Sorry, I wrote it, but didn’t give the URL.

I’ve looked at the FB page and it generates code based on a choice of HTML5, XFBML, IFRAME or URL. You’ve replicated HTML/CSS code above which looks like it will style your Opening Hours, not reproduce the FB page.
Trying to replace the 3rd FP section will require some advanced php coding skills – quite a challenge!
How about using a Footer Widget?

Dave, I hear what you’re saying about advanced skills and that is not me. My original intent was to put the FB lite box in the text Widget footer anyway.
This is the code I’m supposed to place right after the body tag. Where do I find that/put it?
‘<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/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.0”;
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));</script>’
This is what I put in the text widget:
‘<div class=”fb-like-box” data-href=”https://www.facebook.com/dentzorchardsandberryfarm” data-colorscheme=”light” data-show-faces=”false” data-header=”false” data-stream=”true” data-show-border=”false”></div>’
Tada, look what I just found in the snippets

Dave, I know we’re close and I can sense that you’ve figured this out. I’ve read through the whole post and went to the areas you’ve suggested, but I’m not clear on where to find the functions.php and how to turn on the Tooltip option in the Customizr panel? I have a Child theme. If I go to Editor, I can see it, but then what? I figured out the code the same way they suggeted for the Like Button (as opposed to the Like Box), but how to I place it in?
I’m sorry, I’m not very good at this, but I’m trying. Can you walk me through this?
OK, this snippet explains Child Themes, and where you’ll find functions.php. (Very easy).
Tooltips are there by default and not customizable. Here’s a snippet that explains how to change the words in a tooltip. (Did I understand the right question?)
Hi @cathy-dentz,
I thought it was an interesting development so I decided to propose it as a snippet.
Just paste it in the functions.php file of your theme/child theme and it will do what you need.
It should not be very technical to implement, but if you are not very familiar with php, you might need someone to do it for you.
Thanks for posting this interesting topic and enjoy the theme!

Nikeo, I was supper excited this morning to see your snippet. Thank you so much. After spending all day trying to figure out how to get my functions.php working (I should have used your plugin and it would have been there for me, but I had to go and create my own child theme style sheet before I knew about yours), I still have two problems.
1. I have to figure out how to get the Like Box into the feature area 3. It shows up in my widget area where I pasted the Facebook code yesterday (I do know how to delete that later 😉 Where do I paste the second code that Facebook generates for me to have the box show up where the third feature page is supposed to be?
The other problem is the like button is in French instead of English? I’m in Canada, but my audience is English speaking.
Thanks in advance for your help. Not only is your theme really great, but the support you and your team provide is outstanding. I couldn’t get up and running without it. For someone new to WordPress like me, even learning how to use the forum is a challenge.
Hi Cathy,
1) the snippet is already coded to replace your featured pages #3, so you shouldn’t have any problem about this?
2) about the language issue, did you already check this page : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guides/internationalization/ ?
You are close! Cheers

I’m still struggling with getting the Facebook Like Box to display. I thought it was because I didn’t have the Facebook Application ID. I have this now, but it didn’t make a difference. Where do I paste the code that is generated by the Facebook link?
The language issue was an easy fix. Thank you.
Hi @cathy-denz, the snippet explains you where to paste all Facebook generated code.
This has to be included in your functions.php

Hi Nikeo:
I copied the header.php into my child theme and placed the first code generated by Facebook after the body tag.
Where do I put the second part of the code generated by Facebook? I tried putting it into my functions.php and I get an internal server error. I tried putting it into a page called Facebook, but the code shows up–not the box. What does this instruction mean? //THEN ALTER THE DEFAULT FEATURED PAGE RENDERING FUNCTION WITH YOUR GENERATED FACEBOOK LIKE BOX CONTENT Where do I find the “rendering function”?
I know this should just work, but it isn’t. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
Don’t copy the header.php. Remove it.
As the snippet explains: “Where to copy/paste this code? => in your functions.php file.”
This should be a functions.php file in your child theme. Read this article on how to customize Customizr and come back if it’s still not clear what to do.

Hi:
I removed the header.php. I had read the page you recommend a while ago already. I have a child theme. I copied the snippet onto the functions.php page, but it doesn’t work. I tried putting the Facebook text into the Custom CSS. I tried putting it on the functions.php page and get internal server error. I don’t know why this isn’t working. Could my functions.php page be set up wrong? I had someone from my host add it for me after the fact.
My site is http://www.dentzfarm.com/ I know this should work, but I can’t figure out why it’s not. All the text from the snippet is on my functions.php page. If I add the Facebook gnerated code into the snippet somewhere is there a specific location where it should go?
