Like Button for the Web

Changes to Social Plugins in the European Region

You may start to see some impact to Social Plugins due to an updated cookies consent prompt that will be shown to people using Facebook products in the European Region. We will no longer support the 'Like' and 'Comment' Social Plugins for European Region users, unless they are both 1) Logged into their Facebook account, and 2) have provided consent to the “App and Website Cookies” control. If both of these requirements are met, the user will be able to see and interact with plugins such as the 'Like' or 'Comment' button. If either of the requirements above are not met, the user will not be able to see the plugins.

Like Button HTML5 Attributes

HTML5 Attribute	Description
`data-action`	The verb to display on the button. Can be either `like` (default) or `recommend`.
`data-colorscheme`	The color scheme used by the plugin for any text outside of the button itself. Can be `light` (default) or `dark`.
`data-href`	The URL of the webpage that will be liked.
`data-kid-directed-site`	If your website or online service, or a portion of your service, is directed to children under 13 you must set this to `true`. Default is `false`.
`data-layout`	Selects one of the different layouts that are available for the plugin. Can be one of `standard` (default), `button_count`, `button` or `box_count`. See the FAQ for more details.
`data-lazy`	`true` means use the browser's lazy-loading mechanism by setting the `loading="lazy"` iframe attribute. The effect is that the browser does not render the plugin if it's not close to the viewport and might never be seen. Can be one of `true` or `false` (default).
`data-ref`	A label for tracking referrals which must be less than 50 characters and can contain alphanumeric characters and some punctuation (currently +/=-.:_). See the FAQ for more details.
`data-share`	Specifies whether to include a share button beside the Like button, `true` or `false` (default). This only works with the XFBML version.
`data-size`	The button is offered in 2 sizes i.e. `large` and `small` (default).
`data-width`	The width of the plugin (standard layout only), which is subject to the minimum and default width. Please see the Layout Settings table for more details.

Change the Language

You can change the language of the Like Button by loading a localized version of the Facebook JavaScript SDK. Replace en_US with your locale, for example, fr_FR for French (France).

js.src = "https://connect.facebook.net/fr_FR/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version={graph-api-version} />";

The width of a Social Plugin may need to be adjusted to accommodate different languages.
