Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,

I’m using the social counter widget with the wordpress theme and I’ve created a Facebook app, published and enabled the app and added the app id and secret to the widget but the Facebook counter still shows 0 likes. Is there a possible fix for this? Thanks!

Hi,

It seems you have the counter hidden with css. Please remove this code from your custom css bvox: https://www.screencast.com/t/RKN5Q9VG

Hi, I’ve hidden the counter with CSS because it’s displaying an inaccurate count of 0. Thanks!

Would love to find a solution…

@ Sundial you can show the counter again as it shows the correct count now: https://www.screencast.com/t/c0uWltbm7W that is your likes number.

@ Marc_Ravaris this is where your counter takes users: https://www.screencast.com/t/J2zfyt2fO5hc. The facebook id is not valid


@Turtlechips
The plugin works if you set it up properly. There is no issue with it. Please use this guide to set it up properly https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/ and then clear all caching as it is affected by cache

Thank you!

Hi Bogdan

Thanks for getting back to me, is there a way I can send you some screen shots? I am unsure how you got to a screencast. When I click on the Fb link on the Home page of DineDrinkBellingham.com i takes you to a Fb page that says ‘This Page is Not Available” however you can see in the address bar on that page that it is puttin in two addresses: https://www.facebook.com/https://www.facebook.com/DineDrinkBellingham/ (that was copied and pasted from FB.

In the widget I am using Fb Id:

https://www.facebook.com/DineDrinkBellingham/

Fb App ID:

931064857030356

Fb Security Key:

a58886d5535fa07e232684f439c8912c

And access token:

931064857030356|rXMAGNx8GyL3rOLwrAOho82XB-g

If I’ve followed the tutorial correctly, then I have set it up correctly, but website counter is still stuck on 1, but there are 29 Likes on Fb now.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Bogdan,

Yes your screencast is correct, but as you will see, there are two Fb URLs in the address bar — it looks like:
https://www.facebook.com/https://www.facebook.com/DineDrinkBellingham/

but my Facebook Id is:

https://www.facebook.com/DineDrinkBellingham/ — if you go to that URL the Fb page works fine.

The Fb Id URL I’ve put into the widget is also:

https://www.facebook.com/DineDrinkBellingham/ (this was copied directly from the widget)

But it does not work,

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Bogdan,

Here is the code rrom the widget, for some reason the address is messed up:

<span class=”td_social_button”>Like</span>

Sorry, I guess cause this is a text editor the code didnt come through

“<div class=”td-sp td-sp-facebook”></div>
<span class=”td_social_info”>1</span>”

Hello,
You should not add the full url to your facebook page. You must only add the ID, not the URL. Your ID is DineDrinkBellingham
Simply add that to your social counter.
Thank you!

Hi Bogdan,

The id is now DineDrinkBellingham but no love. It does bring you to the correct Fb page now however. I had actually been using this in the past but changed to the full URL at the suggestion of someone in another forum. I have been attempting to get this to work for about 3 weeks now with no luck.

So I have 29 likes on Fb, but my counter still is stuck on 1.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Bogdan,

At this point I’ve reviewed the tutorials, believe I’ve installed the widget correctly, reinstalled the widget, re-created my Facebook app, have double checked to make sure the Fb app info is correct in the widget and have tried all the suggestion from you and the various forums, and this still is not working. Not sure what I could be doing wrong at this point.

Thanks,

Marc
