I have had been beta testing Facebook’s Save button for quite some time now. This last week at F8 conference they made the API public. So, I went ahead and built a WordPress plugin for it.

Introducing Facebook Save Button For WordPress
Ahmad Awais
This plugin adds a facebook save button to your posts, pages, before/after content and provides you with the [fbs] shortcode to add the button anywhere you want.
What is a Facebook Save Button?
The save button lets people save items or services to a private list on Facebook, share it with friends, and receive relevant notifications. For example, a person can save an item of clothing, trip, or link that they’re thinking about and go back to that list for future consumption, or get notified when that item or trip has a promotional deal.

thanks for being so helpful…
Great work ..
How can I modify the button text from “Save to Facebook” to “Salvar no Facebook” (pt_BR)?
That text is handled by Facebook, which language are you talking about? I will see if there is an option for setting the language in there.
Hai Ahmad Awais, thanks for this plugin, i really like it.
I want to ask, is it possible to change button style ? because i see at this page.
they have different style for the button.
thanks.
Glad you like it. Thank You! ?
And No that is a custom design. Though I can make something like that in the future.
Hi! Is it possible to automaticallly add the save button to each post? I tried but I am not really good with PHP. Now I do it manually.
It’s possible for sure! You’ll have to edit your theme to do that! If you want me to do it for you, you can contact me from the link in the footer! #paidwork
