The Facebook Like box for my webpage does not show with Google Chrome, but shows with IE (not sure about others like firefox). I am using the IFrame code supplied by Facebook. I've tried adding http:// to the Facebook iFrame code... I checked my FB settings (age is 13+, no geographic restrictions) I have read on here that others have had a similar problem, but no answer. I also have the same problem with my other websites that have the like box embedded. Is this a Facebook or Google error? Or did I miss something? Thanks!

(the like box should be under the text that reads "the farm stand is closed")
I've found out that it was my recent update of Avast virus scanner that caused the problem. I said yes to installation of an online scanner.
I checked Google Chromes extension, deleted this extension, and now the like box is loading again.

For me it was the DISCONNECT Chrome extension that was causing the problem.
So anyway, usually it's an extension causing this issue!

I've been using the Facebook Plugin for years, on dozens of websites, but all of a sudden, I can only see the page's facebook header, the actual feed appears only as a spinning icon. This is on my desktop and mobile device, feed is at the bottom of the page. https://saltydogfestival.com

However, my co-worker in the desk across from me tried it on his desktop and laptop and the feed loads just fine.
I'm not a page admin for this particular feed.
I have this plugin for other facebook pages, for which I AM an Admin, and those don't show up for me, either. I've tried using Chrome and Edge.
I'm knocking my head against the wall with this.... or maybe it's something so simple that I'm not seeing it... Suggestions??? Please save what's left of my sanity!
I think this issue has affected many sites including mine. I used a third party plugin recently that's said to no affect page speed. It's called "Buttonizer - Smart Floating Action Button" you can add a FB messenger button also and add call to action and any they button as well. I have disabled the Facebook chat one for now. If you can update me if it's now work for you that would be great as I'm in the same boat. Email mtgusto#outlook.com
Edited - bug seems resolved
This is what worked for me:
Go to Facebook Developers - Page Plugin and configure the 'widget' with desired params.
As you change the parameters the preview should update & show. If it doesn't, try signing out.
Click "Get Code" beneath the preview. I used the JavaScript SDK method.
Copy & paste the first piece of code after the < body > tag.
Copy & paste the second piece of code where the box should appear.
Previous answer - leaving here for posterity / reference
It seems to be an issue with Facebook that occurs when the visitor is signed in to Facebook. Try viewing the page in a private window or reload after you have signed out of Facebook to see if it loads when you are not signed in.
There's more information on a Facebook Developers bug report, which was just marked as closed 8/26, although it still appears to be happening: https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/584988619248795/
This other community thread has a work-around - look for Dave's comment: https://developers.facebook.com/community/threads/1018223139108570/
i am trying to create a facebook app, however the security check won't let me. There's an iframe which just will not load.
I have tried it with chrome, edge, safari, disabling McAffee, tried it on my smartphone without wifi connection but nothing worked.
Do you have any tips what i could try or does someone know about this problem?
Here is a screenshot of the error in chrome:

This is how it looks like in edge:

It says "Cant show this content in an iframe.
For safari: there is simply nothing where the iframe should be.
Ok problem solved by time. Just tried it again a few hours later and it was working well now.
Using edge instead of chrome solved this for me.
Until today, I was able to add ?ref=ts to a Facebook tab url & it would be mobile-friendly.
Not today. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround to the workaround?
Link for example: https://www.facebook.com/microartssandbox2015/app/924049424328019/?ref=ts
Works fine on desktop.
However, on mobile, I get:
The page you requested cannot be display right now ...
This has never really worked for me. The general (and well known) workaround is to use an external website and redirect to the Page on desktop. On mobile, you just stay on the external website.
It looks like a recent Chrome update broke this by tightening mixed content (https/http) security policies, and I read that Firefox plans to do this too.
Here's the issue:
Say I set the Secure Canvas URL of my app to https://themediadudes.com/httpstest/
That page contains only a link to Google:
Google
When I view the app on Facebook and click the link, nothing happens. An error appears in the console:
[blocked] The page at https://apps.facebook.com/myappname/ ran insecure
content from http://www.google.com/.
I understand that having insecure scripts/stylesheets etc. on an https page isn't allowed, but a simple link to a different website shouldn't be blocked right?. I assume Facebook is running some scripts which do something with the page before sending the user there? Which causes the error.
If I set the target of the link to _top or _blank it works.
Ideally I want to be able to use a javascript window.location to send the user to this insecure URL, or header('Location: blah'); in PHP. But neither of those work either. And it looks like this is a bigger problem than that if even a simple link to an insecure URL doesn't work.
I thought it may be caused by whatever makes the 'fluid' canvas width and canvas height settings work. But I tried setting both width and height to fixed and the problem still happens.
Does anybody have a solution or workaround, or can anybody at least shed some more light on this?
Thanks
I've been struggling with a similar issue and the answer seems to be that it is not possible at all to reference any non-https resources from within your page tab app. Of course if a google link is all you require then that is simply resolved (as google has a https version of course) but referencing external non-https sites will always turn up this warning/block in chrome
Additionally, I should add that I have noticed that the 'page tab URL' section requires a url to a particular page, whereas the 'canvas URL' needs to link to a directory. This does not seem to be documented and will also give the insecure content message in chrome and prevent the page tab app from loading
I inserted the facebook code where required and absolutely nothing happens or shows up. Using dreamweaver cs6 and in live view or when testing in ANY browser, nothing shows up. It's a blank box. ANy thoughts? I read somewhere that the website must be made into an application of facebook? Is this something?
Specifically, after activating the plugin and properly connecting the plugin to the facebook app,which does work and has been used extensively before hand, comments simply fail to load. There is no comment box, no past comments pull in either (note the app has historical comments already).
In the plugin settings area on the right side of the screen where the comments check box exists, there is a read more link that takes you to the facebook developers page where it discusses adding the facebook comments iframe.
If there is some other location where comment settings might also exist (past the three fields that require the 2 keys and the app name) I could not find them and this was not referenced in the plugin setup.
