process once you get this working before you will start to see them on Facebook.
I'm a little new to web dev and coding so forgive my basic question..
I'm working as a sales and marketing consultant for a software company. The company has requested i create a mailchimp campaign linking to a landing page on wordpress, with downloadable e-book for subscribers. I'm having difficulty with this; does anyone have a recommendation or solution to integrate/automate the two?
To be more concise, there's three actions required: Sending the campaign (Mailchimp), redirecting to the landing page (Wordpress), and then downloading E-Book AFTER subscribing (Wordpress). All these actions have been completed; I just don't know how to automate/integrate the actions together.
i realize it's not a coding question per se, but I assume some coding may be needed.
Thanks :)
P.s. I searched for a similar question but to no avail. If there is one, please link the answers :)
Have you tried the mail chimp plug-in?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/
-Good luck [:
I have had to create a similar workflow, below is my process.
Create a list on mailchimp
within this list, in the forms tab, create a form to get name and email info of people wanting to download your Ebook
open 'embedded forms' in the same list and copy the HTML code
Using the Bloom plugin connect mailchimp and wordpress.
selected the mailchimp list you want to connect
select 'custom HTML form' and paste the code
make final aesthetic changes to from
Bloom will give you a 'shortcode for the optin' which can be copied into a black wordpress page. (this will show your form)
Create a landing page on wordpress
standard page nothing special but link to you wordpress page with your form
Set up automation on Mailchimp that whenever someone signs up to your list they get an email with a link to the Ebook.
That's the overview, with many learning opportunities along the way ;)
Our CMS uses permalink, for example this one:
www.kingmagazine.se/artiklar/king-kroner/20120713/10-korthallare
When a user is trying to share this URL by pasting it into the "update status" field on their Facebook homepage, Facebook seems to try fetch a different URL to get the open graph info, as illustrated in this image:
http://i.imgur.com/NjYM9.png
The page fetched seems to be an error message from the site. The image is not relevant to the article specified but rather contained in the footer of all pages.
However the CMS also has internal URL:s, such as this one (for the same article):
www.kingmagazine.se/artiklar/?id=152539
When sharing that one on Facebook, the correct data is fetched, as illustrated here:
http://i.imgur.com/wV5q3.png
I have tried digging in our server logs to no avail - it seems like Facebook is requesting the wrong URL and not the complete permalink. I have also tried the Facebook Lint but haven't found any reason.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Sorry for the garbled links but Stackoverflow spam prevention said max 2 links and no images. :(
Just wanted to get back to this question if anyone else has the same problem, as we eventually found the solution.
The reason of the faulty information on Facebook was that the editors in the CMS had a preview function which showed the article as rendered to the visitor. These pages (as they included the site header/footer) also contained Facebook like buttons through the Facebook social plugin.
This meant that Facebook was 'pinged' of the article before it was actually published as the editor was previewing the changes. When Facebook tried to fetch the article, an error message (with an incorrect HTTP status code I might add) was returned which Facebook then cached.
Silly enough. :)
I want to publish the same post which I just published in the worpress blog to blogger & facebook automaticaly. I know it possible and there are various plugin out there. But cant find one free to use plugin which do this.
I used a 'network publisher' plugin. Its free for facebook by need to pay if we want to add another on like blogger or other. But its working good for me in facebook
Now I am really worried what to do for my blogger to get automatically posted from wordpress.
At last I got the blogger (.blogspot) to get my post automatically from the wordpress.
The blogger can be configured to post via email. There in the blogger account we have to create a secret email address in the setting tab
format look like this - name_of_the_site.secretcode#blogger.com (so that a mail send to this address will automatically posted in the blogger)
And then in the wordpress install a plugin named CROSSPRESS which do all the required stuff
where simply put the email address and the signature which we want to show underneath each post.
Test it by creating a new post and publishing it. You will get the same in blogger
DONE......
It is now possible to post directly using Blogger API (since 4 weeks)
I think you just have to wait a plugin that integrate this feature.
Here is the API announcement : http://code.blogger.com/2012/06/blogger-api-v3.html
Simply set up Blogger and Facebook to get your Wordpress site RSS feed. Look at Blogger and Facebook for docs on how to do that.
Cross post seems to have issues in that line breaks don't get carried across properly and it seems to generate ASCII character 160 in a few random places as well at the moment.
