Why using Get Facebook Likes?
There’re a few plugins available here, you can also found some tutorials on Google but they’re mostly using outdated Facebook API versions, some using FQL which is deprecated.
Most of them merges likes and shares into one field so you won’t know exactly how many likes or shares.
Most of them try to insert post meta each time posts load, some require you insert their snippet to your WP loop. Imagine your category have 20 posts displaying, those plugin will try to insert post meta 20 times. It’s really bad performance.
Get Facebook Likes works via ajax on the background, immediately when users Like or Share your post. It’s friendly with your website.
