I read five years ago WpFORO team was working on a way to share posts and threads with Facebook groups. My biggest challenge is to get the 700+ members migrated to the forum. FB spoils people and it is hard to get people to migrate and using FB alone you take the chance  that one push of a FB employee finger destroys hundreds of hours of research.
So the best way to secure the data is to keep it on a forum, away from FBs control but to mirror daily posts between the two venues.
Has there ever been a plugin developed to share posts/topics with FB?

When a post/topic is created it shows on the FB group I own (both are private which has been the challenge) and visa versa?

I found something on wordpress but it only works on public forums/ groups not private.

Thanks,
Phil

@philhopethruscience-com,

You can use only the Facebook sharing option. You can find and configure it in the Dashboard>   Forums > Settings > API's admin page.

@sofy Thank you got the share working! It's only one way though. Replies on the FB group do not show on the forum. 1/2 way there.

@philhopethruscience-com,

We're really sorry, but the wpForo doesn't have the Facebook content cross-posting feature. 

Currently, we have plugin customization and custom addon development services at the gVectors Team. They can assess the work and create it for you. Just contact us via sales[at]gvectors.com email address and send a list of requirements you'd like to have.
