Facebook Like Box is history!

With the release of Graph API v2.3, the Like Box plugin is deprecated and will stop working on June 23rd 2015. Use the new Page Plugin instead. The Page Plugin allows you to embed a simple feed of content from a Page into your websites.

This information you will find on facebook developers page.

If you have a website, facebook like box was a very easy way to connect it with your Facebook page. You could set its width and height, and adjust it according to the desired place on your website. And it looked very effectively, with a small thumbnails of your page fans.

But this little plugin goeas to history!

What now?


There is a new plugin, called Page plugin. It works almost the same way. It consists of facebook cover photo, and little thumbnails from your page fans.
The Page Plugin lets you easily embed and promote any Facebook Page on your website. Just like on Facebook, your visitors can like and share the Page without having to leave your site.

Facebook Page plugin

How to embed?

Go to the facebook developer page and enter your facebook page url, set the width and height for the box, and check boxes if you want to hide cover photo, faces of your fans or to show page posts.
Then click on the get code button.

If you are using wordpress platform, from admin panel go to appearance/editor, and find header php in the left menu. Click on it and find the end of this file. At the end paste the first code you get on the facebook developers page.
The second code paste wherever you want the box to show. It is common to stand in the sidebar. From the admin panel go to appearance/widget, find text box and swipe it into the sidebar box. Paste here the second code.
