You need to ask on the sub-forum for any plugin you have questions about. Try the official Facebook plugin – just updated yesterday or JetPack.
Hi WPyogi,
Just to clarify, are you telling me to repost this question or future questions in a different forum other than trouble shooting. If so what forum do you suggest.
Also, when I look athte main Facebook plugin 9above) it seemed to be geared towards developers. I’m just an end-user looking for a plug in to link my WordPress page to Facebook using a widget that will allow people on my WordPress page to see a thumbnail of my Facebook page and get to that Facebook page with a click.
Where can I learn more about what Jetpack is, what the functions are and how it works. I see I have it installed, but it isn’t clear what it does, especially with relationship to linking with Facebook.
Thank you.

Yes. You need to post your questions in the sub-forums of the facebook plugins(s) you have tried or are using. we cannot help on a general forum with issues relating to specific, unknown, facebook plugins.

If you have questions or problems with plugins, you need to ask those of the plugin developer – on the plugin’s dedicated forum – each plugin has it’s own sub-forum – you can get there via the plugin’s page here:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/
Find the one you are using, then on that plugin’s page, click on the support tab and scroll down to post on that sub-forum.
The FB plugin is used by MANY regular users who are not developers. Click on the link I posted to get more info about JetPack.

Thank you both.
So, from what you are saying, specific plugins aside, in general, if I install a plug in and it doesn’t show up as a widget that can be delployed in the site, then there is a problem and I shoudl either go to that plugin’s support page or try a new plugin?
If I go to the plugins dedicated forum, what questions about plugins can I ask in the Wordpres Troubleshooting Forums? What is acceptable?
The normal sequence of events is that installed and activated plug ins show up in appearnace – widgets?
Thank you.

Not as such, no but it could be that the plugin concerned simply does not offer a widget option. The plugin’s developer would be the best person to ask about this via the plugin’s dedicated sub-forum.
What is acceptable?
Ideally, questions that do not relate to specific plugins.

No. That is very plugin specific.
