I’m having this problem as well. I’ve gone into the code but I can’t figure out how to fix it for the life of me.

I did find this: http://erikshosting.com/projects/facebook-connect-ajax-login-wordpress/ but I’m not sure it’s really what we’re looking for and I’m fearful of installing it given both login with ajax and SFC have been updated since he did this. I’d be more interested in trying to find the changes he made to the code but I don’t know what version of Login with Ajax he used to do a diff.

This page http://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-facebook-connect-extra-text-with-any-login-form-widget
suggests the problem happens with other login widgets as well, suggesting it might be a SFC problem.

I’ve noticed that if I just drop a “Connect With Facebook” button in as a widget, it appears differently in the site source.

The widget (working correctly) appears like this in the source:
Connect with Facebook

Whereas in the Login with Ajax widget, this is the source that displays the “Connect With Facebook text but fails to pull the button:

Connect with Facebook

FB_RequireFeatures(["XFBML"], function() {

FB.init(“FBKEY”, “http://website.com/?xd_receiver=1″, {“permsToRequestOnConnect”:”email”});

});

In both examples, website.com is my wordpress site and FBKEY is my application key.

It’s pretty clear the FB login button code is not getting into the Login with Ajax widget correctly, but I have no idea how to fix this. I barely know php and the in and outs of wordpress plugins are very much foreign to me.

I’m having a weird issue. I use the login with ajax plugin and it is showing “Connect with Facebook” in plain text below the password input on the side bar login. I have narrowed it down to it only happening when I have the “SFC – Login” plugin activated.

Any ideas on how to make that stop?

None, really. The new JS stuff still isn’t quite as capable as the old stuff was. Some of the new XFBML doesn’t work with the old stuff, but there’s iframe equivalents, and anyway they’re trying to phase out XFBML.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Due to SFC not using the new facebook js, what features/functionality (if any) would I be missing by using the plugin versus applying the code/tools provided on http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?

I’d dive in now. 1.0 ain’t happening soon.

Love what I see so far; looks like you’re doing a fantastic job. Based on what I’ve rad on this page and the main plugin page, I think maybe I should wait until v1.0 to try this. Is that coming soon, or should I just dive in with the current version? Thanks again for your contributions to the WP community!

Just me again.
Are you going to be adding the new Facebook Comment box? As previewed here – https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/472

I don’t see why you would, as users use Facebook to login. But I’m just curious

I just though of a new feature, I’m not too sure if it could work successfully though.
Could you add a feature to SFC that “posts” on a users wall when a new post is out?
Perhaps it acts as the admin (FB User) writing on their wall or that user posting it as a status update (via APP NAME)
Am I making sense?
