    I am sure that everybody has seen there are websites with facebook connect option. Now, I wanna ask you, do you know a plug-in for wordpress, or a guide that can help me implement this option to my website (wordpress platform)?
    P.S Please excuse me if this thread was discussed before.

    Ya, there is such plugin. But you have to create facebook application to use this function.

    Yes of course, I am aware of that, but besides creating an facebook app, there is more you have to do. I have read some ebooks, blog posts, and I understand that you also have to copy some *.php files to your server. Things can get a little complex, so that is way am more interested if anybody, has a more helpfull guide, or knows a plug-in like "facebook comments for wordpress" if you are familliar with this sort of plug-ins. Not a simple answer like "you have to search on google or read on wikipedia, there you will find the answer".

    There's quite a few, if you search in wordpress plugins (from your admin panel/install plugins and then search):

    Facebook Connect - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-facebook-connect/ - although it creates an account for them also?
    Faux Facebook Connect - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/faux-facebook-connect/ - set up for MU but should work
    Simple Facebook Connect - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/ - Enables your site to connect to Facebook with JS SDK (heaps of features)
    Facebook AWD All in one - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-awd/ - Add Socials plugins, OpenGraph, Comments and FB connect.

    Note: Just go to Admin panel > search > and search for the title I provided and install.

    No worries!! Did you find one to use? I always find small faults in some of the plugins.
