John – did you register at https://jogscotland-lochaber.org.uk ? I can’t see your user account at all on there…

“Require AppSecret Proof for Server API calls:” is (and always has been) disabled.

I’ve changed the app secret, and updated the settings in WPBook. There was no whitespace before or after the previous secret. Likewise there are no whitespaces before or after the new app secret that I have put in, but it still provides the same error message.

Do you want to go to my Worpress site and create a login, and I can give you admin access to take a look at the setup?

Using the Graph API explorer, I can post to the group feed ok.

In WPBook, when I enable the option “Show errors posting to FaceBook stream”, this is the error that occurs when I try to post:-

Caught exception in publish to group Invalid appsecret_proof provided in the API argument Error code: 0

And these are the contents of wpbook_pub.txt – I tried publishing both with and without a feature image – both failed.

I should just add to my above comment, that as part of my testing, I have deactivated all plugins except WPBook, I’ve also de-authorized the app in Facebook, then in the WPBook settings have checked the permissions and gone through the process of re-granting all permissions in Facebook again, but it’s still giving me the same No post id error….

John – Updated to 2.6.5 but I’m still getting the error regarding No post id returned from Facebook….

Hi John – I’ve updated to 2.6.4 and the check permissions is now working ok, but I’m still getting the error when publishing a post to Facebook:-

No post id returned from Facebook, $fb_response was /n and $fb_page_type was and $wpbook_description was test and $my_title was test

On the Stream/Wall options, I have selected the option to “Publish new posts to the wall of this page/group:” and have put the correct ID in the Group ID field (132017353494120), and I’ve chosen to Publish as Posts.

I am not trying to publish to my own wall.

Hi John,

I’ve pasted the access token, and here’s what I get:-

Application ID 538253799574754 : LJScotland
User ID 100006480657592 : JogScotland Lochaber
Issued 1376766667 (on Saturday)
Expires 1381950667 (in about 2 months)
Valid True
Origin Web
Scopes create_note manage_pages photo_upload publish_actions publish_stream read_stream share_item status_update user_groups video_upload

and when I try to publish a post (with WPBook enabled), I get the following error:-

No post id returned from Facebook, $fb_response was /n and $fb_page_type was and $wpbook_description was test and $my_title was test

When I enable the debug options of WPBook and check permissions, this is the error that appears:-

This page is where you can check and grant extended permissions, which enable WPBook to publish to your personal wall and/or to the walls of fan pages.

The Facebook profile ID you are currently logged in to Facebook as is . You have defined 902280384 as your Facebook user id in WPBook Settings.

Your Facebook Profile ID must match the ID with which you are logged in to Facebook, or else an access token will not be stored and publishing to Facebook will fail. Please update the “YOUR Facebook Profile ID” setting in WPBook settings to match the userid shown above.

FB profile has granted these permissions:

Caught exception in getting permissions for user: Parser error: unexpected end of query.Error code: 601

I wondered if it might be a browser issue, but it doesn’t appear to be.

Found it! Better WP Security is blocking it. I can re-activate Better WP Security after generating the access token and it then everything works OK – it just needs disabling during the access token generation ??

Ah-ha. I turned off ALL plugins except for WPBook Lite, and got a message saying that the access token had been saved. I will keep repeating this after enabling each plugin to see what one is causing the conflict.

Hi John. I’ve seen an entry in the Raw access logs (not the error logs) on my hosting:-

<em>My IP address</em> - - [16/Aug/2013:10:14:21 -0500] "GET /?wpbook=oauth&code=AQAMM44kU2bZgS5Emzio1K4cVwbiHQ_jvqt5zvfyGpoKST5vKjKS8dT7WsGM4QFsLfqMI_KFghlGXjw3sJChLd4sIYx6v9fEwIxqKa6M_k-q1ya1kVrJJjXQg2BNIqZSwNm4yT6IhJfWqlS3CRKdVJZaXrGZ-ui6sGLJNKpwMbFKnlrQ5vRY7tc1wKDdbE-wGXfzEEfLJHposCSNnjyD9EFKqOuhTUaNrsGe2NyxAaM0AG0_8pYC0okP60qhmK1N2nY6cCkbHBzDZWpePS3D8H_t5dvK8PZ9pr5FF5uzy_q8WfQqhYdMGQ-KTyvrKFs-UqI HTTP/1.1" <strong>414</strong> - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; Trident/6.0)"

Code 414 makes it look like the URL is too long, and my hosting provider suggested using POST instead of GET. Is that configured in your plugin?

I do have access to the error logs, and am literally on to my hosting provider (hostgator) as I type this, to see if they can point out anything.

OK, you are correct in that I still had the “App on Facebook” settings. I’ve taken those out, leaving just the Website with Facebook option enabled.

The redirect_uri is correct.

I’ve removed the app from my own privacy settings so that I could go through the re-generation of an access token. I click on Generate an Access token, follow the prompts on Facebook to allow the app to have public access, authority to write etc…, and then it takes me back to my website where I end up with absolutely nothing in the browser window, and the following URL:-

https://mywebdomain.com/?wpbook=oauth&code=AQAgw3Z8YFN9Pox5TJyUpC1Fikpm8YCAkUOOCLonLR8jIaE06P-Bd1o5hTYqyF3uNf1FA66tV-Bi62cjjlrrI9JpfJk9X2LY4TH-hMO_HXEhT3jEc_6fwufsgMlAsxPr4sr88N4xa0a_w_VjzCeZai_xWPBT4SnugalKmRBbFvU_A268dUJ9I-Ql4m3cCEbNmKwyEXYTsyNyNn4V1tdd5qXM5T_hIH1vCbKMzYDGxCZ1r1Kj5hBu4bPF3-GTcHtXYUEYH0ZmZLKPpbYkjagRMvNeLQI73n7yFGxqbFlPOU1gskPTMC7zWBoJvUFG7NAoZmw#_=_

Actually, sorry – it’s Facebook that shows the blank page. The URL shows
