    Hello Angel,

    The two systems (Like Button and Like Box) are totally different things with different code and different functions.

    Like Button shares that you Like a post with your Facebook profile. The code provided by Mert is to fix the fact that the URLs are not standard.

    Like Box just pulls from your Facebook page. This URL is standard and static, it does not change. Like Box does not pull from your Facebook profile. The 404 you are seeing is not a bug or problem, it is because you are trying to use something designed to pull from a Page to pull from a profile.

    I find it really hard to understand how this could possibly be working on your Test site.. could you provide a link or even a screenshot?
