I have dicked around with this all morning 12/8/2022 and cannot get the FB GRAV plug-in to work. On StackOverflow the word is that FB changed the API and it's too much of a hassle to get your app through the approval process to invest time in the effort.

It is necessary to first create a developers account with FB/Meta. This will generate an ID and a secret key. We then may use the FB plug-in in various ways, here... See: Grav Facebook Plugin
