Facebook for WordPress plugin unable to submit Opengraph Action - wordpress

I try to follow the Instructions here but I also consulted this. I was able to install the plugin, create my Facebook app, get the namespace, icon etc. even a test post worked, but when I click "submit", I get a dialog box that says this:
Built-in Action Types require that you provide instructions for using your app's Open Graph integration as your Open Graph Test User in a functioning test environment. Failure to provide a functioning test environment will result in rejection of your Action Type.
I've tried typing in the box, but when I click continue I just get this box again. I wanted to setup auto syncing and ditch Networked Blogs, but maybe I should have stayed with a working solution, given this has gone far from smoothly. How do I get the publish article action submitted and approved?

I actually got the Facebook for WordPress plugin to work, but I didn't find it actually made my blog better. It seemed to run slow, unexpectedly stopped working at times, and did not result in increased traffic. If you want to share your posts to Facebook and you can stand clicking the button yourself after you hit publish, I recommend the Professional Share plugin. If you want related posts, I recommend the Yet Another Related Post Plugin.
The Facebook for WordPress plugin and JetPack are just too big, they have too much cruft, they are not worth running in my opinion and I've been using WordPress since 2005. Just because a big corporation makes an official plugin, doesn't mean it is the best.

What is a good action to use to update the WP database from my plugin?

I need a good trigger to use in my plugin to kick off changes to the website.
I've got a custom plugin that goes on all WordPress sites that I build. I've got it set up to auto-update the plugin.
Occasionally, I need to push out an update across all websites. For instance, there was a plugin that started causing issues across all sites so I wrote code in my function to deactivate it across all sites.
Now I'm writing code to remove some old users that should no longer have access to the site. To deactivate the plugin, I used the action 'plugins_loaded'. Of course the problem there is that it runs EVERY time the plugins are loaded so it runs on EVERY page load. It's pretty fast but still not the right way to do it.
I tried to find some sort of way to kick that one off only when the plugin is updated. Really, I just need these functions to run once ever.
Is there a good action I could use to make sure that happens?

When i visit first time on wordpress website, its open another website automatically on first click

When I visit first time on WordPress website, its open another website automatically on first click anywhere, I don't know why its showing this strong text
Of course, it is better to have more details. But if this happened without any actions from your side, I would agree with Michela - it could be some malware on your website.
If you don't know what's going on under the hood, it is hard to cleanup the website completely.
As a first action, I can recommend you to check if your hosting provider have any backups for the website. It is possible that you will be able to restore to the point when the website was clean.
To clean the website by yourself, you can use various Malware Scanner plugins, like Wordfence or other specific. They can check for changes inside Wordpress core or standard repositories + they can check for strange, vulnerable and malicious parts of code. But be careful - if you have some custom code, it is better to check it with the code author.
If you'll be able to cleanup the website, I will highly recommend to go harden the website security. Some classic recommendations may be found in the official documentation - https://wordpress.org/support/article/hardening-wordpress/.

woocommerce api key not generating

i am trying to generate a key for woocommerce api, but for some reason i am not seeing anything generated. i don't get any errors from what i can see. just says that my "settings are saved" but no keys appear and no qr code is seen, as it shows in the docs. i made sure the enable api checkbox was checked. i've tried multiple times but always brings me back to the attached screenshot. i am working locally using flywheel, so my project is not live, not sure if that has to do with anything.
so i tested woocommerce on another project i had and it worked fine. ended up readding the plug in on the project in question and it started working.

Google+ deep linking

The docs here https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/android/share/deep-link seem to be hopelessly out of date, as I cannot find any of the mentioned (like "Edit settings").
Can somebody provide some guidance on how to make a deep link to my app work from within a Google+ post?
e.g., I would expect a link such as "appname://?id=12345678" to be a clickable thing that directs the user either to install the app or opens the installed app and takes the user directly to the content specified by the id. Instead, this link is posted as plain text...
Moreover, will I need to fight with every social network to get deep links to work properly? Does anybody have any experience making this sort of thing work on Twitter, Facebook, etc?

You may want to try using App Invites, which either will let the app receive data from the invitation if the app is already installed (e.g. a coupon) or will install the app.

Retrieve theme from WordPress Store

Good morning,
I have a new client who has been working with an overseas developer and they seem to have simply disappeared. We have tried numerous times to contact them, and I am thinking it is possible something happened to them personally as the site they were working on for the client is still up - and they're nowhere to be found.
The goal was to continue the work they started, as it does seem somewhat extensive - rather than starting fresh. I understand this may sound ridiculous, and apologize for wasting everyone's time if this is simply impossible..
Premise: the site uses wordpress, with the woo-commerce plugin installed - both of which I've used in the past. I have a new wordpress blog and woo-commerce setup for the "new site".
I've been unable to successfully retrieve whatever custom CSS they've written for this, and have really only been able to retrieve the rendered code.
Underlying question:Does anyone have any suggestions for retrieving what has been done on this site, or somehow extracting the work as a theme? We have zero ability to log in to this site via FTP or via the wordpress login. My guess is that I'll have to start the project over from scratch, which naturally would be very disappointing to the client as I am trying to save them some money.
