While you’re here, why not also try one of our other plugins – Facebook Comments and Twitter Feed, and Twitter Follow Button!
Installation:

- Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
- Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin
- Check all the setting in the Settings area
- Hit Update
The shortcode:
You can insert the comment box manually in any page or post or template by simply using the following shortcode:
[fblikesend]
To enter the shortcode directly into templates using PHP, enter
echo do_shortcode('[fblikesend]');
You can also use the options below to override the the settings above.
- url – leave blank for current URL
- like – on/off
- send – on/off
- verb – like/recommend
- faces – on/off
- layout – standard/button_count/box_count
- nested – on/off
- width – in pixels, default is 450
- font – arial, lucida grande, segoe ui, tahoma, trebuchet ms, verdana
An example using these options is
[fblikesend url="http://pleer.co.uk/wordpress/plugins/facebook-like-send-button/" like="on" send="on" verb="recommend" faces="no"]
If it doesn’t work at first…
- Check your settings to see that XFBML and Open Graph are enabled
- Make sure there are no conflicting plugins also running.
- If everything but the button appears, this means that you need to enable XFBML and/or Open Graph in the settings. If this does not work you need to make sure you have this code as your <HTML>:
<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">
