Simple Facebook Connect

Plugin: Simple Facebook Connect
Version: 0.11
Last updated: 18 days ago.
Downloaded: 15,405 times.

Overview

Facebook Connect is somewhat difficult to integrate with WordPress sites. Many plugins exist to do this, but they are overly complicated, or have security problems, or just plain don’t do the things you want them to do.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
