Facebook Like & Send Button WordPress Plugin
Insert the Facebook Like and/or Send button to any post, page or template with this simple plugin. Also lets you add them via shortcode anywhere in your site!
While you’re here, why not also try one of our other plugins – Facebook Comments and Twitter Feed, and Twitter Follow Button!
Installation:
- Download the plugin direct from the Plugin Page at WordPress.
- 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">
The Result:
Once the plugin is installed and set up, your button will look like this:
Say Something...
