Facebook count isn't showing on the metabox

[dhanendran]

Plugin version

1.3.0

Current Behaviour

Facebook count is always 0 in metabox

Expected Behaviour

In metabox, Facebook count should show the count from FB

Possible Solution

We need to pass the fields=engagement query param to https://graph.facebook.com/. At the moment plugin is passing only the id and token, with this param FB is returning the same id which we passed. When I add the fields=engagement to the URL, I'm getting reaction_count, share_count, comment_count.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

https://graph.facebook.com/?id=https%3A%2F%2Fbreakingdefense.com%2F2021%2F04%2Fwhy-putin-threatens-ukraine%2F&access_token={FB_TOKEN}

https://graph.facebook.com/?id=https%3A%2F%2Fbreakingdefense.com%2F2021%2F04%2Fwhy-putin-threatens-ukraine%2F&access_token={FB_TOKEN}&fields=engagement
