Installing the Facebook Extension

Install the Facebook extension in your WordPress site to add the Facebook Page meta box and the Facebook widget. Confirm the following before activating.

Requirements

  • SportsPress (free or Pro) installed and active

  • WordPress site reachable on the public internet — Facebook's Page Plugin SDK cannot fetch local-only domains

  • A Facebook Page URL for each team you want to embed

Steps

  1. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.

  2. Upload the sportspress-facebook.zip file from your ThemeBoy account.

  3. Click Install Now, then Activate.

The plugin loads its widget and meta boxes once sportspress_load_facebook_module returns true. SportsPress Pro and ThemeBoy themes set this automatically; otherwise see Settings and configuration.

Verification

  1. Edit any team at SportsPress → Teams.

  2. Confirm a Facebook meta box appears in the side column with a single Page URL input.

  3. Go to Appearance → Widgets and confirm the Facebook widget appears in the available widgets list.
