Thanks for fixing this! It now appears as an option in the Add an Image box like it should.

Indeed, I had feared as much. If anyone has suggestions for newer plugins that allow easy insertion of flickr photos into blog posts, I’m all ears. Thanks!

I just went through and deactivated all other plugins, though, and with only wpbook activated (no other plugins active) I get this same error message when trying to check permissions for wpbook:
——
This user_id has granted these permissions:

Caught exception in getting permissions for user: Invalid API keyError code: 101
——
That stays the same until I reactivate the Google Analytics plugin at which point the cookie error comes back, so I think that’s the plugin responsible for the cookie error. But like you say, that’s not really the concern here, it’s the Invalid API message that seems to be the problem.

I think I have discovered the root of that problem! I had the entire URL in the App ID, and removing everything but the ID number makes it work. I don’t know how I managed to miss this on all my previous attempts. What a d’oh moment!

I was then able to re-grant permissions and tested it and it’s working. Thanks for all your help! My apologies again for such a rookie mistake.

I am not using HTTPS to access WordPress admin – I would actually like to but I haven’t figured out how to make that happen. (I’ve seen a plugin for making your blog or certain pages be HTTPS only, but I still want people to be able to use http if they desire.)

I just double-checked my wpbook settings and it does indeed say app_id.

Yesterday it did seem to work for one post, but today I had another post scheduled and it did not publish to fb, so maybe yesterday’s was a fluke?

The app URL is https://apps.facebook.com/librariannewpimport/
My blog URL is https://annearchy.com/blog/

Thanks for the ideas and the speedy response!

FWIW, I had a pre-scheduled post that published after I posted this question, and oddly enough, wpbook is working – it posted to my facebook just like it should. I hadn’t expected it to work given the error message listed in my original post above, but I’ll take it!

However, in the interest of figuring out what actually happened:

I don’t have any non-letter characters in the name of my facebook app.

I tried clicking the Check Permissions link using IE instead of Firefox and got the same error message. I hadn’t logged into facebook ever on IE and it did actually prompt me as it was recognized as a “new computer” under their security options (which I have set to alert me if my account logs in on a new computer). So I’m guessing that rules out any residual cookies being the culprit.

I had seen that post about trailing whitespace and checked it earlier, and I just double-checked it again – I don’t see any.

This doesn’t seem related, but I’ll mention it just in case: my usual setting for facebook is to have HTTPS browsing enabled. I had to change that in order to get anywhere with the Check Permissions link. When I have fb set to HTTPS browsing, it won’t load the Check Permissions screen at all – it just gives me a general error and says to try later. I discovered this through trial and error. It’s not a big deal to me to disable HTTPS for a few minutes while I make changes to my app, so it didn’t bug me much. Just mentioning it here in case it rings any bells with the other issue.
