Back to the top
Installation
- Download the JSL3 Facebook Wall Feed v1.7.4 widget plugin.
- Extract the zip file to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Configuration
- Create your Facebook App. NOTE: You cannot use a Facebook Page to create a Facebook App. You must use your personal Facebook profile. However, once you create your Facebook App, you can use its App ID and App Secret along with the Facebook ID of the Facebook Page you want to get the feed from on the settings page for the plugin.
- If this is your first time creating a Facebook App, you will need to register. Otherwise, skip to step e.
- Toggle the button to Yes to agree to the Facebook Policies and then click Next.
- After you enter the confirmation code that Facebook sent to your phone, click Register.
- Click Done to complete the registration.
- When you Add a New App, select the Website option.
- Click Create New Facebook App ID.
- Select a category that best fits your WordPress site and then click Create App ID.
- Enter your Site URL and Mobile Site URL in the Tell us about your website section at the bottom of the page. Do not enter www. Then click Next.
- Click the Skip to Developer Dashboard link in the Next Steps section at the bottom of the page.
- Select the Settings menu option. Enter your App Domain and Contact Email. Then click Save Changes.
- Click the Show button to reveal your App Secret.
- Make note of your App ID and App Secret. You will need them in step 2.
- Select the Status & Review menu option. Change the toggle button to Yes to make you Facebook App available to the public.
- Click Confirm to complete the creation of your Facebook App.
- Go to JSL3 Facebook Wall Feed under Settings on your WordPress Administration menu. Enter the App ID and App Secret you recorded earlier. Also, enter your Facebook ID. If you do not know your Facebook ID, you can find it at http://findmyfacebookid.com.
- Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page. You will be redirected to Facebook. You may be prompted to login a couple of times.
- Click Okay to give your Facebook App permission to access your public profile, News Feed, status updates and groups.
- Click Okay to give your Facebook App permission to manage your Pages.
- You will be returned to the JSL3 Facebook Wall Feed settings page with your Access Token and its expiration date.
- NOTE: Facebook has changed how the Facebook ID is used with new Facebook Apps. If, after adding your widget to your WordPress site, you see that the feed is blank, go back to the settings page for the plugin and check the box below your Facebook ID and then click the Save Changes button. This will tell the plugin to request the App Scoped User ID instead of your Facebook ID.
Widget Usage
- Go to Widgets under Appearance on your WordPress Administration menu. Drag the JSL3 Facebook Wall Feed widget to the sidebar of your choice.
- Give the widget a title (or leave it blank) and enter how many posts you want to get from your wall. You may also enter the Facebook ID of the Facebook page you want to display in the widget. If you leave the Facebook ID blank, the widget will use the Facebook ID entered on the settings page for the plugin. Click Save.
- Go check out your Facebook Wall Feed on your WordPress site.
Shortcode Usage
- Add the shortcode [jsl3_fwf] or [jsl3_fwf limit=”1″] or even [jsl3_fwf limit=”1″ fb_id=”1405307559″] to the Text view of a post or page. If you do not enter a Facebook ID, the plugin will use the Facebook ID entered on the settings page for the plugin. If your feed is blank, try setting the fb_id property to your App Scoped User ID. If you do not know your App Scoped User ID, set the app_scoped_user_id property to true like this: [jsl3_fwf limit=”1″ fb_id=”1405307559″ app_scoped_user_id=”true”]
- View your Facebook Wall Feed on your WordPress post or page.

- Where can I find support for this plugin?Just add a comment and I will do my best to help you.
Back to the FAQ menu - How do I use shortcode to add the Facebook Wall Feed to a post or page?Switch to HTML view and add the following:
[jsl3_fwf]
To limit the number of posts displayed add the ‘limit’ attribute:[jsl3_fwf limit="1"]
To specify a specific feed to display add the ‘fb_id’ attribute and enter the feed’s Facebook ID:[jsl3_fwf limit="1" fb_id="1405307559"]
If you do not enter a Facebook ID in the shortcode, the plugin will use the Facebook ID entered on the settings page for the plugin.
