Important information
Starting from 1st May 2018, Facebook is requiring app review to allow new apps to query public Facebook content using the API. This means that you have to submit your app for review (for the ‘Page Public Content Access’ permission) and get accepted, for the plugin to import content from Facebook, using your App key and secret.
However, the plugin will provide you a functional (preapproved) app id and secret that can be used to import public Facebook content. More info on plugin config + Facebook app approval, here.
Also, the plugin can import posts from Facebook groups you manage (are administrator of). Video tutorial here.
Posting publicly to Facebook
If you wish to publish content publicly on Facebook, you will need to submit your Facebook app for review.
FACEBOOK APP PERMISSIONS NEEDED for posting to Facebook:
if you want to publish to Facebook pages: publish_pages, manage_pages
if you want to publish to Facebook groups: publish_to_groups, groups_access_member_info, Groups API
For detailed help on app submission, please check this link.

What Can You Do With This Plugin?
FBomatic Automatic Post Generator and Facebook Auto Poster Plugin for WordPress is a breaking edge Facebook To WordPress and WordPress To Facebook post importer plugin that is ideal for auto blogging and automatic Facebook post publishing. It uses the Facebook Graph API to turn your website into a auto blogging or even a money making machine!
What is interesting to know is that content from Facebook groups and pages are not indexed by search engines. So, content generated in this way is automatically considered as unique in term of SEO.
It also can be used to automatically publish Facebook posts every time you publish a new post to your blog.
Using this plugin, you can automatically generate posts based on a set of predefined rules. These rules can generate posts from:- Any public Facebook group
- Any closed or secret Facebook group or page – of which you are admin (also, you have an app that is approved by Facebook review for group access)
- Any Facebook page
Note: this plugin will not post to personal Facebook profiles NOT owned by you (secret AND public groups and pages)!
