Hi,

For everybody experiencing problems with the Facebook widget, here is a brief explanation of the situation.

In order to have a styled widget, Shoppica have used an old version of the Facebook Like Box – the Facebook Fanbox code. This old version allowed external styles to be applied to the widget elements.

Unfortunately, everything ended a few weeks ago. Facebook started to serve their new code that doesn’t allow external resources to be loaded and that is why the like box lost its “sexy look”. A little bit after this dramatic change (1-2 weeks), the old code and styling started to work again. This time however, the like button and the whole interactivity of the widget didn’t seem to work.

That is why we decided to add an option to choose between the two widget styles: fanbox (with Shoppica styling in case it works in the future) and likebox (default Facebook widget style).

IMPORTANT
Before uploading the files from the patch, be sure to compare the included screen.css.php with yours, in case you have made any modifications.

Best,