Back to the FAQ menu - Can I translate the plugin?I would be happy if you translated the plugin. You can use the ‘default.po’ file found in the ‘wp-content/plugins/jsl3-facebook-wall-feed/languages’ directory. Use Poedit to translate the plugin into your language and then save the PO file using the text domain (‘jsl3-fwf’), language code and country code as the name. For example, if you translate the plugin into German, you should save the file as ‘jsl3-fwf-de_DE.po’. Finally, place the translated PO file and its corresponding MO file in the ‘wp-content/plugins/jsl3-facebook-wall-feed/languages’ directory.Let me know the URL of the site with the translated plugin by posting a comment on the this page.
Back to the FAQ menu - How do I get rid of the ‘Facebook Status’ box?To remove the ‘Facebook Status’ box add the following to the bottom of the style sheet on the settings page for the plugin:
/* Remove Facebook Status */
#facebook_status_box h2
{
display: none;
}
Back to the FAQ menu - How can I adjust the width of the Facebook Wall Feed?To adjust the width of the Facebook Wall Feed add the following to the bottom of the style sheet on the settings page for the plugin:
/* Adjust width */
#facebook_status_box
{
width: 225px;
}
Change the number in front of “px” to one that fits for you.
Back to the FAQ menu - How do I adjust the height of the Facebook Wall Feed?To adjust the height of the Facebook Wall Feed add the following to the bottom of the style sheet on the settings page for the plugin:
#facebook_status_box #facebook_canvas
/* Adjust height */
#facebook_status_box
{
height: 500px;
}
{
height: 460px;
}
Change the numbers in front of “px” to ones that fits for you. Try to keep the height in #facebook_status_box about 40px greater than the height in #facebook_canvas if you are keeping the ‘Facebook Status’ box at the top of the feed.
Back to the FAQ menu - Why is my token set to expire in less than 24 hours?I am not sure why Facebook will give some users a short-lived token. Facebook will only allow you to attempt to renew your token once per 24 hours. Try waiting 24 hours from the last time you clicked “Save Changes” on the settings page for the plugin, then try again. If you do not get a token that lasts about 60 days, then you may want to try creating a new Facebook App for the plugin.
Back to the FAQ menu - What does the error “OAuthException: Error validating access token: Session has expired at unix time [UNIX TIME]. The current unix time is [UNIX TIME]” mean?It means your access token has expired. Go to the settings page for the plugin and click “Save Changes” to renew your token.
Back to the FAQ menu - What does the error “OAuthException: Error validating access token: The session has been invalidated because the user has changed the password” mean?It usually means you changed your Facebook password recently. Go to the settings page for the plugin and click “Save Changes” to validate your session.
Back to the FAQ menu - What does the error “OAuthException: An access token is required to request this resource” mean?It usually means you do not have an access token. Check that your App ID and App Secret are correct. Then click “Save Changes” on the settings page for the plugin.
Back to the FAQ menu - What does the error “Exception: No node specified” mean?It usually means you have not set your Facebook ID. Check that you have entered your Facebook ID on the settings page for the plugin. Then click “Save Changes” on the settings page for the plugin.
Back to the FAQ menu - What does the error “Exception: SETTINGS: Unrecognized pref_type 0 for NullProfileSettings pref name default_non_connection_tab” mean?It usually means are using an incorrect Facebook ID. Check that your Facebook ID is correct. Then click “Save Changes” on the settings page for the plugin.
Back to the FAQ menu - What does “An error occurred with [Your App Name]. Please try again later” mean?This is a Facebook error and may also include the following message:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
Error Message: Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.This error means that the App Domain and Site URL for your Facebook App do not match the domain of the website where you are using the plugin. Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and click “Edit Settings”. Under “Basic”, change your “App Domain” to match the domain of the website where the plugin is located. In the “Select how your app integrates with Facebook” section, under “Website with Facebook Login”, change your “Site URL” to match the URL of the website where the plugin is located. Do not use “www.” in your App Domain or Site URL.
