        Hi BobGW, In todays scenario the Facebook Like button, which recently replaced the Facebook Share button, is a great way to encourage your visitors to share content or posts they like on your website or blog with their friends. But it is seen often times that Facebook  Like Button Not Working .

        So here is how to Fix the Problem Of Like Button Sometimes we have seen that there is issue of Height in Facebook Like Button.

        I f your website is built on word press then How to Add a Custom Facebook Like Box  to your site is very easy task  & If your site is Built on Joomla then it is done with a single Button.

        I hope that your query had been solved.

            Hi Bob,

            This is interesting, the code you have there looks right and usually if you have the age set to 13+ it's not a problem. One thing, did you add the Javascript to your page? I'm assuming you used this page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ to create the box right? And selected the HTML5 option? If so, then also make sure the correct JavaScript was added right beneath the tag.

            I did a little searching as well and found this post on stackoverflow that might help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7268100/facebook-likebox-showing-fine-but-only-if-logged - although it sounds like you're doing it right.

            Hopefully this helps!

            Jen

              Hi Jen,

              Thanks for the response.

              My javascript is correct, I used HTML5, and I played with all of the 'manage permissions' settings in facebook with no luck

              Age set to 13+

              It happens with any like box I install, but I am currently using the one from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/

              Our site is nlpca(dot)com

              I've attached an image of our 'manage permission' settings

              Don't know what else to try

                I wonder if it's because it's set to only show the page to users in the United States?
