[Plugin: WPBook] Won't post to facebook fanpage wall

Hi John

I’ve spotted something that looks odd to me.

When in WPBook on wordpress it shows this…

Note: Your “Canvas Callback URL” setting in Facebook should be: https://www.thesillysausage.co.uk:/index

Why would there be an extra colon in there?
(maybe nothing, but only just noticed it)

Is that something to do with my links?
I’m still set to the wordpress default for permalinks.

Thanks
Mike

It’s certainly odd. I wonder if we’ve made some assumption somewhere about top level domains – maybe the .co.uk is something we didn’t think about somewhere?

The place in the code where that setting comes from, though, is quite simple:

get_bloginfo('url')

That just pulls your blog homepage as defined in your WordPress settings, General – as describe here

Can you take a look at yours? Does it have the colon and the index in there? I’d assume it should just be:
https://www.thesillysausage.co.uk

I’ve checked and it was….
https://www.thesillysausage.co.uk:/index

I don’t know how the colon got it there.
Maybe from my host???

I’ve now changed it to thesillysausage.co.uk/index

I’d say it should just be:
https://www.thesillysausage.co.uk/ – you don’t need the “index” at all.

Though I don’t *think* this is related to the problem you’re having. That one I haven’t figured out.