Back to the FAQ menu - Why is my feed blank?First, a blank feed usually indicates an invalid Facebook ID. If you do not know your Facebook ID, then go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer. Click “Get Access Token”. You may be prompted to log in. If you are prompted to “Select permissions”, click “Get Access Token”. In the text box next to the “Submit” button, enter the “Facebook Username” used in your Facebook URL (for example, my Facebook URL is https://www.facebook.com/takanudo so my Facebook Username is takanudo) followed by “?fields=id”. Click Submit. Your Facebook ID will be in the results.Second, The limit property tells Facebook how many posts to return. Some of those posts could be filtered out depending on how you have configured the plugin. For example, if you set the limit to one, the post returned may be filtered out if you have “Only show posts made by this Facebook ID” checked or “Show all status messages” unchecked or “Privacy” set to “Show only wall posts labeled public”. The thoroughness option forces the plugin to keep making requests to Facebook until the limit number has been reached, but it will slow down the plugin dramatically.

first of all, AWESOME job!
is there any way to incorporate a custom scroll bar for this? like http://manos.malihu.gr/jquery-custom-content-scroller
ive tried and I just seem to mess up the widget
Thanks!!
Unfortunately, there is not a way to incorporate a custom scroll bar, like your example, via the plugin. You would have to find some other way to incorporate the javascript.
I know you said we can’t incorporate a custom scroll bar but is there a way to just CHANGE the colors of it?
Some browsers will not allow you to change the scroll bar color, but for those that do you can try adding the following to the bottom of the style sheet on the settings page:
#facebook_status_box {
scrollbar-face-color: #0000ff;
scrollbar-track-color: #ff0000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #00ff00;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-base-color: #00ffff;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffff00;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #ff00ff;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
}
Change the colors to ones that will fit your site
Just made a donation. This WP widget was just what I was looking for. Thanks so much for the great work!
Thank you for the donation.
is anybody having trouble with this today? it was working fine yesterday. today, it’s not pulling in any data.
Are you getting any errors? Do you have “Show all status messages” checked?
Show all status messages was unchecked. it’s odd, because i don’t remember unchecking, but i must have. it’s working now.
Thanks this is a wicked plugin!!
brilliant job and very well explained
merci merci merci
😉

Hi
Is it simple to get the feed from a particular page wall rather than the user profile wall?
Thanks
OK – I answered my own question. You just use the ID of the page instead of the user on the settings page.
Great plugin, by the way!
Hello.
I’m using the Facebook Wall JSL3 Feed widget in my sidebar page. In the status box appears this message: Facebook Status
Error parsing message: invalid string constant.
What is the problem?
Thanks.
Ricard.
Please let me know what Facebook ID you are using?
HappyFrogDrums Barcelona
The space in the Facebook ID is the problem. Can you give me a link to the Facebook page you are trying to get a feed from? Once you do that I can give you a Facebook ID that will work.
http://www.facebook.com/HappyFrogDrums
Try using the following Facebook ID: 100003728061616
Thank you very much.
Now it works perfectly.
Thanks for the quick answer.
Ricard
Followed directions and don’t have the feed . . . glitch?
Change your Facebook ID to just 229663643750262.
Any way to open the facebook page in a new window?
On the settings page for the plugin, check the box next to “Open links in a new window or tab.”
Thanks again.
Can you adjust the length ot the box when embedded on a page?
Add the following to the bottom of the style sheet on the settings page for the plugin:
#facebook_status_box #facebook_canvas
{
height: 450px;
}
Change “450” to whatever height you would like.
Hi,
I have the widget set up and showing my wall post for my fanpage but the time is off. I just posted to my wall at 10:11 AM and the widget is showing I posted at 2:11 PM. Is there a way to get the time in sync?
Thanks!
Is your WordPress site set to the correct timezone? From your WordPress Dashboard, under Settings, click General. Make sure the timezone is set correctly for your region.
That was it.
