Could you describe a bit closer what you’re doing. Also, could you post the URL to your blog? * Thread Starter [tkaufman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tkaufman/) * (@tkaufman) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471230) * Hi * I”m trying to place a facepile widget in the footer area of my site, [http://www.thomaskaufman.com/author](http://www.thomaskaufman.com/author) * Part of wordpress connect is a facepile widget, and that’s what I’m putting in that footer area. The heading shows “Facepile,” but that’s it. No faces. * thanks * Plugin Author [scibuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scibuff/) * (@scibuff) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471246) * The [Facepile Facebook](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/facepile/) plugin displays only Facebook User’s who have liked your page – [http://thomaskaufman.com/author/](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/) * But this number is currently [zero](https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select%20%20like_count,%20total_count,%20share_count,%20click_count%20from%20link_stat%20where%20url=%22http://thomaskaufman.com/author/%22) * For people to like your page you need to add a like button (somewhere) with your page’s url. This is something that you can either ask the developer of your theme to do, or you can do it yourself with some knowledge of PHP/Wordpress. The WordPress Connect plugin provides API and documentation on how to add a custom like button [here](http://wp-connect.tomasvorobjov.com/api/wp_connect_like_button/) and [here](http://wp-connect.tomasvorobjov.com/api/wp_connect_like_button_default/) * Thread Starter [tkaufman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tkaufman/) * (@tkaufman) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471248) * I’ve done,and my daughter volunteered to like my page, but nothing shows up in the facepile area in the footer. * It does look like something is happening there…there’s some animation, vertical lines moving… * Thread Starter [tkaufman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tkaufman/) * (@tkaufman) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471250) * So anyway, it does look like something is happening in that area, but no faces coming up, even though my daughter used FB to like my page. * Perhaps I’m posting the wrong bit of code? * Could some please help me? * thanks * Plugin Author [scibuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scibuff/) * (@scibuff) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471251) * As you can see [ here](https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select%20%20like_count,%20total_count,%20share_count,%20click_count%20from%20link_stat%20where%20url=%22http://thomaskaufman.com/author/%22) the number of likes for the page “[http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”); is still zero. Could you please put the like button (with the url “[http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”);) and the facepile widgets (make sure the url is also “[http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”);– watch for the trailing slashes) back to your blog; once there I’ll have a look at the generated (x)html. * Thread Starter [tkaufman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tkaufman/) * (@tkaufman) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471259) * Thanks for your note. * 1. The like button already appears on every page of my site, including the blog page. Can you see it? * 2. I don’t know where or how to check this: “Could you please put the like button( with the url “[http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”);) and the facepile widgets (make sure the url is also “[http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”);– watch for the trailing slashes)” * 3. I have three choices of code, but don’t know which (HTML5 XFBML IFRAME) to use. * 4. On the Facebook Developers page I ran the debugger and got this error: Redirect Path original: [http://thomaskaufman.com/author](http://thomaskaufman.com/author) 301: [http://thomaskaufman.com/author/](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/) og: url: [http://thomaskaufman.com/author](http://thomaskaufman.com/author) Final URL is in bold (this is the URL we tried to extract metadata from).

You need a like button with the url to “[http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”);, all the like buttons you have link to the posts, e.g. [http://thomaskaufman.com/author/jazz-and-the-art-of-the-detective-novel/](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/jazz-and-the-art-of-the-detective-novel/)– The facepile Facebook plugins displays ONLY users who liked “[http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”); * 2.) The like button (with the url to [http://thomaskaufman.com/author/](http://thomaskaufman.com/author/)) must be added through the theme php code (or if you have a static page as your homepage you can add it manually – see [Plugin Shortcode](http://wp-connect.tomasvorobjov.com/docs/#plugins-position)) * 3.) use iframe * 4.) this has something to the with wordpress internal redirects … I’ll have to have a look later * Thread Starter [tkaufman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tkaufman/) * (@tkaufman) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471261) * 1. How do I change this? * 2. Sorry, but not sure how to accomplish this? Are you saying to add the code generated by the app to the theme’s .php file? The Iframe code? And which of the many .php files do I modify? * thanks * Plugin Author [scibuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scibuff/) * (@scibuff) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471262) * 1.) you do this through 2.) 2.) you need (at least some) PHP/Wordpress development skills * Thread Starter [tkaufman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tkaufman/) * (@tkaufman) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/#post-2471263) * Right, i have very few skills, i know. But here’s the thing — if you look at my home page, you can see that someone (my daughter) has used the like button( here’s an image: [http://imgur.com/R1AIm](http://imgur.com/R1AIm)) but no face image of her * So, I’ve generated the code again making sure the url was correct, and used the iframe code and and placed it in a widget in the footer — still nothing. * From what you’re saying, I need to make the like button refer to the entire site, not just the blog. I do that by adding the iframe code to the theme .php? * Do you know which page of .php code I should use? * thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 23 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘[Plugin: WordPress Connect] facepile’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wordpress-connect.svg) * [Wordpress Connect](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-connect/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-connect/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-connect/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-connect/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-connect/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-connect/reviews/) * 23 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [scibuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scibuff/) * Last activity: [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-connect-facepile/page/2/#post-2471336) * Status: not resolved
