Reviews
I am most impressed with how simple this plugin is to use and how versatile it is. I was having an issue, however, with my computer not showing the results correctly. I reached out to the developer expecting not to hear back for at least a few days and got a message just a half hour later. After a little prompt back and forth he suggested a browser plugin was the culprit and we now have it working great. I'm really impressed!

New Facebook Like Box widget
Next, after adding the widget to the blog sidebar, you need to customize it a little. Necessarily enter the ID of your FB page, for many Facebook Like Box does not work, because the page title is incorrect. For example, here is my page URL:
https://www.facebook.com/zagulyaevsv
https://www.facebook.com/wordpressmaniya
We take the last thing after the slash - this is the name of the page. In the free version, you can specify the number of user photos to display in the box; the width and height of the widget, and also enter the desired language, that is, Russian. By adding like this: ru_RU
Setting up the Facebook Like Box widget
Yes, I almost forgot, you can insert a Facebook Like Box into the text of a message or onto a website page. A new Add like box button will appear in your visual WP message editor. Here you can use it to insert a Facebook Like Box into a message. Write, write an article and in the right place, click on the button, a window will appear where you, just like in the widget (screenshot above), can specify the necessary data.

This code is suitable for any website, you don’t have to go to Facebook to get the code for the widget, you don’t have to worry and waste your nerves. Because many people are unable to use it and write to help me because, Facebook Like Box not working. Naturally, I offer my code and please, everything works fine. That's how it is, friends.
In order to install a widget for fans of your FB page in the sidebar of your site, you need to insert the following simple code into the text widget:

Although, because I'm a programmer, so I could be wrong :)
Facebook plugins are widgets, blocks, buttons, etc. that are already prepared for installation on websites, specially designed for this purpose. Which help to integrate social network services into your website.
We will add a Facebook “page” to your website.
Our journey will begin with the developer page - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins
Don’t be alarmed, you won’t have to develop anything, you just need to customize the appearance a little and then get the code to insert into the site.
You will see a whole list of plugins, each of which you can then try on your own. We decided that we would install the Page plugin.
Click on the button - “Web platform” to proceed to code generation. The names of all these buttons are invented by special evil programmers, so that ordinary users do not understand what they are, and they would turn to programmers for help.
You will find yourself on the next page, where you will be asked to play with the parameters of the future widget.
The most important one is the address of the facebook page you are embedding.
When you have had enough of the settings, click the “Get code” button.
The program will show you a window with options for inserting code:
There are two options, let's consider both.
Javascript SDK Insertion
You see two pieces of HTML code. Where should they be inserted?
You can edit header.php directly from the site admin panel. Go to the menu “Appearance” -> “editor” and select the one we need from the list header.php.
The second code needs to be inserted into the file that is responsible for the widget output column on the site. But we will make it simpler, we will not delve into the theme files, but will add a text widget through the “appearance” -> “widgets” menu.
Add a Text widget to your sidebar in the order you want it to appear on your site.
Instead of text, you need to insert a second piece of html code. Save. We admire our site.
Inserting an IFrame
As you can see, you only need to insert one code here. It's really easier. All you need to do is create a text widget as described above and paste the suggested code in place of the text.
Why then do we need such a complex first option? :) I cannot reveal all the secrets of the world conspiracy of programmers, because... swore a terrible oath.
I really hope this article will help you figure out how to install Facebook widgets on your WP blog.
