We’ve had the “Facebook members” plugin running successfully for two and a half months however in the last two days we have started to see “Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.” appear in a box on the site.
I think there must have been an update or something that caused the issue.

@mvstudio1: If you installed a plugin, and had been using it for 2 months, you most likely have a self-hosted WordPress blog and are in the wrong forum. Please ask your question at http://wordpress.org/support

The Facebook Like widget works OK on my blog (no ID errors or repeated faces) but have a visual hiccup in that the only the top bit of the face thumbs in the third row are showing.

Hi,
Lots of problems with this widget!!
I read all the thread and still don´t understand.
I get the famous:
Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.For: http://www.facebook.com/groups/237077342980658/
It doesn´t work for groups?
-
The widget is for fan pages. Would you like to try RSS Graffiti? It works for groups.

what is up with this widget?

@celluvibez you are right thst many don’t know their facebook id, it took me a while to figure this out, lol.
Another stumbling block I had was not realizing that I did not give permissions for WordPress to interact with Facebook. My blog is really fresh so I did not have a FB page set up for it yet, just did so today actually. The widget was not working properly for me and just kept redirecting to Facebook homepage. When I gave permission for the Publicize (http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize) to interact with Facebook the widget worked perfectly. Maybe this will help if anyone else has the issue.

Hi. I have just added the facebook like widget to our blog and it appears as a long box down the full length of the blog posts. Is there anyway to adjust the appearance?
Many thanks, Ruth -

The Facebook like box widget is ONLY for posting to fan pages and group pages. It is working correctly.
As you note Publicize is only for posting to Facebook profile pages and that’s stated on the first page of this thread, and has been repeated more than once in this thread. :)

You can post a Facebook badge in your sidebar. It links to your Facebook profile page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-badge/You can also enable sharing buttons on your posts, pages and index pages for visitors to use. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ Also note you can have both Facebook like & share buttons on your posts. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/its-possible-facebook-share-and-like-buttonsat-the-same-time?replies=90
And you can set up Publicize and publish to your Facebook profile page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

Is there any way I can customize the color scheme of the like box. The choice between black and white doesn’t work aesthetically on my blog!
