I'm using the Facebook comment embed plugin to let users comment on my page, but I really hate the 'also post on Facebook' radio button. I don't want users to post it on Facebook because it links back to my webpage.
You see, my page lives as a web view on a native mobile app, so the URL with the web view isn't really set up to be visited outside the app.
I checked the docs for a way to disable the 'also post on Facebook' button, but no luck. The plugin creates an iframe, so I can't just hide it with CSS.
I'm wondering if anyone's found more advanced settings for the plugin, or maybe even a hack for hiding that option inside an external iframe.
Thanks!

I want to add a facebook like button for my facebook page on my website, but I cannot do it because the fb like button does not show up.
When I go to the like button configurator https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button#configurator , and enter the url of my fb page in the 'URL to like', the like button does not show up. Even if I copy & paste the code generated from the like button configurator to my website, the like button does not show up on my website.
But if I enter a different facebook page in the 'URL to like', the like button shows up and everything works as expected.
I noticed this issue about 10 days ago.
Before that, there were no issues and the like button for my fb page was visible on my website and also in the like button configurator https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button#configurator.
I contacted facebook about this issue many time but they don't answer.
Why is my like button not visible anymore?
We had the same issue today. We recognized that the og:url didn´t match the data-href of the like button and so the button wasn´t shown at all (even though it was rendered) - This is also mentioned in the official documentation.
Maybe this helps someone else.
I'm currently investigating the capabilities of Facebook API, like/share/comment of public posts from a public pages, for a client. I also noticed this problem. I think that this is related to a fact that Facebook removed the option to like page posts without the page access token that must be granted to your app by a page owner. If you try to do it from the Facebook API you will get the following error:
"(#3) Publishing comments through the API is only available for page access tokens"
I was able to get like button for my page itself, but as soon as I enter the url to some of the page's posts, the button disappears. You shouldn't suppose to have problem with the share button, but if you try to use an integrated version of like+share button, if the like doesn't work, you will lose the share button too.
Here is (only) the share button Configurator:

I am having issues integrating Facebook buttons on my site. I have created a FB app to use with the integration - my like button (see http://soundsviral.com/2014/02/13/tennis-court-by-lorde-45/) is working just like I want it to. However, the share button next to it returns a story like you see above. The real disconcerting piece is that the link for the "Sounds Viral" name (which is the name of the app here, not the site) links to the app itself, which I don't want users to visit at all.) How can I change this URL to be my homepage (or the link in the post below, if that's preferable?)
I also which I could change "link" here to be "song", which is a supported og:type and is in use for my "like" button. However, for the "share" button, it just says "link". But that's less important to me than the actual URL in the story.
Thanks for any ideas!
The solution is to set your facebook app to be a website app that directs facebook users to your website.
To do this:
go to you app page
go to Settings
click Add Platform button
Select Website option
Enter URL of your website and save
I have a wordpress site which is meant to use via Facebook page tab. I have made a page tab and added an iframe tag which opens the site into the page tab. I have added a Facebook plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/) to publish new posts to my page's wall to get more traffic to the site. All this works perfectly.
My problem is the following:
The plugin publishes a link to e.g. www.mysite.com/fb/new-event/. The site is meant to use only via the page tab, not at that domain. The link should be customized to open the page in the Facebook page tab via iframe.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this or how to achieve the solution another way?
I think that it can be done by customizing the link to point first at the right Facebook page tab and then inside the iframe to the correct page.
I've had this like button/box setup for this specific page for some time. But now it;s stopped working:
Using code generated (for iframe) on this page:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
to display this fb page:
http://www.facebook.com/JohnPurkiss
does not display/work. If I amend the like button url in the iframe to another fb page, it does work. I'm not tryinig to use a button/plugin that requires an app. Just a plain 'ol simple button. But it appears to me there is an issue with this specific fb page (johnpurkiss one above)
Any advice/help greatly appreciated.
The problem here is that the "page" you linked to is in actual fact a personal user.
You can not "like" a user in the same way that
you can not add a page as a friend...
or "poke" an event...
or subscribe to a photo...
You'll gave to provide an actual page to be liked.
As you can see from the screenshot below taken from the link you provided, there is no like button to be found.
Only an "Add Friend" and "Subscribe" button. I'm not sure if converting your profile into a page is the way you want to go, but it is possible. You can learn how at this link.
I'm new to facebook app development and i cant seem to figure this out. I have a simple app i made (an iframe website) that i want to add to a tab on my facebook page. When i try to click on the + tab to add it to my page i only have a few options of youtube, events, fbml... When i do a search absolutely nothing comes up unless i search for those items i just mentioned before (youtube, events, fbml).
Type this into your browser's url bar with the appropiate ids. (I already assume you have configured the app settings for page tab urls,etc).
