Facebook Counter

[jamestux]

Hi Ed,
I have an issue where the Facebook counter in the subscriber widget seems to have caught a URL somewhere and I can’t change it (I can remove it altogether but I want to show the subscribers)

The site is http://www.outdoorsphotography.co.uk and the facebook id is 270411746423964

However the error message I get (no matter what is typed in the box in the widget) is

601 Parser error: unexpected ‘:’ at position 46. method facebook.fql.query query SELECT fan_count FROM page WHERE page_id=https://www.facebook.com/UKoutdoorsphotography?ref=hl

I’ve deleted it altogether as this looks awful – any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks,

Ja1mes

This is how to get the correct ID – http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/how-tos/how-to-get-my-facebook-page-id.html

Once you’ve corrected it, give it a few hours to update.

Thanks Ed,

I think that I had the correct ID – it was just using the incorrect one that I entered first (when I first set the site up) for some reason.

I’ll try it tonight and check in the morning.

Thanks,

James

Actually, no need to wait – it’s working fine now – sorry for the hassle Ed

Just so that everyone can see…

You’ve been brilliant when I’ve been stuck so far, thank you for your help – it’s a great theme with great support!
