Default Facebook Icon in WordPress Code Check?
Hi everyone!!!

Can anyone take a look at this piece of code and tell me what may be wrong with it? I'm trying to link the FB icon to my fanpage, but this code just keeps sending to the main FB login page when I click on it.

I know very little HTML...and with this I was basically following a template. (i.e. I have very little idea what the code below is saying exactly) I got the Twitter one right, but not the Facebook one.

Thanks all!

Hi Again!

You know how when you are looking for that one thing that you keep looking for and as soon as you ask you find it? Well...that's happened here.

The issue was not with the code. It's just that it will take anyone to their login page and they have to login and then they are taken right to my fanpage. I wasn't logged in!

Anyone who would like to go and "like" my fanpage though...I'd love to have you!!!

Actually as long as you have your Fan page settings to public (anyone over the age of 13), then your page should be visible even when not logged in. This is one of the huge benefits of a fan page.

I would try using this link instead and see if you can get it to open to your fan page even when you are not logged in:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/On-My-...13939161978030

that "?ref=home#!" reference in the link is what's triggering having to log in to see the page so removing that from the link will make the page accessible to anyone at anytime.

Hey Kimberly...Thanks! I thought that too...and darn...when I went to re-post in this to say I thought I got it, I meant to copy the code I'd corrected where I'd removed that. Actually, and maybe I'm dealing with a cookie issue, but when I removed that it hadn't changed anything...but changing my settings in FB did!!!

Thanks!!!!!
