[SOLVED] Facebook Plugin stopped working after upgrade
Hi all,
I upgraded successfully from an old version 3.4.x to the latest version. Everything works well - except my facebook plugin (as well as a - not related - facebook like widget): nothing shows up (under any post). No like button, no comment, nothing. Also, the widget in the sidebar does not show the like- box (with a standard HTML code): <div class="fb-like-box" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/greencardgewinner" data-width="200" data-height="210" data-colorscheme="light" data-show-faces="true" data-header="false" data-stream="false" data-show-border="false"></div> Page is here: http://greencard-gewinner.ch I did not change any settings, and the facebook plugin reports no issues as well. What could that be? Thanks and best, Goofy |
Try swapping to twenty-fourteen and see if the plugin works then you will know if it is a theme or plugin problem
|
Thanks!
I switched back and the plugin works! Also, the like-box shows up. It has to be theme-related. I am on the latest version of the theme and wordpress. Best, Goofy |
I just realized, that the widget in the sidebar gets "altered" by the theme. This is the code within the (text) widget:
<div class="fb-like-box" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/greencardgewinner" data-width="200" data-height="210" data-colorscheme="light" data-show-faces="true" data-header="false" data-stream="false" data-show-border="false"></div> However, a browser inspector shows for that DIV in this area div.fb-like-box 229px x 0 px Not sure why this is happening. The ride sidebar width is set to 250 pixels in the theme options. |
what is the plugin?
What is in the widget? What code inspector did you use to see the 'div.fb-like-box 229px x 0 px'? Firefox doesn't show it for me. |

There are two separate issues:
1) a standard wordpress "text" widget (no plugin) with the code mentioned above (the "like box") does not show up at all with Atahualpa. I can add any text below that code though, and it shows up. You're totally right, I don't see the div showing up at all in Firefox and Chrome either; Safari's webinspector shows it though. 2. Since I upgraded to the latest version of the theme, facebook comments and the like-button (which are supposed to show up below every post and every page) are just gone. I am using the official facebook plugin (latest version, 1.5.5 - http://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook/). When I switch to Twentyfourteen, both issues are gone, and everything is back to normal. Especially issue number 2 is kinda critical. Sorry, I don't really know how I should troubleshoot that :( Attachment 2568 |
(my last post ist pending due to an attachment)
The code for the fb-comment box (via plugin) is definitely there, also in Atahualpa: <div class="fb-social-plugin fb-like" data-font="arial" data-ref="below-post" data-href="http://greencard-gewinner.ch/" data-share="true" data-show-faces="true" data-width="450"></div> However, nothing shows up. |

Try disabling all your other plugins to see if there is a conflict.
On my test site, I added the plugin and your code to a text widget and I see your facebook link in the sidebar. This tells me there is a conflict, but it is on your site i.e. something to do with your setup, plugins etc. here is an image from my site Attachment 2569 |
Thanks - Wow, this is really weird. So I disabled all (!!) my plugins, and I still have both issues. Again, switching to Twenty14 solves both problems.
Maybe there is a particular setting in the theme options (which apparently I enabled, or got enabled after the update) which cause the issue!? It must be something I activated, since you tested it with a basic installation (however, I'd hate to reset my theme options). Best |
Do an export of your theme settings (ATO->export/Import) and attach it to a reply and I'll test your settings

Go to ATO->Style & edit FOOTER and hit the green SAVE button

No way - what was that??? Thank you so much, both issues are gone!
