yoann217

Hello, I can’t use your plugin with my page : I think it’s because I have a “é” in my fan page name, so did you have a solution ?

http://netcrunched.com/ netCrunched

@yoann217 GDay yoann217. What is your facebook page URL. I would like to reproduce it any my end.

yoann217

@netCrunched@yoann217 https://www.facebook.com/pages/PloofVid%C3%A9o/245649876507

http://netcrunched.com/ netCrunched

@yoann217 Thanks yoann217. I do see it’s working on my site. You can see it in sidebar.. I’ll remove it once you see it.
yoann217

@netCrunched So I made something wrong I think, I took ‘PloofVidéo’ in “the Facebook Page Name” it’s good or not ?
http://netcrunched.com/ netCrunched

@yoann217 it is fine.
yoann217

@netCrunched so didn’t work for me, I have an error at the place of the widget (in french) so the traduction could be :

The identification of the specified page cant be recovers. Check that the href content tranmist is correct.

(L’identifiant de la page spécifiée n’a pas pu être récupéré. Veuillez vérifier que le contenu href correct a été transmis.)
yoann217

@netCrunched So finnaly I made it work, I use the pages/PloofVidéo/245649876507 instead of PloofVidéo
http://netcrunched.com/ netCrunched

@yoann217 I’m glad it worked.
b.nijhoff

@NetCrunched@yoann217 works for me as well

Bridget Haymond

I had to creat a new fan page and now I can’t get the plugin to work with my new name. I put in just the page name (Bridget Haymond – Christian Life Coaching) and it won’t work. I also added it with the full http address and it still won’t work… This is the error message I’m getting: “Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.”

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks.

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

@Bridget Haymond GDay Bridget Haymond, could you please share you complete facebook url? I’ll try to reproduce it at my end.

Bridget Haymond

@NetCrunched Sure, here it is: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bridget-Haymond-Christian-Life-Coaching/172854719486993

@Bridget Haymond Thanks. I couldn’t recreated an issue. Its working fine at my end. Could you try placing “pages/Bridget-Haymond-Christian-Life-Coaching/172854719486993″ as your FB page name?
Bridget Haymond

@NetCrunched That fixed it! Thank you so much for your assistance

Richard Lake

Hi,

I am trying to style the Like Box widget and not having much luck.

I read this article here:

http://www.daddydesign.com/wordpress/how-to-customize-your-facebook-fan-box/

And inserted the below code in the as_facebook_mem_options_page() function.

I then updated my WordPress style.css with new fb: css tags, however the widget refuses to restyle.

So how am I meant to restyle the widget correctly?

Gday Richard Lake, I’ve not tried above on my blog but will take a look at this in weekend. Stay tuned.

http://www.facebook.com/Maso.kun Shawn Williams

Hello,

Is there a way to hide the stream of fans?

yes, kindly look at this option page: http://netcrunched.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/screenshot-15.png

Regarding stream of friends, I’ll add that option in my next release. Stay tuned.

NetC,

I did that but it still does not work. It keeps on saying “ Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.”

Here is he web link: http://sonomavoice.biz/ortiz4senate/ you can scan the HTML, when you get a chance.

I have the same problem with the twitter plugin it just shows a blank twitter box.

Thanks

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Phiip, could you please share you FB page URL? I’ll try to debug at my end.

Phiip Yim

Thanks here you go:

I also noticed that there is a lot of styling that does not have CSS

BTW great plugin

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

Thanks Phiip. Now I got the situation. This plugin is only applicable to Facebook Pages. You can’t add your profile or group.

And it’s clear i must make a choice !

Remco Tevreden

would advice to make a simple manual, and after 15 min I found out that it is best that you log out of facebook to see the actual facepile on your website

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Remco, that’s good suggestion. I don’t have timeline but will add blog post with all required info.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_AQEA2TEIOECSJARW3DOTTWXNZA slotman

I need this to be transparent, exactly like it was before this ‘background color’ thing was added – so it won’t differ from my theme! How can I make the background transparent again?

Btw, changing the background color here has no effect – it is always white.

