    Having followed the installation and activation instructions faithfully, after all they are not complex, I can get a box to display on the blog, but it contains the message “There was an error fetching the like box for the specified page” What am I doing wrong?

    Where the set-up asks for the Facebook website address I enter “http://www.facebook.com/Bimbling”

    I have a black background on my webpage……..the “light” color scheme is not quite light enough, how can I change the color of “1,042 like this” to more of a white color or much lighter grey? thank you for any help, DINO

      Unfortunately there are only two color schemes that provided by facebook: light and dark. You can’t change the colors.

      I’m afraid you cannot control the presentation of the Like Box, because it is an iframe. It’s a completely different HTML document, so your CSS rules will have no effect on it.
      Changing CSS was possible with Facebook Fan Box (replaced with Like Box for over two years ago), so you can use this plugin that still use Fan Box.

      Hi Tom, I think this problem is on the Facebook side. But I am sure that you will have a lot more likes on your page in nearest feature and that problem will disappear.

      Hi, please add the line of code below to your theme css file (in most cases this is ‘style.css’)

      .fb-like-box { background: #fff; }

      I believe this problem is on Facebook side, not plugin. Can you give me the address of your page? Maybe it will be clear for me when I see it.

      Thanks.
