<h4>EOL Notice</h4>
<p>This plugin has been sunset as of 5/21/2026. Big thank you to all the users who have contributed over the past 16 years – this was not an easy decision, but unfortunately, Facebook’s aggressive stance towards developers has just made it too difficult for a solo dev to maintain. Please see <a href="https://www.justin-klein.com/projects/facebook-photo-fetcher" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a> for details & a full explanation.</p>
<h4>Description</h4>
<p>Social Photo Fetcher (previously called “Facebook Photo Fetcher”) allows you to quickly and easily generate WordPress photo galleries from Facebook albums.</p>
<p>The idea was inspired by <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fotobook/" rel="ugc">Fotobook</a>, though its approach is fundamentally different: while Fotobook’s emphasis is on automation, this plugin allows a great deal of customization.  With it you can create galleries in any Post or Page you like, right alongside your regular content. You do this simply by putting a “magic HTML tag” in the post’s content – much like <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Shortcode</a>. Upon saving, the tag will instantly be populated with the Facebook album content. Presentation is fully customizable via parameters to the “magic tag” – you can choose to show only a subset of an album’s photos, change the number of photos per column, show photo captions, and more.  Plus, Social Photo Fetcher doesn’t limit you to just your own albums: it can create galleries from fanpages as well.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uses Facebook’s API to instantly create WordPress photo galleries from Facebook albums.</li>
<li>Galleries are fully customizable: you can import complete albums, select excerpts, random excerpts, album descriptions, photo captions, and more.</li>
<li>Galleries can be organized however you like: in any post or page, alone or alongside your other content.</li>
<li>Simple PHP template function allows programmers to manually embed albums in any template or widget.</li>
<li>Built-in LightBox: Photos appear in attractive pop-up overlays without the need for any other plugins.</li>
<li>Admin panel handles all the setup for you: Just login and you’re ready to start making albums.</li>
<li>No custom database tables required; galleries live in regular post content.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Donate</h3>
<p>Many hours have gone into developing & maintaining this plugin, far beyond my own personal needs. If you find it useful, please consider <a href="https://www.justin-klein.com/projects/facebook-photo-fetcher/#donate" rel="nofollow ugc">making a donation</a> to help support its continued development.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin uses the Facebook API to fetch photo albums from Facebook. Facebook’s security rules require that apps must authorize from one specific, known location. In order comply with this requirement, when you first authorize the plugin from its admin panel, a Facebook dialog will be initiated via my own authentication server. The dialog itself is shown directly by Facebook, and Facebook handles the entire login process – no personal information will be transferred via my server, as Facebook only supplies a single-use token which I then hand back to your site to be stored. This is what the plugin uses in order to fetch the photos. For more information about how the Facebook authorization process works, please see <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/web" rel="nofollow ugc">Facebook’s documentation</a>.</p>
<p>Usage of this plugin means the site administrator is consenting to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/policy.php" rel="nofollow ugc">Facebook’s data policy</a>. Fetched album data will be stored in your WordPress database, in posts or pages of your choosing. It can be removed by deleting those posts or pages. You are solely responsible for the security and protection of the fetched data, as it resides on and is hosted within your own WordPress site.</p>
