Hi there,

do you have another idea what we could do to give the facebook plugin a better look?

I’m afraid we aren’t able to modify the internal appearance of the Facebook widget with CSS. The widget uses an HTML iframe tag, which means that all of the content you see within the Facebook area of the widget is loaded directly from Facebook’s servers. CSS changes can only affect content loaded from the WordPress.com servers.

It should be larger maybe full size.

The theme’s design limits the available size of the Facebook widget to 30% of the provided space, which works out to 312px. However, you can increase this width for large screens by adding the following CSS:
```
/*Increase Facebook Like Box Width on Large Screens*/

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    .header-widget-area-wrapper .widget.widget_facebook_likebox {
        flex-basis: 500px;
    }
}
```
Since you’ve set the widget to display 500px wide in the widget settings, adding this CSS will allow the widget to use that full 500px.

Hi there
Thank you so much for reply. I modified the website with your CSS-Tipps. I am afraid, but I have no good news. My customer is still not happy about the facebook integration.
I read that WP has a beta version for a full size implementation in their loop. Calles: custom facebook feed

Can we install that one? Or do you have another idea?

Thanks,
simone
