Adding A Facebook Like or Recommend Button To iWeb – Video Tutorial

September 30th, 2011

There was, yet another, update to the Facebook Developers like button page, which has caused some confusion for iWeb users trying to put the Like button on their site. Here is an updated video to outline what user’s should now do in order to add the button. Note at the end where the button is not visible on the screen. Many of you can expect to see the same, which may make it a bit tricky to add the button.

    Which is better on a website for SEO, Like or Recommend?

    They are both the same.

    I don’t know. Google is picking up on my phone recommend buttons but ignoring my like buttons.

    My problems is that it says:

    “This plugin does not have an iframe implementation with the selected options. Please use the JavaScript SDK and the HTML5 or XFBML implementations, or change the value of the send parameter.”

    What am i supposed to do then?

    Thanks for the replies.

    Uncheck the option that says Send Button

    I followed the above steps to add a “like button” , but when the page is published to a folder the button isn’t there. I was a little confused that the pasted code wouldn’t show up until the page was published and I wasn’t sure how to size the box without being able to see how everything fit until it was published, but I tried it anyway.I used the iframe option. Could it be the page is new because I’m also having trouble finding my biz page doing a search. Some people have found me (two to be exact) and some can’t. Is Facebook having a melt down?

    I might be a little confused. I thought this button would forward people to my facebook page, so they could like me. The button is there but doesn’t seem to do anything. Is it suppose to?

    It is working for me now 🙂

    It’s funny. I wasn’t able to add the box to my iWeb site.
    The box was not visible. In cas if you do have the same problem:
    Add “http:” before “www.facebook.com”
    like this:
    <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com
    Don't know why FB code does not include this.
