Hi, it's me again… I've set a facebook likebox at the footer and all went well, until i tested it on Firefox: it's invisible!

By the way, the jetpack's twitter & facebook widgets show errors like showing `"<br />
<SPAN CLASS='WIDGET_FIRST'>FACEBOOK</SPAN> JETPACK"` on the title…
the page is http://www.wotake.es

I tried to reproduce the problem but it works just fine on my PC with Win8 + the latest version of Firefox. Maybe a browser extension causes the issue? I'll mark this thread for the other support staff members - maybe they can reproduce the problem.

Hi,

I can reproduce the issue. Win 7, FF it is not shown, while in Chrome it is shown.

The facebook iframe code looks incorrect to me unless you are trying to like a page on facebook from your website. since in the code below , the url in the query string should be the url of the page where the like button is located, and not a facebook url.

<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FWotake%2F206525936095381%3Ffref%3Dts&width=420&height=100&colorscheme=dark&show_faces=false&border_color=%23666666&stream=false&header=false&force_wall=false&locale=es_LA" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:420px; height:100px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

this is the way it should look ... I used one of my personal app id's

<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwotake.es&send=false&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=false&font=tahoma&colorscheme=light&action=like&height=35&appId=404057446298884" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

I would use the code on this page which will dynamically set the url of each of your pages http://elure.co/43_facebook-like-button-dynamic-url-javascript.htm

Thanks,

Hi,

This is wrong

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wotake/206525936095381?fref=ts

instead you should have http://www.wotakes.es in there ... the specific page on *your* website (not facebook) that you want people to like.

------------
Below is code that counts likes for the *entire website* and not a specific page (every page will have the same number of likes)
------------

<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwotake.es%2F&send=false&layout=box_count&width=100&show_faces=false&font=tahoma&colorscheme=light&action=like&height=90&appId=404057446298884" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:90px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Thanks,

Nick

Thank you for your interest, but it is not what i want. I need a widget to be shown on all browsers.

That widget shows a facebook page status ("likers", a facebook page like button…) it's like:

but i want it without faces and without wall… only the avatar and the button. The widget is fine (i've tested on many browsers but firefox and on other wordpress templates), but i'd like the info to be shown on firefox too

Hey lagalga,

I'm not sure what else to try. The code doesn't appear to work on my end in Firefox so it may just be the script being loaded in incorrectly for FF. It isn't actually loading in any data.

You might want to try going to facebook and getting the code straight from there and then just pasting that into a text widget.

See: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/

Regards,

Devin
