Hi Alex – hope all is well with you! That sounds like a cache problem, not an implementation problem. I would recommend clearing out all of your cache on your browser, and then rebooting your computer. You may have to log back into everything, but let's see how that works first.

Let me know if you need help on how to clear your browser – it varies depending on what browser you're using.

Thanks again…

Hi Robert,

I was trying to actually implement this last night. I ran into trouble. The issue is that when I place the "FBConnect" button it works fine, then I click it, and I see the smaller squared window that asks me if I want to accept the connection between my site and FBC. I agree and it works, sort of… the problem is that the window doesn't close and take me back to my site, instead it opens the blog in that smaller window with no scroll bar or anything while the original window sits in the background. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Alex

Alternatively, I would recommend Disqus.com as a way to integrate both Facebook, Twitter, and others into the comments section of your postings.

Rock on with it my friend, and definitely let me know if you need help with anything.

Thanks again Alex!

It worked. I cleared the cache and sure enough it went through this time. You are awesome. I am going to bookmark you! I am going to implement the codes later on, after work. But I'm excited.

Thanks a bunch.

So here's my suggestions:

First – make sure you're at the right place to register the site you want to integrate into Facebook Connect Playgroud >>

Second – if you are in the right place, the what I recommend is clearing the cache of your browser so that no pre-disposed form data is present. Depending on your browser (you can reply and let me know if you need help) will depend on exactly how you go about doing this.

I've written a “how to” for clearing cache on Firefox here >> .

Otherwise, for Internet Explorer go to “tools > internet options > click delete in browsing history > then select all check boxes”

For Safari go to “the circle settings icon in the upper right hand corner > click “reset Safari” > select all checked boxes”

For Chrome “click the wrench icon in the upper right hand corner > click on “clear browsing data” > clear all history

For all of the options above, you'll probably have to re-login to everything, but this should clear out all the browsing cache.

And then go back and retry registering your site at Facebook Connect Playground >>

I just tried using the wizard. I keep getting this message: “An error occurred while registering your site” What could be wrong? Any help is deeply appreciated. :D

Thanks for the responce though!

Now on to having connect actually log a user into my site and not work as a
secondary conduit for comments. If you go to my site and create a user you
will find that you can post to the site as well as comment. FBconnect does
not log a user in it just allows one to commnent. i.e. logged in gets you
this GUI and not logged in is what you see
when you go to the site as is. Here is the site.

Thanks again

If you provide me with the URL to your site, I will have a look with Firebug and try to let you know what you're doing wrong.

Alternatively, you can try adding the Connect code in your “footer.php” file in your WP dashboard > editor. And just put the code right before the </body> closed body tag. You are still achieving the requirement of having the code within the body tag.

Once your code is properly added to your WP blog, then all of the functions should show fine (with the exception of aesthetic adjustments) in your text widgets.

Also feel free to give me a call on my Google Voice number at 706-363-0335.

Thanks again for your comment!
