Comments on: Using WordPress To Create iFrame Tabs for Facebook Fan Pages

@SMSEO I’ve created several now for pages, using WordPress to manage the iFrame content. We’re currently running a contest on a client page Final Four Challenge Titus-Will Cars that you can see how we’re using. Incidentally, we’ve seen over 800 new fan/likes in 48 hours with the campaign. Building our own iFrame app and deploying via WordPress plus a Facebook plugin has been amazing! And the cost is nearly zero. We’ve only experienced a few issues when there’s an increase in traffic and the tab doesn’t load the iFrame, but I think that’s due to the load on our Wordrpess install server, which we’ll probably move to its’ own server, versus virtual.

We’re also using on Win a Oregon Winery Tour Facebook page and with that campaign we’re using both the tab and canvas iFrame options.

I think we’ll see a lot more innovation on using iFrame apps, more WordPress plugins and themes related to Facebook iFrame tabs and overall more DIY iFrame Apps, tools, etc in 2011.

With Facebook everywhere, I find it hard to believe we’ll see Facebook going away anytime soon, so now every business if they haven’t yet, will need to step up and get their Facebook pages updated to iFrame Apps for their Tabs! :-)

@Lauren Young
I made one, but it wouldn’t show up in IE. Did you use a custom template or code it yourself? I basically took the ‘page.php’ file and coppied it, then changed it to fit the size. It works great in Chrome, but nothing in IE. Just blankness.

I have two pages, where I’ve done this.
Check out Titus Will Cars

The tab I’m sending content to via WordPress and an iframe app is:

Final Four Challenge

When you land on the tab, you’re required to like the page, in order to see the content.

But it’s all delivered via WordPress to an app iframe to tab.

Great way to manage content now!

The other page is http
