If you have a page in Facebook about your blog and want to show the Facebook Like Box with the recent updates and fans, just activate this widget or insert this line of code anywhere in your theme:

<?php facebook_like_box('PROFILE_ID'); ?>

If you want to change updates visibility, max. number of fans, width or css properties, just do this:

<?php facebook_like_box('PROFILE_ID', 'STREAM', 'CONNECTIONS', 'WIDTH', 'HEIGHT', 'HEADER', 'LOCALE'); ?>

Where:

  • STREAM: Set to 1 to display stream stories in the Fan Box or 0 to hide stream stories. (Default value is 1.)

  • CONNECTIONS: The number of fans to display in the Fan Box. Specifying 0 hides the list of fans in the Fan Box. You cannot display more than 100 fans. (Default value is 10 connections.)

  • WIDTH: The width of the Fan Box in pixels. The Fan Box must be at least 200 pixels wide at minimum. (Default value is 300 pixels.)

  • HEIGHT: Limits the height used by the widget.

  • HEADER: Show/Hide Facebook logo bar.

  • LOCALE: Facebook Locale (en_US, es_ES...).
