I want a lik button on WP site but it does not work when I put the code from FB into a text widget!
-
I have connected to my FB page and it says Face book like (on the sidebar) but no button is showing even when I select dark or white. It just says ‘Like face book’ and takes you to my FB log in page! I want a like button that’s all help please
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Have you seen our Facebook integration information here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/
Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.

NO I’ve tried adding it as a badge from the widgets and it does not show even when I make it dark. I want a LIKE button I already have a face book feed, so my posts go to my FB page. I can’t get a like button. I even pasted in the code from FB into a text widget and it does not work!

If you are looking for a sidebar like box, you can use these instructions:

I am not seeing any text widget active currently. Could you please set it up again and let me take a look?
-
I’ve tried this but no luck and no image showing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/#facebook-like-box no luck!
Ive put the widget on the sidebar again for you see its NOT showing. Pls let me know why? What shall I do?

The issue appears to be that you do not have a Facebook page URL entered into the URL field. Here’s a screenshot:
You seem to have a facebook email address entered there. Replace that with the URL of your FB page and let me know if that fixes things.

Nope!! its not working or showing whatever FB address I put in including this one:
https://www.facebook.com/Lifeizcrazydotcom
HELP. I think there is a fault with the widget.

That’s my user name as far as I know? https://www.facebook.com/Lifeizcrazydotcom The follow button code does not work on WP either see below or maybe this will work in the widget URL
https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=followers
this is a group address I made
https://www.facebook.com/groups/307453576127998/
I really don’t know what to put in on the widget!!?? Help please
FB code:
<iframe src=”//www.facebook.com/plugins/follow?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FLifeizcrazydotcom&layout=standard&show_faces=true&colorscheme=light&width=450&height=80″ scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ style=”border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;” allowTransparency=”true”></iframe> -
Nothing works !! see above . Is the widget faulty or the theme does not work?
Not these:
https://www.facebook.com/Lifeizcrazydotcom
https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=followers
https://www.facebook.com/groups/307453576127998/;-( can you look at my widget and fix it?

If you are trying to set up the widget using a personal Facebook profile, it will not work. It will only work with a public facebook “page”.
This Facebook support page may help explain the difference.

Sorry but I don’t understand what you are saying. I set up a FB page. That is NOT private and i set up a group (see links above). Can you tell me in simple terms, why the like button won’t work or must I call WP for help? Is it a WP conflict of language? My FB is PUBLIC

The Facebook widget will only work with a facebook “page” it will not work with a Facebook “profile”.
https://www.facebook.com/Lifeizcrazydotcom is a Facebook profile, not a Facebook “page”. I can tell this because I am shown the option to “add friend” when I view it. When you view a “page” you are shown the option to “like” the page. Here is the page for Elvis (showing the like instead of “add friend”) as an example:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/307453576127998/ is a Facebook discussion group.
Here is a good explanition of the differences between a Facebook page and a profile:

Here is where you would go on Facebook to create a “page”:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/create/
Take a look through those pages and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.
