  Hi!

  What Facebook URL are you trying to link it to? Paste it in this thread and I’d be happy to help you further.

  I noticed this post and I have the same problem. I copied the URL from the FB webpage: https://www.facebook.com/mark.schannon

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  Hi @mschannon,

  In order for the Facebook widget to work, you need to link it to a Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/help/282489752085908 ) and not a Facebook personal profile. Some examples of a Facebook page are: https://www.facebook.com/apple/
  https://www.facebook.com/BonJovi/

  Perhaps you can create a public Facebook page around your interests or blog and then link it in the WordPress Facebook widget.

  Hope this helps!
