Facebook Connect Wordpress Integration

Sick of having dozens of logins for different websites you like to post comments on? Why not use Facebook Connect!

Today I integrated Facebook Connect into Proven Commerce using a Wordpress Plugin called Simple Facebook Connect. The installation process was relatively easy and can be done with a mid-level of skills. The basic installation includes just a few steps. Download the files that is in a zip file and unzip. Upload the unzipped file into the "plugins" directory on your server. Create an application of Facebook and transfer 3 key numbers into the Connect plugin within your admin panel. A few tweeks had to be made with the PHP coding to get the connect button to show up. Installation should take no more than one hour.

Why use Facebook Connect?

It solves the problem of creating multiple accounts for every blog/website you would like to comment on. It is much easier just to manage your Facebook account. In addition, when users comment using their actual Facebook accounts you will notice a decrease in spam messages.
