How to create a Facebook APP

I have been asked a lot this question lately, mostly because of my really successfull plugin SEO Facebook Comments.

To make the plugin work you need to correctly create a Facebook App and configure all of the needed information in the plugin that you get from the Facebook App.

So here´s how to do it, it´s really easy and straightfoward, especially since the last Facebook Developers redesign:

First, go to the page http://www.facebook.com/developers

It will ask you to login (if you´re not already). Once looged in you´re going to be taken to the following page.

As you can see, In the right top corner of your page you´re going to see a button called + Create New App, just click on it

Insert a nice name for your APP and you can leave the APP NAMESPACE field blank, just agree and then click in CONTINUE. Correctly type the Captcha text ( a challenge sometimes, I know) and just click Continue.

We´re almost done! As you can see in the above picture we already have an App ID and App Secret for our app, now there is just one last thing to do. Click in Website  (attention! It’s not the app domain!) and type the full URL for your domain, taking this blog as an example I would type http://www.plulz.com in the mentioned box.

Now that everything is set just SAVE IT, now go back to your SEO Facebook Comment Admin Page and insert the App ID, App Secret and your facebook e-mail and everything will work just fine
