== Description ==
This Plugin fetches a Facebook Page Photo Album as a JSON object and uses Fancybox and PrettyPhoto to render the gallery in wordpress
It is specifically for public photos particularly those belonging to a Facebook Page. You do not need special
permissions, just the album ID and boom!
Version 2.0 was completely rewritten and makes use of wordpress’s shortcodes.
= How to use =
- In your post just add the following [fbphotos id=x] where x is the album ID
- To specify number of photos to show use [fbphotos id=x limit=y] where y is the number to be shown
- You can choose 3 different sizes for small, medium and large for thumbnails [fbphotos id=x limit=y size=small]
- To use in your template pages in theme development you can call the following function
do_shortcode(‘fbphotos’)
= Requirements =
- Facebook Page Photo Gallery requires PHP > 5.2!
- jQuery 1.4.4 and higher
- WordPress 3.2 or higher

== Installation ==
1. Unzip the plugin and Upload the directory ‘facebook-page-photo-gallery’ to ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ on your site
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. That’s all for it to work! You can customise the settings though under WP Admin Panel » Settings » Facebook Page Photo
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= My albums are not updating =
In your settings you set a cache time, so it will take some minutes for the changes to reflect. The longer the cache time the longer it takes for changes to reflect.
Caching however increases site speed as you dont have to poll Facebook servers everytime a visitor hits your page
= How do I get an album ID =
The album id is the number on the facebook after a. up to the next dot. Copy that number and place it between the braces.
* For example, http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.209112642458743.46995.123369051033103 the ID is 209112642458743
= Does FPPG 2.0 support the shortcode used in previous versions i.e FB-Album[] =
No. It now uses WordPress shortcode [fbphotos]

Facebook has suddenly limited how you can get your albums from the graph API, if your albums suddenly stops showing then it means it needs needs access token to retrieve. The only way forward is to purchase the http://codecanyon.net/item/facebook-walleria-wordpress-plugin/634775?ref=classicon which was built to get albums that require an access token

Hey There,
I just installed the plug in and it worked… great. All of a sudden it has went away. Is the reason for this because of the token issue? I noticed at times if i activated and deactivated it would work again, but then go away again.
Can you explain again? If so, are we forced to purchase the plug in?
Please explain.

Today I noticed that is no longer the gallery. How sad. I can not afford to buy the license.
So the plugin is no longer ‘free? : (

Pastes are isotropic but may exhibit anomalous double refraction.
Nowadays with flight simulators you can have lots of fun
out of these games and besides all this you do not
have to spend thousands. You must, however, practice auto-rotations at the flying field with the help of an instructor.
Flight – Simulator flight simulation features highly detailed time of day modeling and
can track the current computer clock time in order to correctly place the sun, moon,
stars, etc. In general, it is something manufactured, to pretend to be (or simulate), something else more valuable.

I’m attempting to modify the CSS to this plugin in order to hide the “show more” bar, but I can’t seem to find the active CSS file (All of the CSS files in the editor are marked “Inactive”)
Which file is actually used // where do I find it?

How can I change the size of the thumbnails? I can’t find it. I need to shrink them just a tad so I can get 4 images across on my full-width pages.
