When I go to settings - sharing on my blog's dashboard, it doesn't give me the option to Publicize to Facebook - it just shows available services and enabled services and the ability to drag between the two.
My Facebook widget worked when I first set up blog--now it has disappeared from sidebar. It just has title. I have reposted it several times, on Appearances--Widgets--drag to add, filled out and checked options. Nothing changes. It just lists name of Facebook,which is also a link, but no faces, or former box et al
@mitruestories
My Facebook widget
Are you referring to the Facebook badge provided by WordPress.com?
Or are you referring to the Facebook likebox widget > Appearance > Widgets > Facebook likebox widget? If so the data is cached and takes time to update.
I have not tried Facebook badge.
I use Appearance--Widgets and drag "Facebook Like Box" to the sidebar and fill out options.
I don't know why content with graphics and photos disappeared. It didn't take much time to post the first time.
I will wait to see if it updates later--or if you have any tips on how I can retrieve content??.
This is the error message and it indicates you have no entered the correct and complete Facebook page URL starting with http://
Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.
posted URL again
same result
thanks if you have any advice how to get content in sidebar
It is the "Facebook Like Box" that everyone is referring to. Upon installation, it worked fine with the news stream. Then, about a week ago, all that remained was the title. I have emptied my cache to no avail. I have deleted and reinstalled the widget to no avail. Huston, we have a problem!
