Why does my facebook URL always doing Error: not a valid facebook URL
-
Why does my facebook URL is always displaying Error: not a valid facebook URL It is to get a like page in my sidebar. I’ve tried several time and keep getting the error note.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I had the same problem, and finally solved it. The link has to look like this:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/page-name/775687499109506.So you take your Facebook Web address (found at the top when you’re on your page), add the word pages and then the number. The long number is found under the About tab on your page and it is called the Facebook Page ID.

Hi I have tried a variation of this. I’ll give you some example
https://www.facebook.com/pages/page-name/100009022068796
https://www.facebook.com/SeeingtheWhisper/pages/page-name/100009022068796
I thinnk this is the variations I have tried and did not get any results. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Try: https://www.facebook.com/pages/SeeingtheWhisper/100009022068796.
Make sure that SeeingtheWhisper is how your page name appears in FB. I’ve looked for your FB page and I didn’t find it. Hope this helps.

It appears in the URL when I open the my facebook up clicking on my name. What is weird I was playing around with the variations of names and the long number on my email and save it. The variations were highlighted in blue I clicked on some of them and two lead me back to my facebook page but when I put it in the facebook plugin on wordpress it didn’t work at all. I”m going to try your link above this comment and see what it does.

Are you pulling my leg? I clicked on the link you provided with the number and it took me to Clyde Jones.

Sorry I forgot to change the last four numbers as I didn’t know where that link would take you to. I changed it out of fear I did not want it to take somebody behind the scenes so to speak to have access to my personal data. There are not spiritkeepers on my profile or address it is the SeeingtheWhisper now as I changed it. Would that make a difference. I know a few people are experiencing the same thing. The number is https://www.facebook.com/SeeingtheWhisper/pages/page-name/100009022062031

It should be: https://www.facebook.com/pages/SeeingtheWhisper/100009022062031.
I tried it and it works. Now try it on your wordpress site.
-
Yes I know it works in an email or on this forum. It takes you back to my website as I posted this in a previous email, however, when I put the URL in the widget facebook plugin it rejects it by delivering the message…..Error: Not a valid Facebook Page url. I tried this with a various URL and it is the same thing.

I did a test, and then I looked again on FB. What you are trying to show is not a page. It is your personal profile. I think that’s the problem. A page doesn’t have friend requests, it has Likes. You may have to ask Support about the best way to show your FB personal profile on your site. I don’t remember if it’s possible or not.

The way around this and I found out from other people is to create a page on facebook and that URL will work on wordpress site.
-
Yes, I think the page solution is the best. Glad the problem is resolved. In the new URL you have to make sure you have /pages/ and the page number or it will not work. See the format from my first comment on Nov 11, 2015

/pages/ and the page I did not use this only the URL in the browser and it worked fine. It is now up on my site. Thanks for your help again
