 * Is it possible to configure multiple authors to each have their own publishing
   rights? I much prefer your plugin, but I just switched over from the “add-link-
   to-facebook” plugin which offers that as a default setting.

 * I’m not sure what you mean by “multiple authors to each have their own publishing
   rights”, exactly. Can you explain in greater detail?

 * I’m just starting a blog site which has multiple authors who each write their
   own topics. The way your plugin is currently set up, only one person can set 
   the posting rights.
 * Let’s say I have Myself and Author 2. I’m the admin, and set the posting rights
   to post to my facebook page, and my fan page.
 * Author 2 logs into their own account, and wants to configure their posts to post
   to their facebook.
 * I currently don’t see support for author 2 to do this, as the plugin setting 
   options don’t show up. I logged into their account to check for them.

 * There’s nothing for them to set up. The automatic posting mechanism is blog-wide.
   When they post, it will auto-post just the same. If you set it up to auto-post
   to the Fan Page, then it will, regardless of who makes the post on the site.
 * If they want to manually publish to their own profile, they should have a Facebook
   Publisher metabox on the Edit post screen that will let them manually make a 
   post whenever they want. Check the Screen Options dropdown to turn it on if you’re
   not seeing it.
 * Auto-posting applies to every post made by anybody, automatically. Manual posting
   is at the discretion of the author, more or less.

 * I will consider making the automatic-Profile-posting configurable per-user though.
   This would make a bit more sense, since right now if you configure automatic 
   profile posting, and author 2 posts, then it’s going to show up on your profile,
   not his.

 * Thanks for the quick response. I hope you do decide to use this method in the
   future, as this is a great plugin, and I would love to see support for multiple
   authors. Until then, I’m using a mixture of setting between this plugin, and 
   the “add-link-to-facebook” plugin to get desired outcome. I shall be checking
   back in the future. Keep up the great work!
