How to remove the "Be the first of your friends to like this" part of the standard iframe Facebook Like button?

Question

I'm using the standard Facebook Like button (iframe, not fbml). Is there a way to only display the like button, not the 'Be the first of your friends to like this' part?

Solution 1

This is currently not configurable. If you use the button_count layout, then you won't see that text.

Solution 2

As of today's date, in the Like Box code, instead of layout=standard use layout=button_count and that will show the count bubble & remove that text.

Solution 3

You can simply do this using CSS. Place the like button inside a div. Give the div containing the like button some width. Then set overflow to hidden. Should work!

Solution 4

If you want to just have "x people like this" then:

.fb-like { overflow: hidden; width: 171px; }

If you want to have just the number of people that like it in a box then with the Like Button Generator select button_count from the Layout Style drop down.
