Wix Editor: Adding and Setting Up a Facebook Page Like Box

3 min read
Boost visitor traffic to your Facebook page by adding a Facebook Page Like box. By liking your page, visitors endorse your content and promote it to their Facebook friends. 
Notes:
  • Your visitors must be logged in to Facebook to be able to like your page. 
  • When a visitor clicks the like button in your Facebook Page Like box, they are liking your Facebook page, not your site.

Step 1 | Retrieve your Facebook page ID

To connect the Like box to your Facebook page, you will need to retrieve the page ID from your Facebook account. 
Your page ID depends on the URL structure. 
  • If the URL contains a string of numbers, that's your page ID.
  • If the URL contains no numbers, the page ID is simply the page name as shown in the URL.

To retrieve your Facebook page ID:

  1. Open your Facebook business page.
  2. Copy the page ID from the URL in the address bar.
Important:
In order to set up the Facebook Like box, you need to disable your page's privacy settings from your Facebook account. You can do this by changing Country Restrictions and Age Restrictions to Page is visible to everyone.

Step 2 | Add a Facebook Page Like box

By adding a Facebook Like box to your site, you're giving visitors the option to interact with your Facebook Business page. This further promotes your brand and expands your online presence.

To add a Facebook Page Like box:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click Add Elements  on the left side of the editor.
  3. Click Social.
  4. Click Facebook.
  5. Click or drag the Facebook Like element (News Feed or Mini) to add it to your page.

After adding the Like box, set it up by simply entering the page ID you copied previously.

To set up your Facebook Page Like box:

  1. Click the Facebook Page Like box.
  2. Click Add Page Name.
  3. Enter your Facebook page ID.

Step 4 | Customize the Facebook Page Like box

By clicking the Layouts  icon on your Like box, you can choose what information is displayed. Click the toggles to enable or disable the following options:
  • Show profile pics:  Display the profile pictures of Facebook users who have liked your page. 
  • Show news feed: Display your page's latest posts.
  • Show header: Display your Facebook page's cover photo.
