The Box is disappeared

  • Same problem here, most likely a problem with the Facebook Api but the box nor the button is showing.

    Same problem here. Worked fine for the past two years, then noticed last night the like box is just gone from the page. Checked settings, everything looks fine. Widget is in the right place, no changes on the admin side, just doesn’t show up. I moved it to a new widget location. Same. There is a small blank place holder, but no facebook like box.

    Have had other weird things going on with FB last couple days. So its likely they broke it. But its frustrating. Anyone figure this one out yet?

    I’ve confirmed, about 99.9% chance, that this has been caused by a change in FB api. I have a second site I’ve been building for a non-profit. It’s not finished and not live yet. The Facebook Like Box Widget had been installed and worked fine. I haven’t visited, or made any changes to this wordpress installation in a couple weeks. No additional plugins to potentially conflict, no updates to either wordpress or the plugin, nothing. The only possible change that could have taken place to affect the FB like feed would have to have been on FB’s end. The box is gone from this temporary site as well.

    I wonder if other 3rd party facebook like/feed plugins are experiencing the same problem.

    You don’t really need this plug-in if you are simply placing it in a text widget area.

    Facebook gives you everything you need:

    Yes lol but unfortunately the Text Widget Box directly from Facebook doesn’t show anymore either. Already tried that, same problem. And I do need the widget cause the normal text widget lacks several styling options that this one does have.

    I had the same issue. I then discovered that because I was logged into my page (not profile) on facebook, the widget did not show details. I discovered this because FB widgets also did not work on other websites.

    I find the same trouble with my site obat kuat. So anyone have solution?

    Hi, everybody, I’ve just find like box cod from Facebook.

    Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening <body> tag.

    <div id=”fb-root”></div>
    <script>(function(d, s, id) {
    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
    js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/id_ID/all.js#xfbml=1”;
    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
    }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));</script>

    Place this code in text widget of your wordpress site

    <div class=”fb-like-box” data-href=”YOUR fACEBOOK URL” data-width=”287″ data-height=”335″ data-colorscheme=”light” data-show-faces=”true” data-header=”true” data-stream=”false” data-show-border=”true”></div>

    There have been several changes in the Anti Virus programm extensions in several browsers.

    Both Avast and Anti Vir come with a safe web surfing extension that is installed in both Firefox and Chrome. This extension blocks the Widgets from Facebook. So make sure you either turn them off or remove them.

    I also found that other people might still see the box who have different antivirus software running or are using browsers like Opera or Safari.

    So be sure to ask someone else if they can see the box if you yourself cannot. Another problem that is very commonly causing for the box to dissapear are the new settings on the Facebook Fanpages. The pages can now be blocked for countries and age restrictions so on your facebook page make sure you do not have the Age restriction, or the country restriction on but set to everybody.

    As Obat mentioned there are now new ways of adding a facebook fanbox or button to your site using that piece of coding. I have placed mine at the top of my home page and then the code of the widget where it is supposed to show it works perfectly now.

    If you do not wish to code it into your html you can also just use the Iframe option given by facebook. Just make sure you’ve checked all the above options, AND if you still have any trouble try clearing your browser Cache. I think that sums up about every problem there was with the box dissapearing. Hope this helps some of you also to get your like box working again.

    Putting the code posted by obat right after the body tag in header.php solved the issue for me. Here is the code:

    <div id=”fb-root”></div>
    <script>(function(d, s, id) {
    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
    js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/id_ID/all.js#xfbml=1”;
    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
    }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));</script>

    Remember to change this part of the code for your own language:

    js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/id_ID/all.js#xfbml=1”;

    id_ID there (right after connect.facebook.net) is Indonesian and if you leave it that way your box will say “suka” instead of like! :))

    Change it to en_EN for English. So the English one would look like this:

    js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_EN/all.js#xfbml=1”;

    Here is the language codes for the rest:

    Hope this helps.

    I have same problem. It worked before with the plugin, but recently it stopped working. I tried the code method explain above, but while the like box appeared (as well as the photo), the stream of post was still missing. Anybody else had different solution?

    Thank you!!

    Suddenly started with this problem but concerned there was no response from the author in the four months this was raised so tried the plugin below. Works like a dream and also has a shortcode you can put in a page or a post.