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Slotman, you could have transparant background by putting background color field empty. Do let me know if it wont work. Regarding, no effect, you may want to clear blog cache if you are using any cache plugin. Let me know.

http://blog.investori.fi/ Dan Naumov

The newer version of the plugin seems to force the displaying of the ”
Facebook social plugin” text in the area below the sidebar widget while the previous ones didn’t. How do I remove this?

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Dan Naumov, Thanks for concern. I believe, it’s always there. Could you please double check at FB’s official like box page?

TexanJohn

I am trying to help my wife get this plug-ing working on her WP blog: http://momsfreeadvice.com
I have tried every value I can for ‘Facebook Page Name’, but I only seem to get an error that states: Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.

What value is supposed to be in the setting? Something like:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Moms-Free-Advice/265776436826639

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay TexanJohn, could you please try putting “pages/Moms-Free-Advice/265776436826639″? It worked for me.

Griff

Trying to add a Facebook Page Name and having problems. It seems to ignore the hyphen I have, which makes it put up another Facebook page instead of mine. Any ideas what I can do?

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Griff, it should not ignore the hyphen from page URL. Could you please share your FB page? I would like to recreate the issue.

Also, this may help: http://netcrunched.com/facebook-member-wordpress-plugin-find-proper-url/

Is there any way to turn off of how many people like my site? Site is small and local so will never have many followers but would like to show the followers I do have?

GDay Paulnanan, As per my knowledge, I don’t think it’s possible. You may want to take a look at FB like box manual.

Hello! Very nice plugin. How can I add a title to it though? Currently, I can’t add a title, as a result it messes up my sidebar. For some reason, my theme requires a title, or else the sidebar gets wonky. I am comfortable with editing php files. Thanks in advance.

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay there. Thanks. You need to provide “Widget Title”, as you see in admin panel screenshot here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-members/screenshots/

Hi there,

Just had it installed but it’s showing pictures/faces!!
http://yogaretreatsonline.net

Thanks!

Kl_snow

Actually I meant “not showing pictures/faces”…
http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

Gday Lk_snow. You can customize all setting from WP admin console. I do see it working fine. For documentation please use this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/

Weston

Hi, is there a way to modify your plugin so that it simply looks like it does in the Facebook Members settings area? Basically so it just looks like this and nothing more? I’ve been searching forever and have installed every fb wp plugin and yours is the closest but I don’t want the faces or stream but I have to enable faces to see the number of likes displayed. All I want displayed is the like button itself and immediately to the right the tiny facebook “f” with the number of people that like it. Can this be done in the options somewhere?Like173 people like this.

Weston

Sorry it didn’t paste my example: basically it’s the like icon with a tiny “f” to the right, then the number of likes, nothing more. That’s what I’m trying to accomplish in the Facebook Member settings as it’s displayed that way directly above the settings but then it’s not obvious how to modify to that exact format. Thanks in advance for your help. -Weston

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Weston. Sorry for late reply. Yes, you can achieve all by setting proper options from WP admin panel. I’m not sure where you stuck.

Weston

I definitely tried all the different settings available, could you suggest what settings exactly to make it appear just as the example does while in the admin area? (it’s directly above the admin area, that’s the way i need it to look) Thanks!

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Weston. Try setting “No” for “Show Stream” and “Show Faces”.

Hello, how could I put multiple “Facebook Members” widget in different sidebar (I have 2 sidebar where I want to put the widget, but I can put only one widget…)

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Yoann, currently this plugin only supports one widget. I do received few requests about adding multiple widget and it’s in my todo list but currently I don’t have any timeline for that.

Griff

Got it working fine now, thanks! Great plugin. One question – how can you have the widget in both the sidebar and homepage sidebar? Basically, I want the plugin to appear wherever a visitor is on my website.

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Griff, kindly look at below update from me. It’s the same Q.

Wf

Hello, if i try this:
= How can I get Facebook Member Widget to my blog’s Page or Post? =

* Please add (no space) to any page/post under HTML section.

It doesn´t work! I dont get the box in the frontend.