Thanks!
absolutely brilliant. thank you.
Thanks for a great plugin:) It has been working like a charm for weeks but now all I am getting is the following error:
OAuthException: Error validating access token: Session has expired at unix time 1338618464. The current unix time is 1338730942.
Please advise..
Thanks!
Facebook no longer allows non-expiring tokens. Make sure you have the latest version of the plugin. Then go to the settings page for the plugin and set the “Renew Token” option to a more frequent setting, like “Once Hourly”, then click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page. After an hour, your token should be renewed.
Hi
I tried this and I am still getting the error – any ideas on what else I could do?
Thanks
Have you disabled or modified wp-cron in any way?
You could try the following:
1. Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps
2. On the left side of the page, click on the name of the app you created for this plugin.
3. Click on the “Edit App” button at the top right side of the page.
4. On the left side of the page, under “Settings”, click “Advanced”.
5. Under the “Migrations” section change the “Remove offline_access permission” setting to “Disabled”.
6. Click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.
7. Go to the settings page for the plugin on your WordPress site and click “Save Changes”.
8. Click “Allow” when you are prompted to give the “Access your data any time” permission to your app.
Let me know if this fixed your problem.
I do this and then it goes to facebook and it says this once I save changes on the wordpress app.
“An error occurred with GoodNaturedFruit. Please try later”
Any ideas?
Update: when I save changes on the wordpress app it now goes to facebook, but I am still getting the error message on the front end of my site:
http://www.goodnaturedfruit.co.uk
Are you using 72381897334 as your Facebook ID?
Yes
Can we see if you can renew your token directly. Can you try going to the following link:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=APP_ID&client_secret=APP_SECRET&grant_type=fb_exchange_token&fb_exchange_token=EXISTING_ACCESS_TOKEN
Substitute APP_ID with your App ID, APP_SECRET with your App Secret, and EXISTING_ACCESS_TOKEN with your access token. Then refresh the page with the plugin. If this works then there is a problem with cron on your wordpress site. If it doesn’t, then I’m not sure why Facebook will not renew your token.
According to a Facebook bug report (https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/241373692605971) there is a problem with some users getting short lived access tokens. The fix is to remove the Facebook App you created for this plugin from your Facebook page. I don’t have a Facebook page, so I can’t give you exact instructions on how to do this. On my Facebook profile, you would go to “Account Settings”, then select the “Apps” category, and then click the “X” to the right of the app you created for this plugin to remove it. Then you would have to go to the settings page for the plugin on your WordPress site and click “Save Changes” to re-add the app to your Facebook page.
Hi !
I want to display post from a page. I can only display post from my personnal Wall.
I could I do that ?
Thank you.
Vincent.
Hi,
Yes I would like to do the same. I created a profile, and then a page for my business. Is there anyway I can have the wall feed come from my page rather than my profile?
Regards,
Darren.
http://wibiyasupport.conduit.com/entries/187061-how-to-find-your-facebook-fan-page-id.
You will find the answer here.
Oups forget It, I have read older post, maybe could be helpfull to update the help.
I could use a little help. please. You plugin is exactly what I need, ty.
But I am having a problem with displaying it on a page with the shortcode and with the widget. My problem is that it displays the content without the box and scrollbar. It is just a block of text, no nice box/container for it and no scrollbars.
I am using the latest version of the plugin that I got from within WordPress, the most updated version of wordpress, and a slightly modified version of the Twenty Eleven 1.3 wordpress theme.
ty in advance for any direction.
It sounds like a problem with the style sheet. On the settings page for the plugin, can you try clicking the box under the style sheet labeld “Tick this box if you wish to reset the style to default” and then click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page?
OK, I tried that. I also tried directly copying and pasting the original stylesheet from the downloaded widget package.
Neither worked and the problem persists. Do you think it might be a conflict with the stylesheet from my theme and, like you had mentioned in a prior post I believe, inheriting some conflicting tags?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Can you give me a link to where the plugin resides on your wordpress site so I can take a look?
