  Hi

  I have a simple blog using the Ari theme, and have added the Facebook Like box as a widget to the secondary sidebar. The widget has included my Facebook profile photo as a badge, but it is so small it’s unreadable.

  Can I either increase the size of the image, or delete it? I have trawled through the support pages and the forums but can’t find the answer.

  Many thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello!

  Editing the size of the photo requires the adding some code.
  Where you find the src img, add height=”NUMBERpx HERE;” and width=”NUMBERpx HERE;”
  I have a photo that shows what code you need to add.

  Thanks. I’m assuming that needs the Custom Design upgrade, which I don’t have? The coding you’ve amended is not available to me.

  I’ve read the support item on creating badges – sadly it doesn’t explain how to delete one that a widget has created…

  I’ve now deleted the Facebook Like Box and instead used the code supplied by Facebook to add a badge. It doesn’t allow me to show the faces of our followers, which is a shame, but the profile photo is a more sensible size.

  If anyone knows how to change or delete the badge used by the Like Box, without the Custom Design upgrade, I’d still be interested.
