In reply to: [Facebook Tab Manager] [Plugin: Facebook Tab Manager] Not parsing shortcodesSo the shortcodes are associated with the theme you are using? In that case, you need to look at the style.css file of your theme and see if you can identify the lines that add those button effects. Add them to the custom CSS for your tab or to the defaults for your tab manager settings.
Your theme’s default css is not included in an fbtab because it would often cause undesirable effects like setting the body background color to something that doesn’t make sense in a FB context.

In reply to: [Facebook Tab Manager] [Plugin: Facebook Tab Manager] Not parsing shortcodesNot sure I understand what’s going on in these examples. What’s the content that’s output by the shortcode?
It looks like the same content in both examples, but without styling for the links. Is it those button links that are supposed to be output by the shortcodes? Question would be how the plugin you’re using there achieves that effect, and I don’t have enough information.

In reply to: [Facebook Tab Manager] [Facebook Tab Manager] Reveal Tab Reverse Settings?I’ve never seen that error, and so far I can’t reproduce it.
Can you check the post ids?
It should be ?fbreveal=[visitorpostID]-[fanpostID]

In reply to: [Facebook Tab Manager] Reveal TabSorry I didn’t reply sooner. I did put out an update recently that tweaked this feature and tried to clarify the UI. I’m tracking this topic, so if you try the latest release and still can’t get it working, let me know.
See if this answers your questions:

I haven’t done a lot with Contact Form 7, so I may be missing some subtleties, but I did get it to work with this approach.

In reply to: [Facebook Tab Manager] How to remove share buttonsSocial media plugins are typically output as a filter on the_content. Remember that the checkboxes are for filter functions you want to EXCLUDE. So for example, on my site I check the box for sociable_display_hook
As a shortcut, you can also append minfilters=1 to the query string of the url you record in facebook’s developer tool. So something like https://www.carrcommunications.com/fbtab/clips/?minfilters=1 should work. That turns off all but the most essential filters, like the one WP uses to format paragraphs.
Make sure you have the latest version of the plugin because this is one feature that I’ve had to make several tweaks to.

In reply to: [Facebook Tab Manager] Problems with CSSIn some cases, you may get a better effect by being sure to use a more specific style reference within #content (the content area for your fbtab for example #content p { style here } particularly if the page is inheriting styles from your website theme (could be the case if you’re letting the default head actions run).

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] [Plugin: RSVPmaker] Paypal trackingIf you download the spreadsheet, you can see who has paid in the Amount Paid column. But you’re right that it should be visible in the HTML view. Making a note to fix that in the next update, which should be soon.

In reply to: "Upload/Insert" no longer functioning after 3.2 upgradeWhen I got around to running a JS debugger, I was able to trace this to something to do with the Disqus plugin. Updated Disqus to latest version, and the problem went away.
Apologies for pointing the finger at the Twentyten theme, which apparently had nothing to do with it.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: "Upload/Insert" no longer functioning after 3.2 upgradeI’m seeing the same issue with upload/insert not working on a site that’s running the Twentyten theme. Haven’t gotten as far as running a JS debugger yet, but this strikes me as odd for a fairly plain vanilla install.
Can you provide a link to the FB page where you’re seeing this behavior?
I’d also like to see what you have set as the canvas and tab urls. Are you using query strings or anything funky? Strictly speaking, it’s not even necessary anymore to include a canvas url if you’re not planning to display your content as an “app” rather than a “tab”

In reply to: [Facebook Tab Manager] [Plugin: Facebook Tab Manager] Where do I start?glesueur,
Sorry it’s taken me a few days to reply. I was traveling. I assume you’re running WordPress 3.0 or greater, correct? You should have seen an error message on install if not, but I’m checking anyway because the plugin wouldn’t work with an older version of WordPress.
Another issue could be that you’re not logged in as a user with editor rights or higher. Do you see the menu to edit page content? FB Tabs are treated as equivalent to pages for security purposes.
Let me know if this helps.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Problems with Calendar DisplaySarahda, Do you have a test events listing page you can share for me to look at? You might also want to send me a screen shot of your RSVPMaker settings page at [email protected] so I can see if that tells me anything.

In reply to: Facebook Tab Manager issuesEmilio and I finally resolved this after some email back and forth. He was actually confused about the screen shot of the Facebook Developer utility I had included as inline documentation. The Save Settings button in that screen shot looked kind of like part of the UI because of the way the colors blended. I never would have thought of that.
Anyway, I’m putting out a new release that has the Save Settings button in that image cropped out so no one else will be confused.

In reply to: [Facebook Tab Manager] facebook tab disappeared?Looks like you got it working again? Only thing I noticed is it looks like you don’t have an SSL certificate set up for your site, so I wasn’t able to view the tab in “secure browsing” mode (https)
