Using fewer social networks will increase performance by making fewer API requests in total.

When disabled, the plugin will not collect any data from that social network API. When stats are updated, the total will no longer include disabled social networks. However, any existing data from those networks will remain in the database; to completely delete old stats from the database, you must un-install this plugin and re-activate it or manually remove the post meta fields.

Fetch publicly available data

Publicly available data works out of the box and does not require any setup. If you experience problems with this option, try switching to Graph data. The numbers retrieved with this option may be estimates. Using the Graph API is strongly recommended.

Fetch Graph data with my Facebook App API Key (Recommended)

Graph data is more efficient for your server to retrieve and is the preferred way to gather data from Facebook, however it requires that you create a Facebook Developer account and enter an App ID and App Secret.

Step 1

    Go to Facebook to register a developer App

Step 2

Facebook App ID
Facebook App Secret (More Info)

Your App Secret will be used to generate an App Access Token which will be stored in your database. Make sure your database is secured, as anyone with access to read your database will be able to see your App Access Token.

{{#if facebook_auth_error}}

{{facebook_auth_error}}

{{/if}}

Your App Access Token is saved in the database.
