    I’m not sure what you mean by Recommendation bar. Here is what I see at the bottom of your site at the moment:

    Are you referring to something like this?

    See the at the bottom right of the screen..that little red box? (It’s showing that because you’re logged into a facebook page.) Log into your personal account and you’ll see what I mean.

    Thanks for the reply!

    I’m actually logged in with my personal account at the moment. An app ID parameter appears to be missing from the element:

    And according to the iFrame URL, that recommendation bar is indeed the Facebook plugin I was referring to earlier. We don’t plan on adding this functionality to Jetpack in the future, but you should be able to add it to your sidebar without using any plugin. Simply generate the plugin code using the generator on this page, and paste the code in a new Text widget in Appearance > Widgets in your dashboard.

    Strange. It’s been working. Let me figure out what’s up.

    And what that does is give a pop up with notifications of related stories to help people dig deeper in. If it’s in the sidebar it’s not the same…are you sure its the same thing?

    The recommendation box now works for me too, I assume you’ve fixed the issue.

    And I see I was wrong. The generator you’re looking for is here:
    https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/recommendations-bar

    I had confused the Recommendation box and the recommendation bar, it seems.

    Nope. I didn’t do anything. I’ve actually never seen that error before. It was strange that you getting it.

    And yes, the recommendations bar is what I’m talking about. That’s the only reason I’m using the Facebook plugin. I could get rid of it if you guys could include it.

    I could get rid of it if you guys could include it.

    You could copy the recommendation bar code in a text widget, as I mentioned earlier. I just gave it a try, it works well:

    Sweet! So even though it’s a text widget would it still appear at the bottom right like that? (and not just in the sidebar widget area?)

    Thanks for your help by the way! Really appreciate it.
