HI All,

Attached is the theme and documentation that I created that allows you to build a wordpress theme for a facebook page.  I paid a fair bit to create this and never got it off the ground when I went into post for national.co.uk and think it is a shame to see it wasted.  

An example set up is here www.socialprofilr.com 

The iframe can be resized to get rid of scroll bars and it does use fan-gate [what a fan sees before and after they like a page]  

It uses drag and drop to build the wordpress page which is pretty cool.  All in all it was meant to allow you to do whatever you wanted in a facebook page built on wordpress. 

I am giving this to the members of the Manchester Wordpress Group for no costs attached and happy for you to use it on as many of your own sites and hell if you can make a few bob as a developer offering wordpress facebook pages then go for it.  Just refrain from passing it onto anyone outside of the group.

Unfortunately I can not provide support for it and although the application settings with Facebook has changed you can still setup this theme.  You would set it up on a sub domain or sub directory with a fresh install of Wordpress. 

Once you have it configured you will see how flexible it is.  But it does need updating with some additional features that have since been created that could be integrated, nonetheless it will do the job.

If you know basic wordpress then you should be ok with it otherwise you may need a developer to install for you.  The instructions are straightforward enough


Kind Regards

How does this differ from Facebook Connect?

As I understand it, FB Connect should enable you to embed a FB Fan page into a
Wordpress blog page but all that seems to happen, having put the appID and
secret in, is that it goes off to Facebook!

Perhaps I haven't understood it correctly...:-(

Facebook connect allows the site to connect with Facebook i.e for login

This theme needs a website URL in Facebook app to be recognised for displaying the WordPress site in an iframe under a tab.

So you do need a url (where theme hosted) + Facebook app (although instructions outdated in principal the creation of an app the same
