  • Awesome

    Facebook oEmbed needs app review. You need to ask for access to the API. After that, this plugin works great!

    It works well - make sure you register a Facebook App and get the ID and Key to use in the plugin.

  • Works perfectly, and elegantly coded for MultiSite

    As the title suggests, this is written beautifully and works perfectly. No bloat. On-screen links to where you need to go at facebook and documentation. And the ability to define keys in wp-config make it great for multisite.
