  Hello. The Facebook Like box widget is designed to work with Facebook Page not Profile. This is stated in the widget. As much as people want this to work with their Profile account, it goes against logic — Profile is private and Page is public.

  @creationography: Did you take note of what shimworld said above? That should explain why you are getting that error message. Otherwise, please provide us with the URL you are entering in the widget.

  @commcompact: That’s because it’s a group. Facebook Like Box only works with pages, sorry.

  You can get any feed written on any wall (Facebook Profiles, Fan Pages, Groups, Events and Application Profile Pages). In fact, multiple feeds to multiple walls. You choose the combination.

  Is it possible to create a Facebook “like” button on the sidebar of my wordpress blog that links to the Facebook community page for the blog? E.g., instead of just sharing the particular article or the blog as a facebook link, it would direct people to “like” my blog’s existing community page on facebook.

  @nsolish: If you have a Facebook page, you can use the Facebook Like Box Widget that shimworld mentioned earlier. It’s among the available widgets at Appearance > Widgets. Have you tried it?

  @leilajax: I can see your Facebook Like Box on your sidebar just fine. Have you tried the tips here?
