Wix Editor: Adding and Setting Up a Facebook Page Like Box
Updated: 6 days ago
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.
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. Open your Facebook business page and copy the page ID from the URL in the address bar.
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.
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:
Click Add Elements
on the left side of the editor.
Click Social.
Click Facebook.
Click or drag the Facebook Like element (News Feed or Mini) to add it to your page.
Step 3 | Set up your Facebook Page Like box
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:
Click the Facebook Page Like box.
Click Add Page Name.
Enter your Facebook page ID.
Step 4 | Customize the Facebook Page Like box
By clicking the Layouts

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more.
Do site visitors need a Facebook account to use the Facebook Like box?
Yes, visitors must be logged in to Facebook to like or follow your Facebook page using this element. If they are not logged in, the Like button will not be functional for them.
What happens when someone likes my page with the Facebook Like box?
When a visitor clicks the Like button, they are liking your Facebook page itself—not your Wix site.
Can I use the Facebook Like box for a Facebook group?
No, this element only supports Facebook pages, such as those for businesses, public figures, or brands. It does not work with Facebook groups. If you enter a Facebook group link, the Like box will not display properly.
Why isn't my news feed updating on the Facebook Like box?
Your posts on Facebook should be public in order for visitors to view them through the Like box. Check that the privacy setting on your posts is not set to private / restricted.
