Just checked this morning — my daughter liked another page on my site (not a blog post) and it immediately showed up in her facebook feed.
To days ago she liked the homepage, and that like also showed up in her feed.
So, it seems that part of WP Connect is working, but Facepile is not.
I would really appreciate some help here.
thanks
Hi
I’m researching Facepile and found this bit of code, but don’t know where it should go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
if ( function_exists( ‘wp_connect_facepile’ ) ){
$url = ‘http://www.mysite.com/my-post’;
$width = 480;
$max_rows = 2;
// render the facepile plugin in place
wp_connect_facepile(
$url,
$width,
$max_rows
);
}
Hi, this is for theme/plugin developers to use WP Connect in their code – it goes into a theme(or plugin output if you write your own plugin) files. For example, you can add it to your footer.php in the place where you want the Facepile to appear (although a better way is to use the widget which generates exactly the same code)
Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried to use the facepile widget without success.
What’s strange is that the rest of it is working. Two FB users have liked my page, and I can see the two likes on any page of my site. When they liked my site, it showed up on their FB wall, all of that’s good.
Here’s the iframe code I placed in a text widget. When the page loads, it looks like it’s doing something, but no Facepile:
<iframe src=”//www.facebook.com/plugins/facepile.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fthomaskaufman.com%2Fauthor&action&size=small&max_rows=1&width=300&colorscheme=light&appId=192752084137076″ scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ style=”border:none; overflow:hidden; width:300px;” allowTransparency=”true”></iframe>
I notice this is different from the code you sent me, so I’m probably making an error…
thanks
How did they like your page, you don’t have any like buttons there to like the url http://thomaskaufman.com/author Are you sure they didn’t like one of your posts instead?
This is still showing zero likes for your url
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I can send you an image of my homepage. Like every other page on my site, it has a like, button, a send button, and a comments area — all done with FB.
Today I asked a FB friend to press the like button and write a short comment. She did this. Her comment appears on her FB wall, and now the site says “one person likes this”
But when i view the link you supplied, I can see I have 0 likes. And though I’ve activated Facepile on my homepage, my friend’s profile picture does not appear.
I appreciate your help,
Hi,
I have asked a FB friend to like a page on my site. She chose the appearances page, pressed the like button. Now when i view the page, I can see that one person likes it, so that’s good. But when I go to:
this link
I still have zero likes. I DO see one total and one share count, which is new.
thanks
Hi,
it feels like we’re going in circles here… what your friend did was to like a particular article on your blog, namely
Jazz and the Art of the Detective Novel
. This is DIFFERENT from liking your blog (because the URL is different). The Facepile plugin display ONLY likes of the URL which you specify in the URL field when you add the widget!!! NO sub-urls, even on the same domains, are included in the count. Here’s the link displaying the Like count for the URL that yoru friend actually liked.
