 * Hi there!
    For quite a while my installation of Simple Facebook Connect is broken.
 * **The setup:**
    * WordPress 3.0.1 * Simple Facebook Connect 0.21 * Offline Permission
   granted * Publish Permission granted * Publish Permission granted for fan page
 * **The problem:**
    When I publish a new blog post I get the error message below
   on an otherwise blank screen. The post is not being sent to Facebook. However,
   it is published on the blog.
 * `Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'FacebookRestClientException' with message '
   Session key invalid or no longer valid' in /path/removed/for/post/wp-content/
   plugins/simple-facebook-connect/facebook-platform/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php:
   3112 Stack trace: #0 /path/removed/for/post/wp-content/plugins/simple-facebook-
   connect/facebook-platform/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php(926): FacebookRestClient-

   plugins/simple-facebook-connect/sfc-publish.php(371): FacebookRestClient->stream_publish(
   NULL, '{"name":"Facebo...', '[{"text":"Share...', NULL, '102335746471594') #2/

   for/post/wp-content/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/facebook-platform/facebookapi_php5_restlib.
   php on line 3`
 * If later on I click the “Publish on Facebook”-Button, things work out as expected.
 * Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks!

 * **Update!**
    The problem above could be solved by deleting all the cookies in
   my browser. _However,_ the posts still are not being published on Facebook automatically.

 * **Problem sovled!**
    I created a new application on Facebook and updated the 
   settings in SFC. Then I had to grant Offline-Permission and Facebook-Permission
   again and now it all seems to be working.
 * But if anybody know a better way to fix this, you are welcome to let us know!

 * I’m having the same problem. Can you please explain how and where you set those
   permissions?

    For me it was on /wp-
   admin/options-general.php?page=sfc in WordPress backend and then go to the section
   which says «Publish Settings». Click those buttons and follow the process.
 * If you still have troubles, delete your cookies and set up a new FB application.
   Then update the data in Simple Facebook Connect and re-apply the permissions.
 * Hope this helps!
