Add Link to Facebook

It is a simple way of exporting newly created content on Facebook without many actions from the publishers.

All is done automatically.

The link title will be the post title.

The link description will be the excerpt, or part of the post text if there is none.

The admin configure a link image (WordPress icon, featured image or custom image) or he can let Facebook select one automatically.

Support is available for multi-user network sites and shortcodes.

The PRO version allows webmasters to embed more than one Facebook wall simultaneously.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
