If not, and you're using a real privacy policy URL:

  1. Check it's definitely a valid URL that Facebook's Debug Tool can reach

  2. Try saving the basic settings - including privacy policy URL, then going back and changing the other settings you need

I have try to Log In with my facebook on my site and it say registration is disabled which is controlled by my s2member, not sure why it say that as i try to log in with facebook not register.

In this case you'll not be able to use this feature. Facebook and all future social login buttons creates account when they don't find an account with social network email. You can't be logged-in in WordPress/wpForo without an account. So it automatically creates a new account on first login.

I did this and it still stays to NO in the 5th step, when i set it to Yes it display a message.

You must provide a valid Privacy Policy URL in order take your app Live. Go to App Details and make sure it is valid.

But i not have such URL on my site.

This allows to add Facebook login, content cross-posting, sharing and other features... At the moment only Facebook login is available. Other features will be added in future releases.

To start using Facebook features you should get Facebook App ID and Secret Key to fill the according wpForo options in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > API's admin page:
