Here’s some fantastic news for WordPress users: inspired by yesterday’s announcement at F8 about the Open Graph, we are introducing a new plugin that you can use for your WordPress site!
You can easily add the Facebook like widget to your blog with this download: wordpress-facebook-like-0.2
Please feel free to send us your feedback! How exciting!

Oops – I found it! LOL m
How do you adjust the font color? It is a bit dark for my color scheme and can’t figure it out!
Thanx in advance!
Check out http://likebot.com if you want a like-button without the Facebook-connections.
WP plugin here:

Is there a way to control which pages display the like button?
Great plugin guys! I am pretty impressed when I go to a website and see pictures of my friends that “liked” a site, I am so much more likely to use the like button.
I have experienced one problem though, I used the plugin on my site and it is not always using the title of my post in facebook. For instance when I liked this article, http://www.xrez.com/blog/siggraph-2010-talk/ is shows up as “Greg likes xRez Studio on xRez Studio.” instead of using the name of the article “Siggraph 2010 Presentation: DIY Time-Lapse Motion-Control Systems”. Any ideas?
Hi Greg,
Try updating your Wordpress template so it includes the page name in the tag. Unfortunately Facebook has their own code that grabs the page title and it uses the html tags to get it.
Hello,
I have some problems with the ilike button. It appears in every page. Pages like about and contact us and I don’t want them there.
Does anyone know how to remove the ilike button only from the about page and the contact us page.
Thank you,
Andrei
Hi
I want the LIKE button to show in Categories as well. how can i do that?
plus is there a way to edit the setting of Permalinks?
thanks
I have added the plugin (which is fab) but due to the spacing of my blog not being standard it appears too far to the left. Is there a way of shifting the position of the Like towards the right?
To take a look of what I mean visit http://www.papture.com/blog
Thanks,
We have submitted an updated version of the plugin version 0.3. Once wordpress.org approves it into their repository, each iframe will have a class=”wordpress_facebook_like” so you may use css to add a margin to the left of the iframe.
iframe.wordpress_facebook_like {
margin-left: 30px;
}
If there are any other issues please let use know and if you are happy with the plugin, don’t forget to give us a rating at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-facebook-like/
Thank you for the easy “Like” button plug in!!
I tried another that required a lengthy, manual install…yours couldn’t be easier and cleaner.
Thanks for the feedback, Ed!

I’m having an issue that I can’t figure out – when someone clicks ‘Like’, and then also leaves a ‘Comment’ – it posts to their facebook page showing only a Facebook Button as the Image beside their posting… so 2 questions:
1) How do I assign the correct page image to the plugin?
and/or
2) Can I deactivate the ability to leave a ‘Comment’ all together?
Thank you.

Hi Greg,
1. Unfortunately Facebook has their own algorithm that picks an image on the page it is not currently selected by the plugin.
2. Disabling comments is a wordpress feature. In the dashboard under options -> discussion there is a checkbox to allow people to post comments…
Hope this helps!
When someone ‘likes’ one of my blog posts, it posts it to Facebook as intended, but it grabs my Yahoo IM online (or off line status) icon as the snapshot of my blog. It does that for every blog entry.
Any idea how to keep it from grabbing the Yahoo IM widget icon as the snapshot?
