 * In custom setups of WordPress where the plugins directory might not be within
   the ABSPATH, **file_get_contents()** fails to load _FacebookLocales.xml_.
 * **settings-page.php** at lines 136 and 149 should use the following path:
    `WP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/
   wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/includes/FacebookLocales.xml'`
 * See the following page describing the procedure for a custom WordPress directory
   install : [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Moving_a_Root_install_to_its_own_directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Moving_a_Root_install_to_its_own_directory)
