Plugin Description
The Facebook Tab Manager allows you to create landing pages and other types of content to be displayed within Facebook, particularly within the tabs that appear on Facebook business pages and pages for other types of organizations. This provides a way of putting more interesting layouts and functionality into your Facebook pages, without the need to get too deep into fancy programming.
The Facebook Tab Manager was specifically designed to take advantage of a recent Facebook page redesign that added support for iframe tabs on Facebook pages. Optionally, you can now also specify content to be displayed on an associated canvas page.
Tab content can include most any WordPress content, including output from Shortcodes and other plugin functions.

Note: Facebook requires all “apps” and page tabs to be displayed within facebook.com be available from both an HTTP and an HTTPS address. This means you must obtain an SSL certificate for your web domain and configure it on your server. When Facebook users browse the website in HTTPS mode, you need to be able to present your embedded content at an HTTPS address also.
As an alternative, Carr Communications offers a subscription service including WordPress accounts with Facebook Tab Manager and SSL security pre-configured at TabMgr.com.
