The Source tab allows you to set the page you need your visitors to like. You can either select Current page, and the likes will be allotted to the page the button’s installed on, or you can set a custom URL for another page. This is also the tab where you can choose the action to be performed by the button – Like or Recommend. Choose it from the dropdown menu in Type field. On the Layout tab you can set the plugin’s width in pixels. Also, that is where you can choose one of the four predefined layout types. Select the one you need from the dropdown list in Layout field. On this tab you can also choose the plugin's size (large or small), turn it on/off on mobile devices and decide whether or not you want to display the names of people who've liked a post.
