Thank you, a patch should be available shortly (I just pushed it to the repository)

The problem is that when the Facebook bot visits the page to gather the information about it (from the og: meta values) it sees an error. You can see what the facebook bot see by using the debugger. For this page the output says that

Object at URL ‘https://socialheroics.com/social-heroics-design-challenge/’ of type ‘website’ is invalid because the domain ‘socialheroics.com’ is not allowed for the specified application id ‘397552810305317’. You can verify your configured ‘App Domain’ at https://developers.facebook.com/apps/397552810305317.

It seems that you have some sort of settings set for the application which is causing this. Try to create a brand new app just for WP-Connect – https://wp-connect.tomasvorobjov.com/docs/#configure

Ok, I’ll see what I can do but have you actually tried viewing it on a mobile? I’m just asking because of the following (taken from facebook.com)

The mobile version will automatically show up when a mobile device user agent is detected. You can turn this behavior off by setting the mobile parameter to false. Please note: the mobile version ignores the width parameter, and instead has a fluid width of 100% in order to resize well in portrait/landscape switching situations. You may need to adjust your CSS for your mobile site to take advantage of this behavior. If preferred, you can still control the width via a container element.

It’s been a while since I worked on this plugin … back then the facebook comments could have a width specified in the appropriate html tag but it accepted only pixel values. If percentage is now supported I’ll add it, if not I’ll have a look at some kind of css hack.

Thanks

Hi, I’m not exactly sure what you mean. Could you please elaborate a bit, e.g. a web/screenshot of the problem etc.

Thanks

Hi, to change the Facebook plugins to Spanish, just change the plugin language – have a look here https://wp-connect.tomasvorobjov.com/docs/#configure.

If you’d like have the WordPress administration area in Spanish, the plugin is built to support localization/internalization (translations) via the WordPress API but it has not been translated into languages other than English.

Hi,

it feels like we’re going in circles here… what your friend did was to like a particular article on your blog, namely

Jazz and the Art of the Detective Novel

. This is DIFFERENT from liking your blog (because the URL is different). The Facepile plugin display ONLY likes of the URL which you specify in the URL field when you add the widget!!! NO sub-urls, even on the same domains, are included in the count. Here’s the link displaying the Like count for the URL that yoru friend actually liked.

How did they like your page, you don’t have any like buttons there to like the url https://thomaskaufman.com/author Are you sure they didn’t like one of your posts instead?

This is still showing zero likes for your url

Hi, this is for theme/plugin developers to use WP Connect in their code – it goes into a theme(or plugin output if you write your own plugin) files. For example, you can add it to your footer.php in the place where you want the Facepile to appear (although a better way is to use the widget which generates exactly the same code)

hmmm, it must be then the output of the wp_title function in your WordPress installation – which version do you have?

if you want a temporary solution would be to remove the get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . part, so that the line looks like this:

$title = wp_title( $separator, FALSE, 'left' );

(you can do this yourself, just delete the unwanted part and hit the “update file” button at the bottom). One more thing, because Facebook caches the open graph data it pulls from pages you may need to reset the cache. This is done by entering the URL (for which you’d like to reset the cache) into the Linturl Facebook Tool (and hit “Debug”)

Meanwhile I’ll have a look at the wp_title function and see if I can fix the issue in the next release.

Thanks

Hi,

the problem is with the og:title value. If you have a look at the source of the html page, it gives the following: <meta property="og:title" content="Dance Yrself CleanBASTILLE - Laura Palmer EP" />

That is wrong, the site title and the post title should be separated by ‘ | ‘ but they’re not. I’m a bit puzzled as this works exactly as it is supposed to everywhere else I’ve looked. By any chance, did you or anyone else modify any of the plugin’s code?

If not, could you please do the following:

In your dashboard go to

Plugins > Editor

then on the right side in the “Select plugin to edit” select “WordPress Connect” and under “Plugin Files” find “wordpress-connect/src/WordpressConnect.php” (should be 5th from the top but may not)

Click on the file and find the line that looks like this:

$title = [some stuff here]

can you tell me the following is there:

$separator = '|';
$title = get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . wp_title( $separator, FALSE, 'left' );

if so, could you scroll down a bit and check that the following is there

<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo $title; ?>" />

intact?

Thanks

1.) you do this through 2.)
2.) you need (at least some) PHP/Wordpress development skills

1.) You need a like button with the url to “https://thomaskaufman.com/author/”, all the like buttons you have link to the posts, e.g. https://thomaskaufman.com/author/jazz-and-the-art-of-the-detective-novel/ – The facepile Facebook plugins displays ONLY users who liked “https://thomaskaufman.com/author/”

2.) The like button (with the url to https://thomaskaufman.com/author/) must be added through the theme php code (or if you have a static page as your homepage you can add it manually – see Plugin Shortcode)

3.) use iframe

4.) this has something to the with wordpress internal redirects … I’ll have to have a look later

As you can see here the number of likes for the page “https://thomaskaufman.com/author/” is still zero. Could you please put the like button (with the url “https://thomaskaufman.com/author/”) and the facepile widgets (make sure the url is also “https://thomaskaufman.com/author/” – watch for the trailing slashes) back to your blog; once there I’ll have a look at the generated (x)html.
