Once you have a Facebook app, setting up the Facebook Fetcher add-on takes two steps: authenticate the app in the settings and create a campaign that fetches from a page or group. If you don’t have an app yet, start with How can I create Facebook application?

In the WPeMatico settings.

1. Go to WPeMatico → Settings and open the Facebook Fetcher tab.
2. In Default app type, choose the type your app was created as: Pages (Business) to read the pages your account manages, Profile (Consumer) to read the posts of your own profile, or Old apps for apps created before Facebook had app types.
3. Paste the Default app ID and Default app secret of your app and save the settings.
4. Click Authenticate and accept the permissions in the Facebook window.

The same box shows the Valid OAuth redirect URI of your site. It must be registered in your Facebook app.

Note: If you change the app ID or the secret, the authorisation is removed and you have to authenticate the app again.

With the Facebook Fetcher campaign type.

1. Go to WPeMatico → Campaigns → Add New and choose the Facebook Fetcher campaign type.
2. In the Facebook Fetcher box, choose the page or group in Fetch posts from.
3. Optionally, set the Comments per Post and the Facebook Post Types to fetch (Normal, Photo, Video, Event, Link, Sale Post). If you don’t choose any, every type is fetched.
4. Publish the campaign and run it.

Check Convert #hashtags to categories to turn every hashtag of the post into a category. The campaign option Add auto Categories must be on as well.

Only with an approved app.

To fetch a public page that your account doesn’t manage, check Use another Facebook page in the campaign and type the address of the page. It only works when your app has the Page Public Content Access permission approved by Facebook.
