Veronica Alvarado, Project Manager at Diocesan Veronica   We are going to have make Diocesan FB a developer, create an app, and do the same thing for Twitter it looks like. This looks like it will take some time and may take up to 3, yes 3 months to get approved for Facebook, that's at least what this xyzscripts (the plugin) site said and I remember Smash Balloon saying the same thing. This will either make us over budget on content and/or build.

Sooo... The problem with that is that we told them that we would do it before we even gave them the quote. So maybe we let them know and then get them to set it up?

Have we done this before on a site?

Not to my knowledge, I just know the plugins exist. TBH people have requested it and we just pretend we didn't hear them or tell them to just display FB posts on the website.

Something I just found out is that we can display FB posts on the website (we know this) BUT you can also push FB posts to Twitter automatically. 
This allows for all 3 to display the same information, but starts with FB rather than WP. Maybe this is an option?

This seems like it would be a lot better. I will give it a try with my account first to make sure it is not ridiculous or weird.

Okay, I'll let him know and hopefully he doesn't get upset with us. haha ':D

I let them know that we're doing it facebook to WP/Twitter. He can still choose, but I let him know that he would be the one updating the access token every 60 days or paying us to do it.
