    @Danny – I wish it was a plugin, cos then I’d put it on all my sites :) It’s the reason I purchased this theme. The theme is called WP-Inspired by Solostream – I’m so in love with all of Solostream’s themes because he really knows how important those connect button call-to-actions are! :) And the backend is really sweet too, and the support is awesome. *All Hail solostream!* :)

    In regards to your second query about personal profiles.
    Yep – you personally need to be friends with them for it to work, only people you are connected to will show up when you hit the @ symbol – and – they need to have ‘liked’ your fan page:

    Test #1
    I tested Fan page to Profile for someone that ‘liked’ my page that I’m not personally connected to and…
    .. it doesn’t work.

    Test #2
    I tested Fan page to Profile for someone that doesn’t ‘like’ my page, but whom I’m friends with and…
    .. it doesn’t work

    Test #3
    I tested Fan page to Profile for someone that ‘likes’ my page, and who I ‘am’ friends with and..
    .. it works.

    oooh.. hey, new thing tonight.. the page doesn’t have to have you as a fave for it to work anymore…

    Just did a test with a brand spanking new fan page.

    You do have to be ‘friends’ or ‘like’ the page you want to mention, but neither have to be faves.

    Hiya Eric.. bad news :)

    1.) Become a Fan of their Page (ie: your profile needs to “like” their page)

    2.) Add their Facebook Page to your Pages Faves

    3.) They also need to Add your page to their Facebook Fan Pages faves for it to work.

    It may change, Facebook is forever changing things just to confuse the heck out of us lol, but check to see if their fan page has you has their fave’s first before you do #1 or #2 since it might be ‘all for nothing’.

    I would think Facebook wouldn’t require the other page to have yours as a fave, just with my testing, it needed to, but hopefully they change it to just be if both ‘like’ the page.

    Thanks @Sara for contacting.
    I think we worked it out in the end.
    I have all my privacy settings open, so that’s why mine works. But if you have your privacy settings (for My Status, Photos, and Posts) closed to the public, then your message doesn’t show up on the wall.
    A work-around however is that next to each status update, is a little padlock that you can click on before sharing. When you want to share it to the page, make sure you choose “Everyone” from that list before clicking on the share button.
