Hi AJ! Thanks for the FB plugin. For some reason, it isn’t working on my blog. I am getting an error “The href URL must be absolute”. Any idea how to fix it?

Hi! I want to remove/Uninstall the plug in from my wordpress page with template Striking, and cannot find the way. Is not available in the options nor the plugins manager.
How can I do it?

Thanks for your plugin. But I am not able to find the settings. You mentioned a “menu” to format, but I do not see that as well. I appreciate your help.
Thank you, sir,

I installed the FB Like button for WordPress and it doesn’t show up. I use WP 2.8.6 so maybe that’s why? I also use the wp-e-commerce plugin which might disagree with your plug in. How can I un-install the FB Like button plug-in

I have modified your (great) plugin to display “Like” in local language, it’s very simple.
This is the code:
function wp_fb_like_format( $align )
{
…
$output = ”;
…
}
If you want, insert in next release of plugin.

Fantastic plugin!
I first tried the “simple” plugin which put the button on all pages and posts, which is exactly what I wanted minus the home page… then tried this full version, but it only shows up on my posts. Is there a shortcode I can use to put it on all or select pages too?
Great work, thank you!

Hi AJ,
Regarding your WordPress Facebook Like Plugin..
I was wondering and I am sure a lot of other people too if there is a way to tell from the stats “Statpress V” give for a wordpress page who it was that liked a post. I have been looking for hours and can;t seem to find a way to tell why I get hits with referrer stating :
“http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?action=like&channel_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mywebsite.com%2F%3Fattachment_id%3D285%26fb_xd_fragment%23%3F%3D%26cb%3Dfe01535a58e89a%26relation%3Dparent.parent%26transport%3Dfragment&colorscheme=dark&font=verdana&href=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.mywebsite.coml%252F%253Fattachment_id%253D285&layout=standard&locale=en_US&node_type=1&sdk=joey&send=true&show_faces=true&width=450″
Is it possible for you to shed some light?
TIA

Hi John, the way social networks work when it comes to this is easy, they respect (or should respect) privacy. You will never see all visitors who liked your post because some of them aren’t your friends or on your social graph (circle). You’ll only see people who are within your social graph.
Let’s say UserA liked your post but UserA’s privacy is set to “Friend’s only” and if UserA isn’t your friend, then you won’t see his face. However you’ll see a “Like”.
I hope I’m making sense.
by aj on August 30, 2011 at 7:56 AM. #
Thanks for your answer. Followup-question would be:
Can I easily find what page or image specificly was liked? Because I have the like-button at over 500 places and I obviously can;t check them manually? :)

I´ve downloaded this for a while ago and it worked fine, but now it seems like the plugin has done something to my blog… I can´t log in anymore and the text that page shows is: ”
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\Inetpub\vhosts\ninjapuff.se\httpdocs\blog\wp-content\plugins\facebook-like-widget\facebook-like-widget.php:4) in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\ninjapuff.se\httpdocs\blog\wp-login.php on line 353″
I´ve talk to the owner of the server my bog is on and he says that he can´t fix it because the problem is from a third part, this plugin. I haven´t done any changes to it so now I wonder what happened. I don´t really want my blog to disapear thanks to your plugin. This is the fourth day now and I starts to get really worried.
Do you anything about this or how to fix it? Did you do any new update or what happened?
by Ninni on August 20, 2011 at 7:07 AM. #
Haven’t updated yet. Maybe there’s a space before the script on your wordpress template file. e.g. functions.php? WordPress hates that.
by aj on August 24, 2011 at 12:06 PM. #
How do you remove all the whitespace? I have disabled faces but there is still a giant whitespace
by Chris Colotti on August 9, 2011 at 8:05 AM. #
On the option inside your WordPress admin. You should be able to control your height and width.

Hi, thanks for the pluggins , I have the Facebook Like, but doesn´t work. Didn´t count the likes. I don´t know why… So i would like that you would be able to help us…Because I really don´t know what to do. Thank you!

Hi,

Two of my pages now has 1K LIKES but I need to know the exact number of likes.

I have a black/dark background text after like can only barely been seen. How do I fix.
by GB on May 26, 2011 at 8:27 PM. #
Use the dark option. It should be there.
by aj on May 26, 2011 at 9:26 PM. #
Is there any shortcode for this plugin to be able to include it anywhere else, such as on your pages?

I downloaded your FB like button for wordpress. I think deactivated and deleted the plugin, but it is still appearing and I can’t get rid of it. It no longer appears in my list of plugins, but it appears in my dashboard and the buttons are still appearing. Nothing personal, just wanted to play around with some others, but I can’t. I can’t get rid of it. HELP…

I just visited your blog and I don’t see it. ???

Dear AJ Batac,
I have some problems with your Simple Facebook Like WordPress Plugin.
How Can I define the image that appears in facebook wall after click “i like” a post?
Now it seems that it’s a random system and never detects the correct one image to display.
We expect your response!
Thanks!! :)

That should be Facebook not the plugin. The plugin only communicates to Facebook once. If the post is gone on Facebook, then it might have been deleted.
by AJ Batac on May 7, 2011 at 11:27 AM. #
Hi!
It seems that the plugin is causing the wrong image to display in Facebook. There is an image in the post, but when somebody “likes” the post, another image (also on the page) appears as part of the facebook update.
Could it be a clash with PhotoSmash gallery plugin?

I have this same problem.
I get a Facebook or Tweet icon (the same icons I have displayed in the sidebar) in the facebook page, nothing to do with the blog post picture or my logo.
Everything else is dandy! Nice Plugin!!

Hi, ive got a question:
I only see the facebook Like in my wordpress index page.
Its possible to be attached always to posts?
by Jose Barros on April 12, 2011 at 2:41 PM. #
This is the default behavior. It it is not doing this, then there’s something wrong with your WordPress template settings.

How do you remove the like button from selected posts but still have it enabled for all posts?

This is not yet available on this version but is coming.
