- Facebook App Secret – Enter the Facebook App Secret Key.
- OAuth Redirect URI – This setting needs to be added to your app settings by going to Products > Facebook Login > OAuth redirect URI.

- Disable Post to Facebook – If selected, Post to Facebook feature will be disabled for all post types.
- Enable Post Type for Post to Facebook – You can select the post types for which Post to Facebook feature is enabled. If left blank, it will be enabled for all post types.
- Disable Auto-Post to Facebook – If selecting, auto-posting to Facebook (whenever a listing is published) will be disabled. You can still manually post to Facebook from the Listing Edit page.
