Don’t let Facebook plugin post author’s timeline when unchecked

Don’t let Facebook plugin post author’s timeline when unchecked by M

Solution:

WordPress › Support » [Plugin: Facebook] Publish to author’s Timeline

Problem:

Facebook’s plugin for WordPress posts to an Author’s Timeline even if the check box next to the option is unchecked.

For another blog that I am working on, I wanted to be sure that this doesn’t happen. But the plugin (v1.0.2) was consistency trying to post to my timeline, and was successful many times.

Finally, after it messed up on 3 consecutive posts, I decided to look for a solution to fix it.

Find file fb-social-publisher.php and in it the code:

fb_post_to_author_fb_timeline($post->ID);

and replace it WITH

if (isset($options['social_publisher']['publish_to_authors_facebook_timeline'])) {
    fb_post_to_author_fb_timeline($post->ID);
}

I have changed the code. Hope it doesn’t cause anymore trouble.

Since the Facebook plugin is still buggy at its best while publishing to Facebook pages, I hope they soon release an update to it.
