You probably have seen the popular tweetmeme retweet button on many blogs. This is the similar button except, this is for facebook. It keeps an active count of how many times the page has been shared, so it can be used as a substitute to the hack shared on the top.

You will need to add the following code in your single.php and/or page.php

1	<script src="http://widgets.fbshare.me/files/fbshare.js"></script>

The code above will show a large facebook sharer button with the count. But if you want to display a smaller button, then you will need to paste the following code:

1	<script>var fbShare = {

2	url: 'http://www.wpbeginner.com',

3	size: 'small',

4	google_analytics: 'true'

5	}</script>

6	<script src="http://widgets.fbshare.me/files/fbshare.js"></script>

This will show a small tweetmeme like button that we have on our post page next to the Related articles at the end of each post.
