facebook page plugin not working properly

Question

I need a embedded facebook page plugin. But the code generator of facebook doesn't work. When i give the url of the facebook page, the generator doens't give the code for this page.

Also doesn't appear the page in the preview modus.

The facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/Tapas.Enschede/

The code generator is on this page. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin/

For other facebookpages the code generator works perfect. I have no idea what the problem is.

I really appreciate any help.

what kind of restrictions are on the page? I couldn't view it myself and if you're also restricted you can't view it. – Aeronaut

Answer 1

I had the same issue today.

Check to see if:

1. Your page is unpublished.
2. You have Age Restriction (which was my issue) activated. Any age restriction above 13+ will cause the page plugin to not work.
3. You have Country Restrictions activated.

Any of the above will cause the page plugin not to display.

You can find these settings in the General tab in your page settings.

Today (2021), there's an additional condition : you must be connected to facebook. – Lib

To find the Country and Age restrictions in 2023, look under Settings > Privacy > Public Posts – Tailwind

Answer 2

use data-show-posts="true" instead of data-tabs="timeline"

Answer 3

 In my case,I remove the heading (h4) from the class="fb-page".Working now.

Old Code

<div class="fb-page" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/PageTest/"
                         data-tabs="timeline" data-small-header="false"
                         data-adapt-container-width="true"
                         data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="true">

                        <h4 class="center">Follow Us On Facebook</h4>


                        <blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/PageTest/" class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a
                                href="https://www.facebook.com/PageTest/">Testing.</a></blockquote>


                    </div>

New Code

<div class="fb-page" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/PageTest/"
                             data-tabs="timeline" data-small-header="false"
                             data-adapt-container-width="true"
                             data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="true">



                            <blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/PageTest/" class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a
                                    href="https://www.facebook.com/PageTest/">Testing.</a></blockquote>


                        </div>

Answer 4

I found it was due to some stale Facebook Cookies on my browser. Deleted the Facebook Cookies, refreshed and all worked great then

Until you log back into Facebook on Chrome browser, which puts the cookies back and the problem comes back. – Tailwind

Answer 5

Was getting the same issue - got it to work by changing the code from data-tabs="timeline" to data-show-posts="true"

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script async defer crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v16.0" nonce="FxrxkDNL"></script>
<div class="fb-page" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=XXXXXXX" data-show-posts="true" data-width="800px" data-height="1000px" data-small-header="true" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="true"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=XXXXXXX" class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=XXXXXXX">FB page</a></blockquote></div>
