complete selection.

Click here to view the full image.
Go down below and press the Save Changes and Next button.

Just click on the Save Changes button below.
Facebook For Wordpress User Guide

For people who already setup Open Graph for their Apps in the past, here is how to create a
new one.
Click on the Dashboard submenu of the Open Graph of your App.
Then click on the Create New Action Type button.
A window will pop out, type in “publish” in the text field and press the Submit button.
Next, go back to the Dashboard and click on the Create New Object Type button.
Facebook For Wordpress User Guide
32
A window will pop out; type in “article” an auto-complete will pop out for the term article.

Once that is done, press the Submit button.
Next step is to sync the Facebook for Wordpress plugin with the author’s facebook account.
Make sure that you’re already logged into your facebook account, and click on the “Link your
Facebook account to your WordPress account to enable.” Link.
Once you click the link, a window will pop out. It will ask you to login into facebook. Press the
Login In with Facebook button.
Facebook For Wordpress User Guide

It will then ask you if you want to allow the App to post on your behalf, and manage the pages
you have created. Press on the Allow button.

Wordpress settings page will reload.
You will know that the account was successfully synced/setup, because you will see a drop
down box. It has replaced the link with this.
Facebook For Wordpress User Guide
34
Next, we are going to convert the posts that are appearing at the author’s timeline to public,
and to make the plugin work for all the existing authors of the site. Because by default,
whenever a post or page is published, it will appear in the author’s timeline, but only the author
can see it (which is not very useful. And the author of the app is the only one that can use the
plugin.
Go back to the Open Graph tab in your app’s settings and click on the 'Submit' link next to the
new publish action.
A window will pop out asking you to type in the instructions to reproduce the action. Once you
have type in your detailed instructions, press Continue.
I use these lines below for my trigger steps:
1. Go to spbooks.com, login to your wordpress user account (you would login to your own
blog).
2. Go to the Facebook for Wordpress and sync your wordpress user's facebook account with it.
3. Go to Add New Post or Add New Page.
4. Create a New Post or a New Page, provide an entry in the "Facebook Status on Your
Facebook For Wordpress User Guide
35
Timeline" field.
5. Press "Publish"
6. The published post or page will now be posted as well on the wordpress user's facebook
timeline.
Next, you will be asked for Optional Properties. Just press Continue to proceed.
You will now be in the Review Submission, just press the Submit for Approval button after you
have reviewed the details.
Facebook For Wordpress User Guide
36
Once, submitted you will see your Publish action type being submitted for approval.
Once it gets approved, every post or page that is published by any wordpress author on your
blog, will be available for everyone to so. Also, all authors on your WordPress blog will see a
notification at the top of the admin control panel prompting them to authenticate with
Facebook. Once they do that, all of their new Posts and Pages will post to their Timeline.
Pretty cool.
Finally, make sure the Publish to Author’s Timeline is checked, and press the Save Changes
button below.
