About this plugin
Auto Sync for FB connects your Facebook Page to your WordPress site via the Facebook Graph API.
Key Features:
* Automatically imports Facebook Page posts as WordPress blog posts.
* Downloads post images directly into the WordPress Media Library and sets them as Featured Images ( _thumbnail_id ).
* Deduplication Engine: Tracks _fb_post_id in post meta so posts are never imported twice.
* Batch Historical Importer: Migrate hundreds of older posts with cursor-based pagination and a live progress bar without server timeouts.
* Native WP-Cron scheduling (Hourly, Every 2 Hours, Twice Daily, or Daily).
* Manual “Sync Latest Posts (Quick)” and “Test Connection” buttons in WP Admin.
* Choice of Published vs Draft status, default category, and author.
* Token Exchange Tool: Easily exchange short-lived tokens for permanent (never-expiring) Facebook Page Access Tokens.
How to Get Facebook Credentials
- Go to Facebook for Developers.
- Create an App (Type: Other / Business).
- Select Use Case “Manage everything on your Page”. Add business_management to minimum proposed permissions.
- Select Tools/Graph API Explorer and create User token with pages_show_list, business_management, pages_read_engagement permissions.
- Get Page Access Token for your page, with the same permissions as above.
- Copy your Facebook Page ID (found in your Page’s About section or URL).
How to Get a Never-Expiring (Permanent) Token
Short-lived Facebook tokens expire in 1-2 hours. To get a permanent token that never expires:
- Copy your App ID and App Secret from your Facebook Developer App Settings (Settings > Basic).
- Enter your App ID, App Secret, and temporary Page Access Token into the plugin settings.
- Click Exchange for Never-Expiring Token.
- The plugin will exchange your short-lived token via Facebook Graph API for a permanent Page Access Token and automatically save it into your settings!
