I’m wondering if it is possible to synchronize the likes between the like button

  • 0

I’m wondering if it is possible to synchronize the likes between the like button on your actual page & the likes you get on facebook itself!?

For example….. we currently have 15 likes on FB but the AddThis widget on our website only shows 1 like.

So I’m wondering, is there a way you can synchronize the two either with AddThis or ShareThis; doesn’t matter the platform, just would prefer it to be synchronized.

I take it if you grab the code from facebook itself rather then use these services then it will be synchronized?

    If you specifically point your like URL fb:like:href="THE URL" to your Facebook page when you call the AddThis like button it should be in sync with the likes there.

    Like so:

    <a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:href="THE URL TO YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE"></a>

    For example:

    <a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:href="http://www.facebook.com/nike"></a>

    Because you reference FB Social Plugins in your tags, I can confirm that this is definitly the case for Facebook’s own like button.

    <div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="standard" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false" data-colorscheme="light" data-action="like" data-href="http://www.nike.com/"></div>

    gives the likes for that site. And:

    <div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="standard" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false" data-colorscheme="light" data-action="like" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/nike"></div>

    Gives the likes displaying for their FB page.
