Description

Facebook Like Box Widget is a social plugin that enables Facebook Page owners to attract and gain Likes & Recommendation Comments from their own website. The Like Box enables users to: see how many users already like this page, and which of their friends like it too, read recent posts from the page and Like the page with one click, without needing to visit the page.

Updated:
With the release of Graph API v.2.3 the Like Box plugin is deprecated => Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-box-for-pages

On Facebook Like Box Widget 2.8, I have added Facebook Page Plugin that allows you to embed a simple feed of content from a Page into your websites.
You still can continue to use Facebook Like Box as Facebook mentioned if you continue to use Like Box plugin, it will automatically fall back to the Page Plugin by June 23rd 2015.

Its okay…

tintedshadows

This plugin works only if you want to spend time updating the code to the current wordpress version. I give it two stars only because its a nice simple plugin but for a normal user who doesn't know how to code it isn't for them. I think it works nice after the changes I made.

Excellent!

Rafael Lacerda

Works like a charm! No problem at all until this moment... Thank you for the great work!

Dont be deceived by number of downloads

smythec

Installed this because of number of installs. Lacks support and functionality is off and on. Will use something else.

This is a very easy to use widget and is very easy to understand. I liked this very much. I have used it in my website. Have a look over it http://mypixworld.net

the scheme color is not working

nencor

there's 2 option within the color scheme, dark and light and there's no differences between them. since i am using dark theme, and when i use both of dark and light scheme, they'll make no difference, how do i resolve this ?
