    We’ve released a new version of the Facebook plugin to support July 2013 changes to Facebook Platform, improve reliability, and some extra features for WordPress 3.6.

    Comments API changes

    The noscript fallback used to display Facebook Comments for visitors without JavaScript (including search engines) has been updated to support Facebook’s new threaded comments APIs.

    The total number of comments stored on Facebook’s servers is now included in get_comment_number() requests for direct display in themes. Templates using comments_number() will continue to see a comment count dynamically inserted by the Facebook JavaScript SDK.

    More reliable Facebook app access token retrieval

    An inputted application identifier and application secret is verified with Facebook’s servers and exchanged for an application access token when saving new credentials. This verification method now happens outside the Facebook PHP SDK and its sessions, improving reliability.

    Redesigned icons

    Facebook updated its square logo in April 2013. Icons bundled with the WordPress plugins have been updated for the dark theme backgrounds of MP6 and WordPress 3.6.

    Facebook PHP SDK update

    Facebook’s PHP SDK now includes a proof of an application secret; the Facebook plugin contains this latest version of the Facebook PHP SDK.

    Shortcode filters

    Facebook for WordPress supports the new shortcode_atts_{$shortcode} filter in WordPress 3.6.

  • What’s also new

    Setup guide and help pages on Facebook Developer no longer reflect facebook.com’s App pages.

    Plugin no longer accepts app ID and secret.

    I started getting this warning on July 18. Any clue of what is happening here:

    In the last three hours 100% of the calls to the method GET /comments resulted in errors.

    I have made no template that affect the plugin.

    Plugin does not accept app ID and secret.

    @jack Lail – I’m seeing that on my application (which isn’t this plugin) so its something changed in the backend at Facebook.

    Thanks @steve … I couldn’t figure out what was up with that.
