  Hello,

  I have added the Facebook Link widget, and it does link up to my Facebook page properly. However, an error message is displayed with the widget that indicates that it is not a valid Facebook URL. But, it is, and it works.

  Thank you,
  Julie

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

  I believe the problem is that the Facebook widget is designed to link to a Facebook ‘page’ (like for a business) but you have it linked to your personal ‘profile’. The link still works, but it won’t show the posts unless it is linked to a page.
