Is it possible to pull in just the most recent status from a Facebook page and display that in a Wordpress Widget? I need to have the most recent status from 4 different Facebook pages in 4 different widgets in my Wordpress site.
I did the Facebook Like Box - but it slows the site load time down, and all I really want is just one status update, not a list of them like the Like Box brings in.
Hmmm... that one would work. It would be better if there were a way to do it without having to get into each of my client's Facebook accounts. Is that even possible...?
Well you can just append graph. to the domain of the fan page. You can notice it outputs a JSON which has ID, that is the user_id, just copy it. But you still have to generate the access token, which is the annoying part.
Awesome - thank-you! So does that mean that I don't have to go into every account to generate an access token, I can just do it once from my account and make it work...?
Ok - this one seems to be ever so elusive.

I still haven't found a way to pull this off - any ideas?
If you know a little PHP you could use http://itslennysfault.com/easiest-way-to-get-the-latest-status-from-facebook-fan-pages-in-php

I was afraid that was the case. Thank-you for your help!
I sent you an access token in a message, use it responsibly ;)
