Please update to 2.0 of the plugin. You’ll have to set up a Facebook app, but you can now resolve any secure connection issues.

This is the only way to have Facebook return with secure connection images.

I made a draft over the weekend, but things at work have picked up and I need to do a bit of debugging still.

Right now the plugin will require you to create an app on Facebook & copy its App ID & Secret. Therefore it authenticates to you & anything you have access to (pages)

Does this sound like it would suffice in your opinion?

I’m not sure why this could be happening as shortcodes are processed by WP’s the_content() function. Do your pages and post use the same template file? My only thought is a theme conflict.

@zenhre this plugin only works for pages not personal accounts as the API does not authenticate.

I am planning on adding authenticated capabilities, and donations would work as a great push https://glamanate.com/wordpress/facebook-album/

Hi sorry I haven’t been responsive – major projects going on at work – the plugin doesn’t retrieve https plugins because it is accessing the Facebook API. I wasn’t aware of this, I thought it always did https.

Looking at the API it seems that you cannot retrieve https images unless authenticated with the API. By simply adding https isn’t working either, as its pulling from a non-secure CDN.

My goal is to attempt a coding sprint to make this plugin authenticate with Facebook (by end user creating a Facebook app and copying their consumer secret/key.)

If this is a feature you’d really like to see, I’ll do my best. A donation could be motivation as well to knock this out. https://glamanate.com/wordpress/facebook-album/

That error means basically Facebook responded with an API error. I’ll check this out within next day or two.

Try using the installer within WordPress. If it says install failed chances are it is a permissions issue. The server won’t allow the website to write to the plugins directory.

I’ll get a new update out within next few days that adds option to disable built in Lightbox

That can be done, I wish I saw this before I just pushed the latest update.

For now, open the plugin editor and find the “_enqueue_resources”. Comment out the Lightbox lines using //, like in the example below

public static function _enqueue_resources() {
			//wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
			//wp_enqueue_script('lightbox-js', plugins_url( '/lightbox/lightbox.js', __FILE__ ));
			//wp_enqueue_style('lightbox-style', plugins_url( 'lightbox/lightbox.css', __FILE__ ));
			wp_enqueue_style('fbalbum-style', plugins_url( '/fbalbum.css', __FILE__ ));
	}

Trust me, I’ve been there too

WordPress theme was not calling wp_head() or wp_footer()

I just pushed an update labeled 1.0.7.1, it fixes a few problems with widgets…for some reason the Lightbox is not being loaded.

Upgrade the plugin, if that doesn’t help shoot me an email at [email protected].

Can you link me to the site? Or email me at [email protected] if it’s a test client site you need to keep secret (see you work for web dev)

Added – please re-install your plugin. I’m used to using Git vs SVN, I made a mistake.

It shouldn’t be a theme conflict – let me look into something. I just realized that the lightbox folder isn’t on the SVN for the plugin! Sorry this is my first one, and it was there before. Let me do some research, sorry about this
