    Hello guys,

    I am not a developer or IT specialist. I am just a simple guy with a WordPress page.

    I run into a big problem and searched for 2 days for a solution but couldn’t find one so I am pretty desperate.

    My problem is this:
    I receive a lot of likes on my Blog posts and I post the same article on Facebook. I tried to link somehow the WordPress likes to show also on my Facebook post but couldn’t succeed. Can anybody give me a hint or better, a solution to my problem?

    Thanks!

    What you’re talking about is combining the results of two entirely separate social networks, it’s not going to happen. ??

    Facebook’s Likes exist for a very specific reason to Facebook’s business, so they won’t pre-populate theirs with Likes from another platform.

    If you only want people to Like via Facebook, the only solution would be to remove the WordPress Like button.

    So why are there so many Facebook integration plug-ins who offer “facebook like buttons on every post” like “WordPress Facebook” or the “WP like button”. there are tonnes of such plug-ins?
    Another important detail, I can very easily add Likes that I receive on the WordPress page to my Facebook page. Why can I not receive Likes on a WordPress post that go directly to my Facebook post (same article)?

    You can add a Facebook Like button in addition to the WordPress Like button, but there isn’t a way to make the WordPress Likes add to the count of the Facebook Likes, they are two entirely separate systems.

    But can I make the Facebook like button (on WP) add to the count of the Facebook likes (on Fb)? And this regarding articles/pots.

    You might be able to, it depends on which plugin you’re using probably. Which plugin are you using for the Facebook Like button?

    I am using the” WordPress Facebook ” (Spider Facebook) plug in.
