I'd like to post my Facebook status updates via a WordPress sidebar widget. How do I do it? - Mike - 12-10-2012 03:54 PM
I have recently started hosting my own site using WordPress as a back-end. I would like my Facebook status updates to be posted to my sidebar automatically. I imagine I would need some sort of widget for this, but I'm having difficulty locating one. Any suggestions?

Fist you will have to make a facebook app that posts status by its self. then a widget to to post the stuff in for your website. I have never done this before so I am not fully shure how to do it. Sorry.
Try the facebook developer page.

Facebook badges work fine on pretty much any website including WP. Active scripting, will only work if you have your own domain and not hosting on wordpress.com

Looks like you can create a profile update for your Wordpress blog with an RSS feed widget - neat!
Oop that hongkiat link is the first one I found - but facebook has changed since then - here's a workaround:
