Okay, wondering if anyone has any expertise on the whole Facebook API, app developer thing?

I just want to add a plugin for allowing login via FB credentials. Gone to the FB Developer site and created an account, but beyond that it seems way beyond simply getting a couple keys.

Anyone have some basic pointers or can point me to a simple guide? Searching has been hit and mostly-miss. I’m not looking to become a “FB Developer” extraordinaire, just want to allow simple login.

cheers

Which plugin will you be using? They all normally provide all instructions needed…

I was looking at either the TT Social Connect or the WordPress Social Login.

The issue was less on the plugin side, more on the FB side, but may have figured that out…I was thinking you had to go through all the registration and configuration, but looking like it is just create/name an app, get the key and secret code and you are done.

If that’s the case, FB should really setup a much simpler system for just getting a couple keys than the full developer dashboard. Not sure if it’s the same as it was several years ago, but more like how easy it was to get a Google Maps API key.

Anyway, I’ll test out with the keys and see how things work.
Thanks
