Support

There are a few issues that the plugin has, which mainly has to do with theme limitations. If the plugin doesn’t appear, you may have to check that all the Facebook elements are loaded into the theme:

Facebook and Open Graph Protocol Namespace

The following should be inserted to replace the current <html> tag:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US" xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

Facebook App ID Meta

The following should be inserted within <head> tag, changing YOUR_APP_ID to your App ID:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="YOUR_APP_ID"/>

Facebook Javascript SDK:

In the plugin, this is inserted just before </body>. Technically, it is best to insert this directly after <body>, changing YOUR_APP_ID to your App ID:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=YOUR_APP_ID";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>ent.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
</script>

Also…

  • If the plugin is working in all browsers except for Internet Explorer, check the above. There is also a solved support thread within WordPress support
  • Make sure there are no conflicting plugins also running. We have had reports that other Facebook related plugins can cause issues
  • If you have updated from 1.0 or 1.1 to 1.2, check the Number of comments in your settings. If it is set to “on” change it to a number again
