With the Facebook keynote over developers can start to put the new API to the test and start developing new plugins with Facebook functionality for the web.
Mark Zuckerberg founder and CEO of Facebook also introduced a new way of liking content on the web and sharing it with your Facebook friends. The new Like system allows you to put a like button on posts and enable users to share content with their friends without leaving your website.
This is where I thought I’d give it a shot and do a quick WordPress plugin to add a Like Button to posts.
To test it out simply download Facebook Like Posts WordPress plugin and add the code bellow to your single php file in your WordPress theme where you’d like your Like Button to display.
<?php display_facebook_like_button(); ?>
This is just a experimental plugin, you can place it in single posts or on your posts on the home page of your site.
Here’s the Facebook Like button plugin available from WordPress:

No coding necessary, you can customize the look and placement of the button in the settings interface
Nice plugin, but doesn’t look like you have control over where to place the button.
Thanks it works great. Is there any way to know who is clicking on the like button for specific posts?
Hi Raize, glad it is working. You can use the Activity plugin from Facebook and just enter your domain to see the results http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/activity Hope that helps.