It’s located at: http://englishbeat.net/facebook/
I’m using the following shortcode in my html: [jsl3_fwf limit=”10″]
When I try to use it in my main Home page by dragging the widget to the sidebar, it does the same thing, a long line of text with no box/container or scrollbar.
ty for your help!!
When I click on your link, I am getting your “page not found” error page.
Sorry!! Forgot to move it from draft to published, it’s there now.
For some reason, the style sheet for the plugin is not being embedded in your theme. I sent you an email.
Something just occurred to me. Can you go to “Edit Themes” and check that the line
<?php wp_head(); ?>
comes before the line with</head>
in your Header (header.php) template. From the dashboard of your WordPress site, you can find “Editor” under “Appearance”. On the “Edit Themes” page, click “Header” on the right side of the page. Many plugins, including mine, depend on the wp_head() function to include things like styles, scripts, and meta tags.Yeah! That worked, thank you! Added that line into my header/php file before the tag and it is working perfectly now!

Hi,
thank you very much for this free plugin, and appreciate the hardwork behind this. can i ask you for a little addon functionality. it would be fantastic if you add share button in each wall feed, is that possible?
I don’t know of a way to share via the graph api.
Hi, thanks for this plugin. I am using it as a widget on a website to connect with a group on fb and it works fine, except for one thing: when I click on the “Comment” or “Like” links, I get an error message which says “Page not found”.
The group is open so there should be no privacy issue.
How can I fix this? Thank you.
Can you give me a link to your site so I can see what is going on?
The website is under construction so it is not publicly visible, can I send you access information by private message?
Paolo, I sent you an email.
Thanks for working so hard on the plugin. It was working great a cople of days ago and when I went to see it display on my page it now just shows the Facebook logo and has a link “Go to Facebook”. It no longer displays the page feed from Facebook page into our website page as before. We didn’t change anything that I can think of, it just started happening. Any guess on what is the issue? Thanks, Chelse
It looked like it was displaying properly when I visited your site. Are you still having issues?
Thanks for responding. Yes, all is well and I love your app! I made some adjustments, but it wasn’t the app it was me and my site. Thanks for responding. This is a fabulous app and I’m fortunate to be using it. Take care.
Smiles,
Chelse
I’m using this for a weight loss blog my mom is starting.
Is there a way to make the images in the feed full size? Like they would appear on facebook.
Also when when I click on the “Comment” or “Like” links, I get an error message which says “Page not found”.
http://www.getskinnywithlisa.com/blog/
I am getting her wall feed from her weight loss group on facebook:
facebook.com/groups/419179721427311/
For better or worse, the plugin displays the images as they are sent from Facebook. Facebook probably reduce the size of the images for bandwidth concerns. As for the “Comment” or “Like” links, give me a little time to work on it this weekend. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Facebook group, so it is difficult to test the plugin for that situation.
If this ends up not being possible where would I go to “comment-out” the comment and like links or what css could I add to set them to not display?
I think the fact that your group is closed may be why you are getting “Page not found”. To hide the “comment” and “like” links, add the following to the bottom of the style sheet on the settings page for the plugin:
#facebook_status_box .fb_post .fb_commLink {
display: none;
}
I’m receiving the same “Error parsing message: invalid constant string” mentioned above. Here is my facebook page;
http://www.facebook.com/fantasyfootballfanatic
Thanks (in advance)
Your Facebook ID is 230265880350960.
Much appreciated.
Hi Takanudo, thanks for the great app and the continued support you provide. Following your FAQs I have managed to adjust the width and remove the status bar however upon entering the code for formatting nothing seems to change. I would like to change primarily the text and background color, possibly invert them. Is it because the codes included default colors? Could you provide a list of the color codes?
Thanks in advanced.
Text and background colors are controlled by the following styles:
/* most text colors */
#facebook_status_box p
{
color: #ffffff;
}
#facebook_status_box .fb_link_post p.fb_cap
{
color: #ffffff;
}
#facebook_status_box .fb_msg p.fb_story
{
