This allows you to create a fan page like button that has none of the fancy stuff normally that exists: stream, profile thumbnail, name. Button only. Enables widget & shortcodes to make the task easier.

Want to boost your Facebook fan page subscription rate? This plugin makes what should be an easy task, but isn't, an easy one. It enables you to use a shortcode to place a small like button where ever you like without the clutter: stream, faces, count, and all of the other junk that comes with the "fan page like box" ordinarily. Basically, it generates a fan page subscription button that looks *identical* to the one ordinarily only for *sharing* a page (as opposed to actually subscribing to the page).

= Features =

* Create a like button that resembles the one that normally *shares* the current page (*as opposed to subscribing to fan page*).
* Put the like button where ever you  want using the [facebooksimplelike] short code, or an easy-to-use sidebar or footer theme widget.
* Add the like button to the top or bottom (or both!) of all of your posts and pages with the click of a checkbox on the settings page.
* Create like buttons for as many different fan page destinations as you like. 

== Screenshots ==

1. The Facebook fan page like button with the default white (#FFFFFF) iframe background, contrasting with the ordinary look of the Facebook "like box."
2. The settings/configuration page for Facebook Simple Like.
3. The profile pictures section of your facebook fan page, which is where you find the requisite "profile id" of your fan page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What are the requirements for this plugin? =

A recent version of WordPress. The plugin doesn't do anything too fancy, so it probably runs on older versions too.

Absolutely! I'm a Zend Certified PHP 5.3 engineer, and can customize or create WordPress plugins and themes. Visit http://www.mdpatrick.com or email me (see support, below) for more details.

Yes, you can edit the facebook-simple-like.css file, but pay attention to the comments found within. The border color, however, can be and should be modified from the Settings page of the plugin.
