Auto Sync for FB

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

1. Go to Facebook for Developers.
2. Create an App (Type: Other / Business).
3. Select Use Case “Manage everything on your Page”. Add business_management to minimum proposed permissions.
4. Select Tools/Graph API Explorer and create User token with pages_show_list, business_management, pages_read_engagement permissions.
5. Get Page Access Token for your page, with the same permissions as above.
6. 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:

1. Copy your App ID and App Secret from your Facebook Developer App Settings (Settings > Basic).
2. Enter your App ID, App Secret, and temporary Page Access Token into the plugin settings.
3. Click Exchange for Never-Expiring Token.
4. 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!
