It is easier to maintain them there.

In this case the problem was that the same session was not restarted by the server. You have to make sure, that the session cookie stays alive and the correct session will be used again.

You can also try to disable other plugins one by one and try to get your token then. Maybe another one interferes with this one.

Hi,

you have to use Facebooks OpenGraph Protocol in your meta tags of your template to tell facebook which image to use for your post.

Hi,

we found out, that on some servers this happens because of missing certificates. Please see your error log on your server to get more informations on this and try to solve that problem first if it exists.

Hi Thomas,

reading through the documentation of facebook there might be another way to submit a picture to facebook directly.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/link/

I will see if I can get this done during the weekend to supply you with an updated version. Let me know if this would be an option for you.

Hi Christian,

sorry for my late answer. Have been very busy for the last days. It seems, that you did not enter a correct Facebook App-ID in your settings. May you check that please? You have to create that Facebook App first and put the App-ID from there in the plugin settings.

Hi,

facebook does not know which image to take and the plugin does not tell facebook which to use. You can tell facebook which image to use in your layout. Just edit your header file and add a meta tag like this:

<meta property="og:image" content="<?php if function_exists('wp_get_attachment_thumb_url')) { echo wp_get_attachment_thumb_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)); }?>" />

Here is a tutorial for this (Step 2 and 3 are interesting for you):

If you want to specify more things for the shared link on your facebook page you can take a look at the supported meta properties from facebook here:

Hi Kristen,

had no computer at the weekend so I was not able to answer your questions. Can you please check in your Facebook Account Settings if your app is shown under app settings? If yes try to remove it and try to get an access token again.

Hi,

this seems to be a problem with another plugin which also has the Facebook API in it. You should try to deactivate some facebook plugins which interact with the API and see if autosharepost works after that.

Hi Kristen,

the fields you mention are always greyed out because they only have some informational character.

Did you login to facebook with the user who administers the page you supplied in the Page ID field? Did you fill out the “App ID” and “App Secret” fields?

Hi,

can you tell me what type of message you selected to post on facebook?

Sounds like a good feature. Will see when I have a bit of time again.

English Version:

@leuktra: These are the rules in this forum. I was on holidays and could not answer your request. You are free to send me a mail to [email protected]

I want to tell you, that the developers of most open source projects develop the software you use in their free time. The best in open source software is that you can contribute yourself if anything is not the way you want it.

German Version:

@leuktra: Das sind leider die Regeln. Ich hatte Urlaub und habe daher nicht geantwortet. Sie k?nnen mir gerne eine E-Mail an [email protected] schreiben.

Ich m?chte freundlichst darauf hinweisen, dass wir bei fast allen Open Source Projekte die Freizeit der Entwickler geopfert wird. Es steht Ihnen allerdings frei sich an der Entwicklung oder des Schreibens der Anleitung zu beteiligen. Gerne lasse ich auch Ihre Arbeit mit einflie?en.

Hi,

can you please contact me by mail to [email protected]? I’m german too and I think in this case it is better to have a direct contact. Maybe you can give me some access to your wordpress installation so I can test this.

Hi,

did you activate cookies? Seems that if you leave your wordpress admin page that your session is gone. If you use cookies and your session is still alive then you should be redirected to the settings page and the token will be saved in the settings.
