Probably referring to the promotional stuff, which is pretty prominent, though thankfully can be disabled, too.

Still love this plugin, though!

Okay, thanks again for the confirmation, Jeremy! Believe it or not, Jetpack’s Facebook Like Box functionality is actually more customizable than Facebook’s own WordPress plugin. For example, Facebook insists on their standard 292px min-width but Jetpack provides much more leeway!

Thanks again for your time and help. =)

Sorry, Jeremy,

I should have explained my goals better.

No, no issues with the URL — Jetpack’s Facebook functionality finds the page with no problems! I just need to change the page title to better match the layout provided by Facebook.

I have a long company name that looks jumbled, so I need to shorten it (hence “Acme Co.” instead of “Acme Company”) in this Jetpack widget by hard-coding it in myself.

What in facebook-likebox.php calls the page name value from Facebook? I need to hard-code this text string in myself.

All advice appreciated!!

Hi, Jeremy,

Thanks for the confirmation. Just one more question, please: where in facebook-likebox.php can I find the statement(s) that pull in from Facebook the name of the Facebook page?

I’d like to just “hard-code” that in myself (“Acme Co.” instead of “Acme Company”).

I am able to “close the bottom” of this widget by manipulating the height — 475px looks good in my theme — but then I get a whole other issue with those fan images (what Jetpack calls “faces”) being displayed in a weird way: the last one gets a line all its own, followed by empty spots!

Okay, an update for the record, in case it might help anyone:

The problem lies with Facebook, as non-WordPress webmasters also complain about this issue.

I managed to resolve the height problem by fiddingling with the Jetpack Facebook Likebox widget’s settings. Unfortunately, a new issue was created: instead of 15 “fan faces” I’m getting 16, which in my theme looks visually awkward on its own line, followed by empty spots!

Where in Jetpack can we control the number of fan faces displayed — or is that delivered straight from Facebook??

I should note that I’m not even logged into Facebook, nor have I made any modifications to this widget’s CSS, yet I’m having the same issue with the bottom of the FB Likebox being cut off!

The color scheme doesn’t change for me, though….

I’m getting a thin 1px border around #facebook-likebox-2 iframe with the color #aaaaaa…wherever could that be coming from???

I’d love an answer, too. I seem to be having a similar/related problem. Wish there was a way to attach images so that I can illustrate the situation!

What about the validation messages, please? Anyway to control their responsiveness??

Oh, thanks for the tutorial! =) Really appreciate the prompt and thorough reply!!

Super! Thanks so much. =)

Hi!

Sorry, I should have noted that I’m talking about Ad Injection widgets, if that matters any…I’m using Adblock Plus (sorry again: I’d misspelled the extension’s name) with the Opera browser on two machines: one doesn’t display the Ad Injection widget titles at all and consistently ignores the whole widget (not even their titles can be seen) while the other only displays the Alt Content Pool ad units on occasion.

I’ve now also noticed the same problems using Adblock Plus on Firefox and Chrome.

Adblock Plus doesn’t provide any logs, though there’s an extension to the extension that does…I’ll run that as a last resort (hate getting all “technical”!) — but as per your other suggestion, I did check the webpage source codes in all the affected browsers and discovered that in Opera the Alt Content Pool height and width had been set to 1 pixel both!! So I went into my Ad Injection widgets and made sure every one had the proper height and width — but Opera, Firefox, and Chrome are still not displaying the Alt Content Pool images (hosted on my own site), despite the page source now properly listing them!

One thing I also noticed…I use XHTML protocol in making sure that <IMG> is closed (“<IMG />“…with a forward slash) but the browsers’ page source codes render standard HTML (“<IMG>“…without a closing forward slash) — does that matter any? That’s the only difference I can find….

Maybe the Adblock Plus extension is just really “smart” and has been written to detect words like “ad” and “ad injection” in the HTML???

Sorry for the lengthy reply; I hope you can make sense of things and come up with some ideas as to what’s going on — ’cause I’m out of them myself!!

Hmmm, where’s that option, tonytroy?? And what’s your understanding of the “real effect” of nofollow/dofollow links, please?

Oh, okay, I understand now! Missing comma! =)

Works now. Thanks everyone!!
