Title: [Plugin: FaceBook Like Button Plugin for WordPress] Manual insert to theme Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: FaceBook Like Button Plugin for WordPress] Manual insert to theme * [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffreeeeey/) * (@jeffreeeeey) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/) * Is it possible to turn off auto-insert, and if so- what code do I need to manually add to my theme where I’d like the button positioned? * I’ve noticed there’s quite a few versions of this ‘FB like button’ by various authors, but this one seems a little better as it gives more options for CSS styling.. however the custom positioning is a must for me. * Help appreciated. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fblikebutton/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fblikebutton/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/page/2/?output_format=md) * [healyourchurchwebsite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/healyourchurchwebsite/) * (@healyourchurchwebsite) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478891) * Hi jeffreeeeey, * What is it they say about great minds? * I’ve already been toying with the idea of adding a ‘content tag’ feature that would allow individuals to place the like button anywhere they want in a post and/or page. * It’s not that hard, just adds an additional learning curve and complexity for users. * That said, sounds like we’re on the same page. I appreciate the feedback as it helps me determine on how to rank the various feature ideas under consideration. * Thanks for pitching in! * Dean * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffreeeeey/) * (@jeffreeeeey) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478892) * Yep, they think alike 🙂 * Here’s the site I want to use it on: [http://bit.ly/d8FoWq](http://bit.ly/d8FoWq) * If you look how it is at the moment, you’ll see that it’s out of place. * All I want (Ideally) is a text link saying ‘like’ (Just like on facebook) right next to ‘comment’ (On the same line). * I’ve tried various different plugins, including the ever-so confusing GD star rating, but no matter what, I just cannot get it to look/ work how I need it to. * With the ability to turn off auto-insert, it will (I hope) at least allow me to position it correctly 🙂 * Thanks, and I’ll look forward to future updates * [healyourchurchwebsite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/healyourchurchwebsite/) * (@healyourchurchwebsite) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478895) * Hi jeffreeeeey, * I think I create a context tag no problemo, but keep in mind that the like button is delivered via an iFrame from FB … * … meaning, while I like your idea for a “like” hyperlink, the rendering comes by way of FB directly, so I’m not sure I’d be able to control that aspect of the feature. * Dean * [monochromenight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monochromenight/) * (@monochromenight) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478902) * `ID)) ?>` * Works for me. * [SidianMSJones](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sidianmsjones/) * (@sidianmsjones) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478957) * I’m really wanting to do this as well, although I don’t want to turn off the auto versions of it. * MonochromeNight, thank you I’ll try this right now. * [SidianMSJones](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sidianmsjones/) * (@sidianmsjones) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478958) * Hey this is doing exactly what I need! Awesome. I need a little help getting the styling right though. * Here is my link: [http://www.mymythos.org/category/1-mythos-magazine/](http://www.mymythos.org/category/1-mythos-magazine/) * I see that Monochrome’s code is echoing the FBlike plugin, so it’s probably taking the styling from there, but is there some way I can give this echo its own style? Basically I just need to to only be the like button, no friend’s names by it, no faces….unless I can get them to stay within the black container they are currently going out of. * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffreeeeey/) * (@jeffreeeeey) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478971) * OK Thanks for the reply healyourchurchwebsite..

I would very much like the ability to put the like button in a specific location. Thanks! * [edited to add – Monochromenight, I tried your solution and it didn’t work at first, until I realized I needed to edit the size of the widget in the admin area – now it’s perfect. Thank you!] * [Lisa Clarke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polkadotcreations/) * (@polkadotcreations) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478973) * SidianMSJones, have you tried editing the widget size in the admin settings? I believe if you make the size of the widget correspond to the size of the like button itself, all of the rest of the information won’t be visible. * [zestylemon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zestylemon/) * (@zestylemon) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1478996) * `ID)) ?>` Works for me as well. Please can you look at adding this piece of info to the admin screen of the plugin – easy for me & others to find should we need this info again in the future. * Thanks for a great plugin! * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffreeeeey/) * (@jeffreeeeey) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1479006) * Thanks guys, sorry it’s been a while, I have been busy with other things of late. * OK, So I now know that it’s not possible to just have a ‘like’ hyperlink without the facebook styling- OK, I can live with that. * So, trying to add the button into the correct position in my template now… I have tried the code given below: * `ID)) ?>` * …to my page.php template, right after the “comment” section, although it doesn’t seem to be working properly for some reason. * Only way I can get the like button to work is by auto-insert via the settings page for the plugin. However, the ‘like’ button likes the site index (homepage), meaning the same people, _& number of people_ have liked every single post on the site. * Any ideas what the problem may be? * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffreeeeey/) * (@jeffreeeeey) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1479007) * Sorry, I meant “single.php”, not “page.php”- I only want it to show on posts. 🙂 * Thread Starter [Tom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffreeeeey/) * (@jeffreeeeey) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1479009) * Sorry to have to bump this thread, but is anyone able to help before I try a different ‘like’ plugin? * [DanMichel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danmichel/) * (@danmichel) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1479020) * same. i need if for singlepost.php and i want it to be a like button count * [David](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djdevy/) * (@djdevy) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress-manual-insert-to-theme/#post-1479022) * ok..I’m not sure if this is what are you looking for, but it worked for me. It adds a like button in each post separately. I just inserted this in my single. php: * `` * I hope it helps.
