Hi there,
There is no fixed height set for the footer widgets – it depends on the widget content.
I believe the problem is that the widget itself is not displaying correctly. You can see that there is a lot more space for it to show:

Can you check with the plugin support first?
Let me know 🙂
Thanks for your reply. It’s a Facebook Plugin so you can probably guess where a request for support from Facebook is going to go. :-(. It’s generated from this page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin/ so perhaps you can suggest how to modify the generated code to achieve the desired result? I’m not a coder so I really wouldn’t know where to begin. Strange is that I’ve used it before on another page where I manually adjusted the height and width within the generated code to achieve the desired result. I tried that in this case but it didn’t work.
This is the code I used:
<iframe src=”https://www.facebook.com/plugins/page.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fconversationswithshannon%2F&tabs=timeline%2C%20messages%2C%20events&width=340&height=500&small_header=true&adapt_container_width=true&hide_cover=false&show_facepile=true&appId” width=”340″ height=”500″ style=”border:none;overflow:hidden” scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ allowTransparency=”true” allow=”encrypted-media”></iframe>.
In the widget box preview it looks fine but it still doesn’t look correct when displayed.

Hi there,
Can you try pasting your code into a Custom HTML widget? It looks like the height and width of the iframe were removed.
Let me know 🙂
Thanks but it’s not allowing me to save it (https://www.screencast.com/t/NlKqkqTcBjk). Am I doing something wrong?

Hmm, that’s strange. Does it say the error?
Another option would be to use a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-facebook-twitter-widget/
It does not say the error. The screenshot says all. I tried that plugin you suggested and it works perfectly. Thank you for that!

Awesome, you’re welcome 🙂
Is there an explanation for the issue? Just wondering for my brain. LOL.

The original issue was that the element didn’t have a defined width or height.
I’m not sure why the Custom HTML widget wouldn’t accept the code though – there must be something “wrong” with the HTML that the widget doesn’t like.
