Not sure if this is a bug, or if how it used to work was the bug. But just a heads up in case the change was unintentional. Recently (last day) the behavior of the "Show recommendations" parameter changed.

Steps to Reproduce:

Only code difference is the 'recommendations' parameter had to be changed from 'false' to 'true' to maintain expected behavior.

iframe code used on LivingtheCountryLife.com before today:
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/activity.php?site=www.livingthecountrylife.com&app_id=364830547392&action&width=300&height=325&header=false&colorscheme=light&linktarget=_blank&border_color&font&recommendations=false" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:300px; height:325px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

iframe code after today:
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/activity.php?site=www.livingthecountrylife.com&app_id=364830547392&action&width=300&height=325&header=false&colorscheme=light&linktarget=_blank&border_color&font&recommendations=true" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:300px; height:325px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Expected Behavior:

Before today, the feed would show:
1) If logged in to Facebook, you would see friends recommendations, then if there was space leftover you'd see general recommendations made by anyone.
2) If logged out of Facebook, you would see general recommendations made by anyone.

Actual Behavior:

As of today, the feed would show:
1) If logged in to Facebook, you would see any friends recommendations, but no general recommendations.
2) If logged out of Facebook, you would see no recommendations and just the message: "No recent activity to display. Put some Like buttons on your website to engage your users. Details can be found here."
