Line 81 of social-plugins/widgets/like-box.php contains a break; statement that produces a fatal PHP error. As there is no loop, the break; statement is invalid.
I’ve sent a pull request on github with a fix, so let’s hope that the facebook developers accept it soon.
Oh and btw, this is not a fix of the actual problem, just a fix of the error-handling of the original problem:
The widget code tries to get a valid url from the Facebook API, but that produces a WP_FacebookApiException for some unknown reason (the rest of the plugin functions correctly with my app id/secret), which in turn triggers the invalid ‘break;’ statement.
hi
I have the same problem…
How can I sort this out?
It seems Facebook won’t even respond to fixes submitted to their repository, so I’ll leave this here.
To fix this issue, open up social-plugins/widgets/like-box.php (using FTP or the plugin editor in WP) and change line 84 from:
83 } catch ( WP_FacebookApiException $e ) {
84 break;
85 }
to:
83 } catch ( WP_FacebookApiException $e ) {
84 return 'https://www.facebook.com/' . $url_parts['path'];
85 }
Thank MartenKnbk! I fixed error.
