Stage Three – Setting your WP site to auto-post to Facebook
Install and activate the plugin NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster
A new option will appear under ‘Settings’ in your WP menu.
In the new SNAP page, click ‘Add new account’
Choose Facebook as the network.
On the next screen you need to input your Facebook page URL, the APP ID and the APP SECRET that you saved earlier.
At the bottom of the page, click update settings.
You will now need to ‘Authorise’ your account
That is it, all future posts you make will be automatically posted to your Facebook page.

Thanks Paul. I'm not ready for this yet, but I love the fact that you show the pictures of what to do. For some reason I find facebook a little scary. I have a chronically unusual surname, easy to find, so I am careful about posting it around. At the moment I am just getting used to using facebook slowly. Many thanks again for the tutorial.

Thanks for sharing, Paul. I used my siterubix.com to create apps as developer but it gave me an error. I guess it's time to have my own domain and be able to set this up soon -- got it in my "To Do" list now.

Hi Roger, not specifically no. I have this setup on some of my sites and haven't particularly noticed any change in bounce rates. It is easy enough for the visitor to click the X and dismiss the lightbox - I set it show them it only once every three days so it is not overly intrusive. I get your point though. Thanks for your comment, Paul
