Thank you so much for putting this together. You are so awesome!!! It helped me a lot and as a wordpress developer, I plan on using Essential Grid ALOT for various projects. Glad you got to go on a trip and enjoy some downtime this summer. Very important for us web geeks. Have a wonderful day! :) mary
What an awesome comment! So glad it's been useful. Have fun with it, there are endless possibilities with it, which is why I love it so much. Let me know if you get stuck on anything, no promises, but happy to help if I can.
Awesome Post! thanks a bunch!!!! 2 questions 1) Can I feed my reviews section from my business page as content in my grid? 2) the reason why I'm asking this instead of just trying it out myself is that I'm waiting for essential grid support in getting back to me regarding an error I'm getting from my current feed "Facebook reports: An access token is required to request this resource." which leads to my second question....did you recently get this error message on your fb feeds? Thanks again for an awesome post!
Thx a lot. Really useful info especially how to obtain the Facebook API. However I have an issue I can't resolve. Is there a way to create a grid of Facebook Albums and when an item is clicked it opens a grid of the Album Photos?
Excellent video as always! I seem to find a use for Essential Grid in nearly every site I make, often several uses. One oddity with using it for Facebook streams though - it doesn't do word wrap correctly. Unlike the grids I create using posts as the source there is something about how it's handling the text from Facebook which causes it to cutoff words at the right margin instead of pushing them to the next line. It's even like this on the ThemePunch demo page. Do you know of a solution to this? My Google-fu might be weak this morning but I haven't been able to find anything.
Jason Griffin sorry I missed your comment. Just saw it today. Hmmm that's a tricky one. I haven't seen that yet. I'd try reaching it to the Theme punch support team. They're pretty good at responding. It might be a. If they need to fix.
No worries! Ironically the issue is actually occurring in your video, as early as at 0:32 Unfortunately I can't approach Theme Punch as the plugin came packaged with X Theme. X Theme would theoretically support it but I've used an alternative solution in the short term and never got around to engaging them. If I do I'll post any provided solution here.
Very nice tutorial, I am trying to link to a Facebook photo album, the grids seems to stop at 25 pictures. Do you know a way to get more photos in the grid? Thanks! :-)
Thank you for this very helpful explanation. I tried it, and it worked well - same as you showed it in your tutorial. But today I opened the site and got an error: "facebook api requires session when calling from a desktop app" So do you have any idea, what happened?
thanks for the video tutorial !! Realy good job.:D I followed all the details and everything went well. I wanted to ask if the Facebook post is a video, as you can see it in lightbox? If it's possible. Because it only displays the image trumb. Thank you so much.
Actually, I don't know that, because my FB posts weren't videos. If you used the FB skin and it didn't play a video then perhaps not. That might be one to ask the Theme Punch support team.

Kornelia Neugebauer oh that's interesting. I wonder if they made changes. I'll have to go have a look. I'll get back to you with any info I find.
You´re great, thanks!

Thank you so much for the answer ! Yes I think isn't possible with Fb skin. I will check the support !! .
Need a new version of this as its really changed now on Facebook!
It is 2 years old now. I'll see if I can get some time in the next month to update it.
