Hi There,

Thank you for writing in, the facebook widget provided you two sets of codes right? The first block is a JavaScript SDK which needs to be put as close as possible on the <body> tag.

To do this first navigate to this directory:
x/framework/legacy/cranium/headers/views/global/ and copy the file _header.php

Then on your child theme navigate to this directory:
x-child/framework/legacy/cranium/headers/views/global/
If this directory does not exist, create it. Then there paste the _header.php file that you just copied.

Then open and edit the copied _header.php file, put the FB JavaScript SDK code just below the line:

<body <?php body_class(); ?>>

After that you can place the second code (actual widget code) wherever you want the like button to appear on your page.

Hope it helps,
Cheers!

Hi There,

Yup, that is not going to work if you have a custom header, please add the custom function below on your child theme’s functions.php file instead.

/**
FB JavaScript SDK code
*/
add_action('x_before_site_begin','fb_javaScript_sdk');
function fb_javaScript_sdk () { ?>

<!-- Replace this line with your FB JavaScript SDK code -->

<?php }

Remember to clear all caches before previewing your page, you can check your page if the FB JavaScript SDK code is successfully added by viewing the page source (ctrl+U / Command+Option+U) on your page, if you see the code near the <body> tag then you know you successfully added the code.

Provide us credentials in secure note if this does not work still.

Thanks,
