Facebook like button: hide text

Question

I just added a Facebook like button to my website, just the most basic one, but you can't select to hide the "Sign Up to see what your friends like." text.

Because the area for the button is so small, I don't want this text, as it overlaps with other text next to it.

Is there a way to hide this part? I basically just want the like button, with the same functionality.

Answer 1

You would have probably figured it out by now but for others who haven't and reach this question, try data-layout="button_count".

You can play around here for more options: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

Answer 2

You can add layout="simple" (XFBML), or "data-layout"="simple" for HTML5 to the tag.

That'll show just a like button, with no count, faces or nonsense :)
