Making Content Visible to Some Users in Profile Boxes
Problem
I’d really like to make some of the content in my Profile Boxes visible to only a select group of users.
Solution
The fb:visible
family of tags
will do exactly what you’re looking for. Think of them as the big,
burly bouncers who stand inside the velvet rope and won’t let you into
the club unless you’re on the magic list. In this case, their

fb:visible-to-owner

fb:visible-to-user
Content that is visible only to the specified users. Include a
uid
parameter containing one or more comma-separated Facebookuid
s to control who can see it.fb:visible-to-app-users
Content that is visible only to users who have also added the app and have agreed to the Terms of Service and been granted full permission.
fb:visible-to-connection
Content that is visible only to friends of the user who owns the Profile, or fans of the Page if used on a Page. Note that this effectively replaces
fb:visible-to-friends
, which worked only on user Profiles.fb:18-plus
Content that is visible only to users who are 18 years old or older. Unlike the rest of the visible tags, this one and the
fb:21-plus
tag can both contain anfb:else
tag (which displays alternate content) and can be used on Canvas pages.fb:21-plus
Content that is visible only to users who are 21 years old or older. As per the previous tag, this can contain an
fb:else
tag to display alternate content ...
