# [Plugin: Facebook Connect] Invalid API key specified

 * Hi all,
 * I’m having problems with Facebook Connect in that when I click on the ‘Connect’
   button the Facebook box states ‘Invalid API key specified’… I’ve double, triple,
   quadruple checked all the API details and they’re all correct – even functioning
   on other Facebook plugins…
 * Having looked at the query URL, it gives a value of ‘undefined’ for the API key.
   I’d assume that’s the problem.
 * Does anyone know how I can fix this?
 * Many thanks in advance.

 * OK – that problem has gone, but I have a new one…
 * If I’m not logged in to Facebook, there is no button, just text saying ‘Connect’.
 * If I’m logged in to Facebook, a Logout button is present, though it doesn’t appear
   to function. If I then log out of Facebook it says the following and breaks the
   site: Error: failed to get your email from Facebook!
 * The above is all in Chrome. Internet Explorer never sees a button – just ‘Connect’
   or ‘Logout’ text. I’ve put the jquery bit into the head, though it’s not doing
   any good sadly.
 * Any thoughts?

 * Hi, can be javascript issue: jquery not being present. I’ve just tagged 1.4, 
   try it (should be available soon) and let me know if that will fix the situation.
