Common questions about BestWebSoft's Like & Share – Posts, Pages and Widget Social Extension plugin for WordPress

In WordPress admin panel, please go to Like & Share settings page and choose one of the listed positions: Before content or After content. Then click "Save Changes". After clicking Like & Share icon, I see the Facebook Home page instead of the necessary account page In WordPress admin panel, please go to Like & Share settings page and enter your Facebook ID or username. Then click "Save Changes". If you do not have the Facebook account yet, you should create it here. After the account is created, please follow the instructions above.

No, it will not. The case is: Like for a WordPress site is a Like of a certain URL, but not the page content, while on Facebook it's Like of the content, not the URL. I.e. these are two different things, and it is impossible to link them. For more data on the Like button, please check the developers' page (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button).

You will not lose them because they are stored on the Facebook server.
