Strange problem with Facebook like code
-
I had added Facebook follow&like buttons to my wordpress site using a code, that I needed to put on the site using the shortcoder plugin (the buttons sit within a sidebar). The goal was, to not insert a “general code” for the entire site, but make the code page-specific. This worked, but all over sudden, the buttons do no show anymore.
Here is the code I am using:
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden; height: 21px;" src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?locale=en_US&href=[url]&width&layout=button_count&action=like&show_faces=false&share=true&height=21" width="225" height="150" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>The culprit for the “non-show” seems to be the
[url]-part of the code. This is supposed to read out the current url of the PAGE, which in the past it did without problems. As for a test: When I exchange that little snippet with a proper, single URL (using http://xxxxxxx), the Facebook buttons show up. That means: that very[url]snippet of the code stopped reading out the page’s URL.I just do not remember, how this little snippet grabs the URL. Is that coming from somewhere else in my wordpress installation? Is that a common code? Has maybe that code lost its function after upgrading to WP 4.3? I don’t think, that this little snippet is part of a shortcoder-function, since I vaguely remember, when writing that code, that this was not part of shortcoder’s “language”.
Sorry, but I am just stuck, so any help would be most appreciated.
