Facebook Like button released on Apr. 21st 2010. Facebook’s social plugins were integrated into more than milions of websites.
This number will increaze by the time.
If you want to add the facebook like button in your wordpress website, I recomend not to use any plugin because that will be very easy without adding any plugin.
Just open your theme folder and in that you will find the single.php and index.php file. Open that files and put following code in that file.
Befor following title line you can put the code. Like as follows:
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); ?>&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:30px"></iframe>
Following are the custom setting for changing the facebook like UI. You change that as per your requirment.
if you like to show the faces of your friends, change the part “show_faces=false” to “show_faces=true”
If you like to show the label of the button as “Recommend“, change the part of the code “action=like” to “action=recommend”
I hope this will help you to implement the “Like” button on your WordPress Posts! Have fun and drop me a line at twitter or you can click on the “Like” button on the top of this post
