Yes, no, or maybe?

Sure :)

If you use the shortcode in the content, it will just use the space that's available. It just won't fit easily in a span12 or similar.

Marcel... more than just horizontal spacing. I am seeking a WordPress Facebook widget that uses the Bootstrap styles, buttons, fields, colors, etc of the applied Bootstrap theme. If your plugin can do this, can you give me an URL to look at?

Ah, no, that is not the case.
It will just use default styling of the theme, for example the plugin adds no styling for buttons, etc.

BTW, this plugin is a guestbook. It doesn't do anything with Facebook :).

Re: Facebook comment
Sorry my bad.
Re: your guestbook
My question remains the same. The default styling of my theme is Bootstrap. So will your frontend IU use the Bootstrap div classes? Example: form content looks like a Bootstrap form?

I went ahead and installed the plugin. It will not accept the default Bootstrap div classes. I noticed that some files can be overridden (ex: File: gwolle_gb-entry.php) with a child theme.

"If you place it in your childtheme or parenttheme, it will be overridden.”

I was wondering if the file write.php can be overridden as well? This seems to be the location of the new entry form for the guestbook and maybe modified for Bootstrap classes for the entry form.

The plugin is excellent (5 stars) but we can’t use it without adding Bootstrap CSS classes. I am hoping some day there is a Gwolle checkbox setting labeled: “Will be used with a Bootstrap theme”.

Would adding the bootstrap classes be enough? I mean, have input buttons have a '.btn' class.
I can add a todo item for that.

Marcel... I don’t if it would be enough but I would be willing to test for you. If your plugin is compatible with Bootstrap sites, many Bootstrap developers would be happy.

WordPress Calendar is a good example of a plugin that is Bootstrap compatible:
