Here’s a cliff notes version for how to create an app on Facebook.
For this example, we’ll create a Facebook app to put existing an WordPress page on a Page Tab:
Create a Facebook app:
Start here> http://developers.facebook.com/apps
Create New App .. >
Give it a name .. >
Continue .. >
Complete captcha .. >
Continue .. >
Fill in the following:
Display Name
Site URL
Canvas URL (same as Site URL for this example)
Secure Canvas URL (https – you will need an SSL certificate installed on your site)
Page Tab Name
Page Tab URL (same as Canvas URL for this example)
Secure Page Tab URL (same as Secure Canvas URL for this example)
>Save Changes
Load this url: http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL
Replace YOUR_APP_ID (15 digit number on the create app page immediately below app title) and YOUR_URL (url of your WordPress page)
Click the drop-down and select your Facebook page where you want to add the app
Click Add Page Tab
Check your FB page to confirm the app was added to one of your Page Tabs
Congratulations you’ve now created a Facebook app, added it to your Facebook Page tab and when clicked, will load your WordPress page!
TIP: keep the maximum width of your WordPress page at or below 810 pixels to avoid a horizontal scroll bar on your Facebook page.
