I came across something strange; the Facebok Page Plugin doesn't load on mobile only if it's for a specific Facebook page.
My code:
<div id="fb-root"> </div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s);
js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.4&appId=1591121954498982";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<div class="fb-page" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-height="350" data-hide-cover="false" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/סיפורי-פירות-Fruit-Story/410067012494711?fref=ts" data-show-facepile="true" data-show-posts="true" data-small-header="false"> </div>
Changing just this line:
data-href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/סיפורי-פירות-Fruit-Story/410067012494711?fref=ts"
to another page's URL such as:
data-href="https://www.facebook.com/CocaColaUnitedStates?fref=ts"
...makes the plugin load fine.
Is it because the page URL contains Hebrew? Is there a relevant page setting?
I set up a small demo page:
http://s-fruit.co.il/facebook-test.html
Found the cause!
This is an intentional (though peculiar) behavior of Facebook when dealing with age-restricted pages and guest users (not logged in, as it often happens on mobile browsers as most use the app).
Why not simply display a login prompt? Some paraphrased info? Who knows. At least the mystery is solved.

I'm creating a Facebook page plugin using the tool here, and I was lead to believe I would have the option of selecting HTML5 from a drop down box.
However, there are no options to select from.
I only see:
Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening <body> tag.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5&appId=171705736232531";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
Place the code for your plugin wherever you want the plugin to appear on your page.
<div class="fb-page" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/example.com" data-tabs="timeline" data-small-header="false" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="true"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/example.com">Example</blockquote></div></div>
Is this code HTML5 by default?
Is this code HTML5 by default?
Yes, HTML5 would seem to be the default (and only) option these days.
Previously, there were additional options for "XFBML", "IFRAME" and "URL". But these would have resulted in very different plugin code to copy 'n' paste.
I created a Facebook share widget on my page. When I use the widget to share the page to my own Facebook account, I find that the box that gets created on my timeline contains a link "WIDGET_LIKE_LOG_APP".
When I click that link, it takes me to a page
https://www.facebook.com/games/?app_id=107599262613689
with the error message :
Sorry, WIDGET_LIKE_LOG_APP hasn't been approved for display in App
Center.
How can I prevent Facebook from creating that WIDGET_LIKE_LOG_APP link?
Code on my page to create the share widget:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function (d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s);
js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<div class="fb-like" data-href="#Model.Url" data-layout="button_count" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div>
Looking at your code it seems you are using the Like Button instead of the Share Button.
Anyway the problem is that you are not specifying an appId on the widget definition (on the js.src parameter). You can use the wizard on the Like Button page to get the specific code that you should embed in your page.
I reported this issue to Facebook. They confirmed this was a bug. They've now come back to me saying the bug has been fixed.
I am trying to use the Facebook Page Plugin, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin/, including the page posts. Any videos that appear in the posts do NOT play.
The website where I have added the plugin is hosted by Main Street sites. I added the JavaScript SDK code to the site options, global content, after body section.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
I added the plugin code to the home page:
<div class="fb-page" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/MusicTogetherBR?fref=ts" data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="false" data-show-posts="true"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/MusicTogetherBR?fref=ts">Music Together of Bay Ridge</blockquote></div></div>
Has anyone else tried this and experienced the same issue? Is it possible to get the videos to play?
Thank you.
This appears to be a bug. I went ahead and filed one on your behalf. Here's the link - https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/994234910609982/. Please subscribe to the bug and we'll provide an update there.
UPDATE: This should now be fixed. Can you please check and let us know if it's not working correctly ?
I have implemented the Facebook comments plugin to a page on my site. In addition to this I would like to be bale to moderate the comments. I followed the instructions on the Facebook developer section and implemented as described. I wanted to use the inline moderation tool rather than create an app. So I placed the following meta data.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="533551342"/>
Where the content is set to my Facebook profile ID.
I have then placed the script code as per Facebook developer instructions.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=672941899483225&version=v2.3";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
Once that is in place, I added the comments section to the site using the code instructed.
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://www.microspot.com/case-studies/boat_design.htm" data-width="540" data-numposts="10" data-colorscheme="light"></div>
So with all this in place the comments section shows and works, but the moderate link does not appear next to the number of posts text (which is what should happen according to face books documentation).
The web page is http://www.microspot.com/case-studies/boat_design.htm
Thanks in advance.
It seems the issue was not with the code but with Facebook re-indexing my changes. There is a tool on the Facebook developer page for debugging and indexing your changes.
Any update you make to the Facebook code on your webpage, especially the meta data, you should always use the following debug tool.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Simply paste your webpage link (should be a live page not local) into the box and follow the instructions each time you make a change.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=672941899483225&version=v2.3";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
I installed facebook comments on my website. My website is a dynamic website and pages are like this www.example.com/page?id=54, www.example.com/page?id=67
If I post a comment in this page: www.site.com/page?id=54, it also appears in www.example.com/page?id=67. The comments are not unique for a page, but appear in every page. Why is that ?
It seems that FB ignores the ?query part of the URL when retrieving comments.
What you could do: use some form of URl rewriting, so that your URLs are in the form http://www.example.com/page/id/54/ or similar (i.e., appearing to not use the ?id=something query part). That way, the comments should load for each page separately.
Here is a solution that worked for me.
1- Copy this SDK from Facebook. Most probably you already did that.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function (d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=114215202075258";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
2- Then this
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://example.com" data-width="470" data-num-posts="3"></div>
3- The the solution line. Paste these lines of JS at the end. Make sure you do everything in the similar order as I have. It will work, no matter you have a ? in your URL.
<script>
$(".fb-comments").attr("data-href", window.location.href);
</script>
