Here's how to add a Facebook Like button to your website:

Add Facebook Like Button to Your Site

  1. If using version 7.0, disable the existing Facebook share button in your share buttons panel
  2. Generate custom code using Facebook's Like button configurator
  3. Copy the Javascript SDK code
  4. Paste the SDK code into your site's Header field via Code Injection
  5. Copy the Facebook Like button code from the configurator
  6. Add a Code Block where you want the button to appear
  7. Paste the Like button code into the Code Block

Add Blog Post-Specific Like Buttons

  1. Open your blog's page settings
  2. Navigate to the Advanced tab
  3. Paste the Like button code in the Code Injection field
  4. Replace your site URL with {permalink}
  5. Save changes

The Like button will now appear after each blog post's content, allowing visitors to like specific posts rather than your entire site.

Important Notes:

  • The embed code may be temporarily disabled while logged in
  • View the page in private/incognito mode if the code isn't visible
  • Like buttons are not natively supported in Version 7.1
  • Custom code functionality may change with platform updates

Best Practices:

  • Test the buttons across different devices and browsers
  • Ensure the button placement doesn't interfere with other page elements
  • Regularly check that the buttons are functioning correctly
  • Monitor engagement metrics to optimize button placement

Remember that code-based customizations require ongoing maintenance and may need adjustments after platform updates.
