Facebook has quietly announced it’s retiring its old embeddable Like Box on June 23.

Facebook Like Box Death
The Like Box is variant of the embeddable Like Button that allows you to Like a page from other sites. The embed would also show off some of the other people who liked a given Page.

The company recommends you instead use the newer Page Plugin, which functions similarly, but looks a little cleaner and is able to pull in content feeds from your Facebook Page if you want.

Keep in mind that you’ll have to add in the newest Graph API and remove the old code to enable the newer plugin.
