Display Facebook updates in your wordpress dashboard
I’m currently on Facebook mood, so you might see Facebook related posts for the next couple of days in a row.
Luckily I now can open Facebook in my office. Otherwise this Facebook Dashboard Widget plugin would come in handy to view what your Facebook’s friends are doing
Basically it display the RSS feed of your friend’s notification, status update and posted items and display it on your Wordpress’s dashboard.
You can copy and paste the feed links to your RSS reader as well to view the similar items, but this plugin is intended so you can view everything in one places (especially if you spend most of your time in your blog)
Installation
1. Download the plugin
2. Unzip facebook-dashboard-widget.zip
3. Upload the entire facebook-dashboard-widget folder to your plugins directory
4. Go to the Plugins page in your WordPress Administration area and click to ‘Activate’ the Facebook Dashboard Widget.
5. Setup your plugin accordingly by following steps provided on the setup menu
Open you dashboard, and you should be able to view it such as on the screen shot below

Hi Zaki,
Have you implement the plugin into your blog.
I can’t see the feed anywhere on your blog.
Or does it only appear on your dashboard?

Yes, it is viewable from the dashboard only

Seems like you are hooked to Facebook.
I dont use face book anymore. I dont like site like that.
Recently I made a new account in facebook and try to do like that.
Hi,
I’m having a problem with this plugin:
In the control panel (/wp-admin/plugins.php) the title is black (where any other plugins have a blue title). And it does not show up in ’settings’ when I activate it.
I’m using PHP Version 5 (though I have also tried the v.4 version).
Hi, I use php v 4.xx. It works fine, before I deactivated it recently, when it cause time out every time I attempt to do posting. I think you should try the plugin author for further assitant
Will it work in 2.7? This plugin seems pretty interesting..
i think its new to me. thanks for sharing.
Awesome. I was looking for something similar for my blog too. Thanks for sharing. Even I’m kind of hooked in to facebook myself. Thanks for the post and share. Cheers
Cool widget! Thanks for sharing. Will use it on my blog.
This is great, thanks for sharing i have been looking for something like this for ages!…
I can keep track of all my facebook goings on at work!!….
This plug in is just great! I’ve had problems about logging on to facebook at work, now i can slowly sneak up thanks to this! A very handy tool for those of us who are deprived of facebook at work!
I´m looking for a plugin where you can choose, while writing in facebook, if you want to publish the status update on a wordpress site aswell at the same time! Can this plugin do that? Or anyone knows a plugin that does?
I´m trying to make a facebook status update-stream from several different persons straight into my wp-blog, but I don´t want to let everything end up in wp!
@Anders, nope this plugin can’t do that.
