I tried the like box that Facebook provides. I get the code and placed it on a text widget but it didn't look right, it was in the code form.

The only Facebook like box widget you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog is found here > Appearance > Widgets

NOTE > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

For Facebook integration see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/

The Facebook Like Box which is a widget here isn' t in the type I want.

I am using the top widget area and try to place it with the other widgets. But it has an invisible space under it and it makes the content being displayed somewhere lower than it used to be. Is there a way to cancel this?

Also, I tried the like box that Facebook provides. I get the code and placed it on a text widget but it didn't look right, it was in the code form.

I think the box Facebook provides is better but if you have a solution for any of my attempts, I will be happy if you share.

Can we expect an update of this widget so that it allows for the most basic customization?

CSS can only reach things that are served from the same domain as the originating site. That means that you can style anything *before* the Facebook widget gets added (i.e. maybe the outer most border *if* it's outside the embedded widget part and maybe the shape of the container for the widget), but you cannot use CSS to adjust the appearance of stuff inside the Facebook widget because it's embedded using an iframe and Facebook controls that content.

Here is an example of making the container widgets wider within the scope of your blog which is using the Twenty Eleven theme:

.widget_facebook_likebox {
	width: 235px;
}

I wonder if it's expectable an update to the Facebook widget.
It's quite primary as it is. Facebook at least allows for some basic customization on their developers site.

We need basic thing like setting the color of the borders and background to make the widget fit with our themes.

...And it looks like we're stuck with the worst setup, too: asymmetric, with borders of different colors, bugs, a total mess...

Can we expect an update of this widget so that it allows for the most basic customization?

Anyone has heard something?

Cheers, guys!!

On odocealgodaodoce's blog it has been fixed.

@alpacaselsol
1. Login to Facebook account.
2. Go to your Facebook page.
3. Make sure you're not "Using Facebook as Page" i-e icon on right top corresponds to the profile and "Voice" also refers the same.
4. Now copy/paste the url in the Facebook like widget.

I searched and located this. It's a Staff response to a member who has a custom design upgrade and was trying to use CSS editing to customize the Facebook likebox widget.

An iframe is universally handled like a different HTML page by most browsers. If the iframe is on a different domain, like it is in the case of Facebook's likebox, then you cannot adjust that content using CSS on the site displaying the iframe. To adjust it, you would need to have access to the Facebook iframe content directly, which is something you cannot do from the WordPress.com side. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/facebook-widget-manipulating-it-with-css?replies=12#post-857623

I'd rather it be shorter than have it cut off in the middle of someone's picture (here's what mine looks like on my page) Is there anyway I can also get the Facebook users who've liked us to show up in equal columns and rows? There's an awkward space at the end of the box that I don't know what to do with. Please help! Thank you.
