Maybe I’m just not seeing it, but I can’t find a way to disable the plugin on specific pages. The plugin description (and the readme.txt) both say one can “Disable the button in specific pages and posts” but all I’m seeing are ways to disable it for all pages and/or posts, and a way to add a tag to specific pages or posts to enable the plugin manually.
Since I have over 85 different pages and only about 6 or so where I don’t want the FB like button I’m really hoping there’s a way to either exclude the 6 pages by page ID or something similar, or a way to add a switch to the tag to turn off the FB buttons (and then add the “switched” tag to the pages I want to exclude).
Thanks for any help. The plugin is very nice, does exactly what I was looking for, so I’m really hoping that there’s a way to turn off the plugin on specific pages.
]]>HI there,
first of all, concerning the problems I already have contacted the developer last week, but I got no response yet. Thats bad, as I am “living” now with the bugs and don’t want to install another tool (I would lose my likes). Probably someone can help me here:
I have put all the settings for the options I have desired, BUT:
– faces are not shown (sometimes it shows one face), How can I set that all like-faces are shown?
– like and share button are one beside the other, so when I collect likes, it will count shares. Is it possible to install it one below the other?
– I don’t want the buttons to be shown on each page, only on posts or pics in the gallery (I have put the settings, but either it appears everywhere or nowhere at all).
THX for support!

I will add everything missing from the newest version of the Facebook API, and I will of course address outstanding issue that have been reported within the coming weeks.
Thank you.

Hi. Can I just have the like button without the “be the first of your friends….”?
]]>the plugin effectively creates the space for the button. I can see the post delyed from the title, but the button doesn’t appear…
]]>Can anybody tell me how to call the wpfblike() function and echo the output?
<?php if(function_exists(“wpfblike”)) echo wpfblike(); ?>
only gives me a blank space…
Cheers!
I have the ” faces” box unchecked but they still appear. Please help.

]]>WP Facebook like has terrible support. I’ve been using it a while and it is glitchy to say the least. Problems that have been brought numerous times on the developer’s site but remained unsolved or even unaddressed:
(1) the like button randomly chooses and attaches in Facebook a thumbnail from the website that is NOT related to the post being liked
(2) the like button does not work consistently. sometimes one clicks on the like button and instead of registering it immediately goes back to unlike
The only reason I’ve persevered is that I don’t want to lose all the likes I have on past posts by adopting a new plugin… and I hold on to the hope that Johnny Chada will actually support his plug in!
Hi
from last night when I click on Like buttun it counts me and back immediately. is it related to Facebook?
also got this error when trying to use send buttun:

WP Facebook Like 1.5.1
Using Firebug’s Net Console I decided to test load speeds for WP Facebook Like button for iframe vs. xfbml (Disclaimer: I am not a pro at testing websites.)
This was complicated by the fact that even having <?php echo wpfblike('layout=button_count&fbsend=true'); ?> in the functions.php and Show send button: Yes in the settings — unless it is set to xfbml the send button won’t show.
xfbml, Show send button: Yes
0 Blocking
0 904ms Waiting
+904ms 736ms Receiving
which means that to load it took in total 1640milliseconds or 1.64seconds
iframe, Show send button: Yes (send button doesn’t display)
0 1ms Blocking
+1ms 509ms Waiting
+510ms 1.05s Receiving
which means that even though the send button didn’t display it took in total 1.56seconds to load
So from my tests iframe loads faster but it doesn’t show the send button so if you want the send button, you have to use xfbml which is slower.
And another test to see the speed without the send button
iframe, Show send button: no
0 1ms Blocking
+1ms 560ms Waiting
+561ms 811ms Receiving
which means that the load time was 1372miliseconds or 1.372seconds
For myself, I’ve decided not to have the send button.
]]>This plugin is promising, but it needs a lot more testing and teaking!
When I select the xfbml method, the Like button does not appear in IE, but it appears in Firefox. If I select the iframe method, the button appears in both IE and FF, but only on the front page. Yes, I’ve checked, I’ve set both “show on pages” and “show on posts” settings to Yes, yet there is no such a button on the pages and posts. The source code shows that the div wpfblike is there, but it remains blank when viewing the page. Please fix these bugs! For now, I’m off to search for another plugin to add the like button.
I installed this plug-in because I thought it would allow me to manually choose which posts and pages I attached the ‘Like’ to (unlike Easy Facebook Like Button). I went through settings but still nothing shows up, anywhere. Maybe this plug-in doesn’t work on my version of WP??
]]>“To manually include the Like button in a post or page, set the plugin to disabled in the settings and include the [ wpfblike ] tag within the post.”
Tried to do that but , there’s a lot of settings, which should I disable? If I disable the plugin as you suggest I get nothing but shortcode on the page. Please clarify. Facebook like buttons shouldn’t be complicated.
]]>Version 1.4.0
In the xfbml javascript embedding mode the function get_footer() is added to loop_start. This puts <div id='fb-root'></div> in the <head> section. Also JavaScript needs to be in the tag <script type='text/javascript'> to be valid.
I ended up changing line 82 from:
add_action('loop_start', array(&$this, 'get_footer'));
to
add_filter( 'wp_footer', array( &$this, 'get_footer' ) );
The <fb:like> is also invalid but this isn’t as big a problem.
Hi joch, a user of my plugin Meteor Slides reported to me that there was a conflict with your plugin WP Facebook Like.
I tested out the two plugins together, and the problem is that the slideshow from my plugin is a loop of slides posts. When your plugin is activated, it injects its script into both the main page or post loop and into the extra slideshow loop.
Have you run into this issue with other plugins, or themes that use more than one loop on a page?
