If you are like the millions of Facebook users out there you are familiar with the “like” button. You can now have the plugin for your WordPress blog as well!
Today Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook announced his intention to take over the internet… Well at least make it more social at the F8 conference. Not only can you now share and embed videos in your personal profile you can now tell the world you “like” stuff. I have a feeling this will spread pretty fast.
You can see the plugin installed and in action below. It was very easy to install and worked as soon as I activated it. Here is what the options menu looks like.
The height and width options change the containing box the button is in. What I found was there is not enough of a margin / padding between the button and the end of your post. Changing the height only made the bottom of the containing box grow leaving a huge gap between the button and the end of the post.
The alignment options only help within the size you have defined. Adding the padding was not too difficult , just open up the wp_fp_like_button.php file scroll down to line 133 or so and
“padding-top:30px;”
to the style sheet output so it will give some room between my sexy social plugin and the like button. This plugin is great other than this. The button alignment options are a bit misleading unless you know how to interpret the output, a novice may get frustrated that the alignment options are relative to its containing size and not the blog post width.
I may write my own to suit my needs. But this is really the only issue I had. Otherwise this is a great plugin!
