Help! I spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to figure this out:

I have my main/personal profile under my own name on Facebook. I also have three separate "pages" for three different businesses I run connected to that profile.

My dilemma: I want to create a different social plugin for each of my "pages." The only social plugin it will let me create is for my main/personal profile.:confused:

Does anyone know how to create three different social plugins without it trying to create one for the personal profile? I want one for business one, one for business two and one for business three in order to direct traffic back to each of the three different businesses.:rolleyes:

Help! (and Thanks!)

  • Hi Dianne

    Are you trying to create a Like Box for example to add to a website?

    If that's the case, this lets you choose the URL of the FB Page you want the Box to lead back to when you're setting it up so you just type in your particular Page URL each time.

    By default it has this in the box "http://www.facebook.com/platform" so just substitute your FB Page URL instead.

    Hope I'm not missing something here and this is what you're trying to achieve - otherwise sorry and hopefully somebody else will come along and help you.

    All the best

    • Well, yes and no....I ran across the Like Box in the Social Plugins where I believe you can change out the URL. I was trying to add a LiveStream or Activity Feed Box. Maybe that is not possible. It always tells me I have to "switch back to my main DianneHumphries profile to use this social plugin." I think the Platform box just takes you back to the main Facebook sign-in page?

    • I have done that. That is what I am saying. It will only let me make a plugin for my personal page...not the other pages.

      I don't see Settings then resources. Sorry.

      Make a URL of every page? How do you do that?

  • Thanks to everyone but I found the answer here:
    Facebook Badges | Facebook

    If you are on your page that you want to advertise on your website and type that in along with:page.php it should bring up the choices for your badge.

    I don't know how I came across it but there it was after I clicked around a couple of times. I would know more about how I got there if I hadn't spent the last couple of days clicking on everything in Facebook trying to figure this out.

    Don't take my word for it, though, because it seems like every time I try to do something in Facebook, I can never duplicate the last process. I think FB does this to keep you confused. LOL

    • How do I get a Page Badge? How can I promote my Page to my fans off of Facebook?



      The "Find Us on Facebook" badge provides your business a way to promote your Page off of our website, and help direct your customers to your presence on Facebook. This Badge can be applied in-store or on location, on the web, and in print collateral. You can learn how to create a badge for your Page from the "Promotion Guidelines" link, in the "Promote your page" section when you are editing your Page, or by clicking here.

      When you click the "here" link, it takes you to the page I mentioned in my last post.

      Hope this helps anyone who wants to add a facebook badge on one of their other pages.
