Can't add App Page as a Tab anymore? - facebook-page

have you had or known of anyone experiencing issues recently (this week) with creating a new Facebook app (developers.facebook.com/apps)? The issue being once the app is created, you now have to create the community page manually. Then when you go to the community page associated with your new app, it does not give you the ability (anymore) to add the app to your page anymore??? Any help or nudges in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Facebook changes their policy quite often. As developers we are responsible for keeping our applications up to date. Here is a link to the Facebook Developers Blog, you should subscribe to updates from this blog and stay updated with regard to the documentation.
Your problem is detailed in this blog post and the solutions is very simple - just substitute your values for this URL and open it

Watson Assistant Wordpress Chat Plugin Not Focusing on / Scrolling to Newest Message

We have been developing a chatbot using IBM's Watson Assistant work spaces and conversation plugin for wordpress. Although we have nearly completed the actual chatbot, we have noticed an issue with the "customer" interface on our test page. For whatever reason, the chat window does not automatically focus on the newest messages. In other words, once the messages fill up the chat window, the user must scroll to keep up with the conversation, which is an obvious inconvenience for anyone wanting to chat. Any advice or suggestions would be welcome because.
I have tried several things to correct the issue, including clearing the site cache, but nothing has helped.
I also already posted on the WordPress support thread on 6/14/2018 (along with two follow up messages) have received absolutely no response from Cognitive Class. I'm just posting here to see if anyone can offer possible solutions.

WordPress Facebook comments error "Can't download"

I want Facebook comments on my images on WordPress. I'm using the Social Gallery Lite plugin for WordPress. It shows a comment lightbox for each image.
I have two problems:
The comments are not appearing in my moderation tool / I'm not getting notifications of new comments
Every time I add a new comment, I get an errormessage saying "Can't download", nothing more. When I refresh, the comment is added. When I add another comment on the same image, I don't get any errors. When I add another comment on another image, I get the error again.
This is what I did:
installed and acitvated the plugin
created a new app on facebook
copy pasted the APP ID in my plugin
made sure that I am the admin of the app
published the app (not even sure if this was necessary)
Am I missing a step?
Not really a coding related question here. So possibly on the wrong forum, best asked on the Wordpress community.
However, will attempt an answer here, it would seem that on the plugin itself does not need a facebook app to be created screenshot for app ID, it has a native app to do that. What you need to do is to provide your admin ID to the plugin to access your comments screenshot for admin access.

How to add Facebook connect to an asp.net website (for novice)?

I was wondering if anyone can point me to a tutorial / step by step guide / downloadable template (free or paid) / video about adding Facebook connect functionality to a website.
I've created several website but I'm self learned and inexperienced.
I have no knowledge of oAuth protocols simply basic asp.net (VB) of going to the database, getting data and posting it on the site.
I've gone through several posts on the matter but it seems that they changed lots of stuff from before 2012 (so most articles are irrelevant). I also went through Stackoverflow but the questions and answers are above my expertise.
My site is basic and was also built from scratch without using any existing methodology (like MVC etc.). I also tried working on a new site with the ready template Visual Studio 2012 sets up. The built in sign up form seems to work (though I do not understand what it does) and I removed some of the functionality which I think was created to enable Facebook connect since it bounced lots of errors I couldn't understood.
The end goal is to allow easy one step signup and signin while getting the user's email and maybe birth-date.
THANKS!

How do I make Wordpress and an ASP.NET MVC 2webapp appear as one app to the end user?

I want to use Wordpress as a CMS for our domains content pages, and also provide links to and from CMS and our service which is an asp.net MVC 2 app, and I would really appreciate some guidance on this subject:
The first approach that comes to my mind is to bind my wordpress site to "thedomain.com" and then bind the service to "service.thedomain.com", and just have them point to the different websites in IIS. In my opinion it does not provide a seamless experience since we are effectively moving from one domain to another when navigating between MVC and wordpress.
How would you solve the task of making a wordpress app and an MVC app appear to be one?
A co-worker came up with an interesting solution to a similar issue and to solve it he wrote a theme in WP that shows all front-end results in JSON. Then, he used ajax/js to pull in content by sending a link to the WP server and pulling back in the JSON-formatted results. I have been meaning write up a blog post about it but the concept should get you started.
Basically, a main-server-page loads all the HTML then hits the wp-server and pulls in the necessary content. The main issue with doing it this way was the page would be empty if the user disabled JS or something else went wrong, but we never had that issue on a lightly-used server.

FacebookConnect integration with ASP.NET

I'm working on a site with a Facebook Connect integration on blog posts. I want a Facebook .NET SDK that will allow me to:
Authenticate that a user is logged into FB. The actual login will be done via the typical FBML login button and simple JS with the XD Receiver.
Be able to push data from my WebForm to the user's FB profile, such as a status update.
I do not need to:
Create an actual FB application that goes on your profile, like "Cheer for the Red Sox" app or whatever. I do completely understand that I need to create an app using the Developer application but I'm not indenting to create a real full app.
Do any special stuff other than know the user's basics and push data to the profile.
Now are there any good starting points or SDKs I should look at. I've tried Facebook.NET and also peeked into FBConnectAuth. It seems like the former is too much and the latter is too little of what I need. However, that was a quick glance so are there any people with good experiences that did simple things?
Help is much appreciated!
Have you tried this example?
Post status to Facebook profile without Facebook modal window using ASP.NET
If you have any feature requests for FBConnectAuth, please let me know.

For me, Raya's integration of Facebook Connect is the best example out there. The author also has a good blog post where he describes how he integrated it with his existing web application..
