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.

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
Did you ever figure this out? I also need the Like button to show up on the category pages. 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?
educate me.
Hi there,
Thanks so much for this plugin. It works great on my site http://www.lovemysalad.com.au
Will v0.3 allow my sites to validate by putting scrolling, frameborder and allowtransparency in CSS on the class=”wordpress_facebook_like?”
I’ve been using this plugin for about a month, latest version of WP, Buddypress, etc., and just today, without making any changes to the site, I noticed that it doesn’t work if it’s set to the standard display mode without user images. If I turn on user images, it works just fine. If I change it button mode, it works fine, it just quit working on standard display mode without faces. Not sure what is up? Ideas? I went ahead and changed it to button mode for now so it will work. Thanks, rg.

some really nice and useful info on this site, likewise I think the design and style contains superb features.
Great plugin Thank YOU! I’ve set the plugin so that it appears at the bottom of my blog posts. But, it’s creating a large space both on the both and if I change the position to the top. Is there a fix for this? Thanks!
Enjoyable read. I wish I could make myself write such good posts onto my own blog. It is not easy.
Hi. The plugin seems to work, but it doesn’t appear in “settings” or “plugins” and doesn’t show when I list plugins via FTP. So I’m unable to adjust anything or uninstall. Any ideas?
Thanks.
I got what you mean , regards for posting .
Hello, the plugin is no longer working…just wanted to let you know. An error message is given when trying to Like/Recommend a blog post on a Wordpress site using the plugin. Any chance you could look into this?
[...] a working one. In my attempts to add a Facebook stream i have installed a plugin allowing users of Facebook to like blogs on my page. As i continue i will integrate Facebook into my blog further. admin [...]
I noticed that now that FB has added the “log in as page” feature that when you are logged in as page the like button out side of FB doesn’t show up. Is that just me?
Hi!
I loved this plugin but now it stopped working a few days ago. Any chance for a new version?
Greetings from Germany,
Frank
I installed the like plugin which worked very well. The problem is when I moved to a new host I lost all of my likes. Any way to move them with me?
I am really grateful that I read it. It is very important issue, which illustrates a lot. You have to read it.
Im commenting from another comment similar to my issue. I noticed too when I click the like button, the message gets posted to my facebook page but it randomly chooses an image on my blog and posts it with the title message on facebook. Could you maybe have in your next version, a url path in the setup so we can always choose which image gets posted to the facebook post even though it may be the same image over and over? I post videos on my blog so I understand it possibly cannot screen capture the video image to post.
Thanks!
John
Really helpful thank you!
The Like button appears when I first go to the site. But it disappears the moment I select a Category of blogs to look at… I want it on each post all the time, no matter how people navigate to get there. What do I do?

i perceive that is not exactly on topic, but i have a blog using the blogengine operating system as well and i’m having issues with my comments displaying. is there a establishing i am forgetting? perhaps you could assist me out? give thanks to you.

Effective wordpress blog!
That is very interesting, You are an excessively professional blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look ahead to seeking more of your magnificent post. Also, I have shared your site in my social networks
Same problem like Greg Denny – after i click “Like”, under the articles, the next message shown is ” like this. Leave a comment”. But after some minutes, “leave a comment” has disapear
The problem is for the newbies that can be confused where to comment – to the comment area of wordpress or to the comment area created by this plugin! I have not installed any other plugin in order to let the people comment with the Facebook profile.
So, if you can, make an option in the control panel to let the users choose if they want to enable/disable the sugestion of Facebook comments.
In 0.3 will be possible to increase the bottom margin of this plugin? On my blog is very close to the next plugin!
Regards,