To include with a widget works – But – only one time … I have more than one sidebar … so i tried to include with the code and this doesn´t work.

Do you have a solution?? Please!

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

Hi Wf. currently this plugin only supports one widget. I do received few requests about adding multiple widget and it’s in my todo list but sorry currently I don’t have any timeline for that.

Marms Molander

After installing the app, the swedish letter å,ä and ö, appears as Ã¶ in the panel. Then if I do changes in pages and posts, all the text that is republished with the åäö letters turns in to ¶mbrÃ¶llop. menus and and everything are unable to present theese letters! Will it help to uninstall the app, if so, how do I do that?

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

GDay Marms, not sure what actual problem do you have? May be related to localization?

Pat

I have Show Stream selected, but it’s only displaying my facebook comments, and none of the other visitors comments? How do I get all comments from facebook page to display? Also would like to display number of likes at top of sidebar widget, without displaying faces. Is that possible?

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

Hi Pat. There must be some setting on FB Page setting tab. You could get all comments from FB page. Also, yes, you can display number of likes on top of sidebar.

Thea

Hi, I’ve been using this plugin for awhile and today it started showing only 11 people instead of the 15 that I have set in settings, and now after a few hours only 10. Nothing I tried seems to fix it. Also since the update, I have a weird vertical line on the right of the widget.

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

Hi Thea, do you still have the same issue?

Thea

Now it shows 20 faces, although I have it set for 15, and you can only see the top of the last row of 5 faces, as I have it set to a certain height and I don’t want the widget to be bigger than this. If I lower the height, to make the extra row disappear, or not show, the widget only shows 10 faces and some empty space underneath.
You can see it at http://endtimeinfo.com/

Danie Feuth

I am using the plugin and like it. I only have one problem in that members are duplicated inside the widget area. Is there anyway to fix this? http://www.myphotoblog.co.za/

Hi Danie Feuth, do you still have this issue?

Alex

what is the shortcode for this plugin? i want it to put in the content page and not in the sidebar or footer. is there a shortcode for this? Thanks.

Is it possible to have a facebook like button on the same place as the twitter button is? I can’t seem to fine any places to fix/edit this..

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

Hi Mathias, this plugin is using facebook like box API. I’m afraid it’s not for sharing post. There are lots of other WordPress plugins available for the same for you to use

http://www.ozedesign.com.au/ Thrashin_au

Hi there, can I add this to the footer page to have it display on every page in the site?

http://netcrunched.com/ NetCrunched

Hi Thrasin_au, yes, you can add it to footer widget section. Currently this plugin doesn’t support theme shortcode.

Megajoshx

Hello! First of all, thank you for creating such a slick-looking app for free. Very awesome of you.

However – I can’t seem to get it to work on my wordpress install. I’ve added the widget, set the settings, but the widget utility perpetually asks that I “Please go to Settings -> Facebook Members for all required options”. I’ve done this multiple times, to no avail. Any assistance would be appreciated.

My site is here:
http://www.laserfist.com/

My Facebook Fan Page is here:

Megajoshx

Actually, it seems to be working now…sorry for the bother. I guess it just maybe takes a bit to populate on the page

Judith Boersen

Hello,

I Installed the plugin, And try to connect to my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/dolfijnenreizen.dolphintrips
But it doesn’t seem to find the connection.
in the 2 fields “Facebook Page Name” (WordPress>Settings>FB Members)
I fill in “dolfijnenreizen.dolphintrips”
But no success.
Then I looked If I had any restrictions on my site (country or age-restrictions)
But I did not even find the page where these restrictions are being set.

On my website http://www.dolfijnenreizen.nl it says in the widget space:
Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.
id? href?

What could be the problem?

Judith
Jim Adams

Hello, I just implemented your plugin and I really like it. However, it seems that the plugin does not show the details of the Facebook page (header, stream, and faces, or the number of likes) unless the user is logged into Facebook on their computer. Once I log into Facebook in another browser window then the widget updates with the details from the FB page the widget is linked to. My blog is http://focolax.com and the FB page is https://www.facebook.com/FoCoLax.
Thanks,
Jim
