 * Hello,
    Whenever I try to add a widget, input a fb id (for exapmle, 104071319663742,
   a flooring news page), the widget does not show up. A like button does though,
   I have not touched the settings options.

 * Hello!
 * So, have you performed the initial configuration with your App ID and Secret 
   Key?
 * If so, when you visit our plugins Status Page (under its options) what do you
   see?
 * If you haven’t performed the initial config, then that is why you don’t see a
   feed.
 * All the best,
    Richard

 * Hi,
    I wanted to have 3 feeds displayed on my page, so I thought all I need is
   to generate a shortcode for each and paste it into a text box. But it looks like
   it’s good for one feed only

 * Hello!
 * Well, it will certainly work with more than one feed on one page – can you let
   me know what shortcodes you are using?
 * As an alternative, can you try using our Widget instead of the shortcode inside
   a Text Widget?
 * Best,
    Richard

 * I think I have almost the same problem. When I put the shortcode into the textwidget,
   it shows literaly the shortcode on the page.
 * I can see the widget “IK Facebook Like Button”. But I don’t see another.

 * Hey Veritas14 –
 * WordPress doesn’t render shortcodes inside Text Widgets, by default.
 * We do have a Widget called the IK Facebook Feed – maybe look again?
 * You can render shortcodes inside text widgets following the instructions here:
