Facebook like button not showing up in webpage I'm developing? - LadyWhite - 06-01-2014 10:38 PM

I'm designing a web page and it's been a while since I had to integrate any Facebook plug-ins. I'm trying to throw a generic like button in (pointing to facebook.com/platform) so that I can finish styling the page around it but it's not showing up.

I'm taking the code directly from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ but there is nothing showing up. To test it I've pretty much stripped the page bare except for the code from Facebook. It renders the page blank (with a few complaints about Facebook's CSS).

I'm working in Notepad++ with "Launch in Firefox" (IE does the same). Is it because it's local? If I sent it to my Web Server would it work?

I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious..................... Any ideas?

I can't help - I'm having the same problem - I'm using the code from the Facebook Developer site and it's showing a blank space where the button should go - I've changed the overflow to visible or auto, but neither allow it to be seen, and I've tried it in multiple places on my web page. Please, if you get a solution, can you post it? I'll do the same if something works, later for me.

UPDATE - It works in Safari, but not Chrome. Have you looked at your site in other browsers?
