Like Buttons can be used for Facebook Pages and external Websites, but not for single Facebook Posts.
Embedded Posts are for single Facebook Posts, and the Like Button does not work for those.

While I can't confirm this is how Facebook approaches it, the og: meta tags only appear to work for actual like buttons, not Facebook sharing buttons (which are depreciated anyway).
According to this question you can try and put in a link tag and that may work for the share button you have. Facebook Post Link Image
I have an online bachelor catalog and I want people to Like a bachelor and have it appear on their FB feed.
http://gothamrfc.org/drupal/?q=2012catalog
I set up the Like button using the Social Plugins feature on FB. All bachelors are on the same page and they have anchors http://gothamrfc.org/drupal/?q=2012catalog#waldmann and the Like button refers to each anchor.
My problem is when the user clicks on Like, it posts the same picture of one bachelor, not of the one that they liked. I didn't see anything in my js file. I also added the og button but that didn't work.
How do I adjust the code so Like button corresponds to the correct photo?
I'm sure it's something simple. Thank you for your assistance.
Im having the same issue really... My current solution is to hard-code the URL of the image in the like button ref code.
The only issue with this is that it will show that image ONLY, on a blank page when someone clicks the liked image on a user's facebook page.
I'm still looking for answers since the only alternative I've found is to create individual pages for each image (each blog post, in my case) and link to THOSE pages. Not ideal and much more work than I'd like.
have a look at my blog page on my website to see what I mean: MarinePix Blog
I want a Like button on my web site that Likes my Facebook profile (rather than my web page), so that when a user clicks it they subscribe to my Facebook posts.
I've created the Like button using the tool at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
Further down that page there is an FAQ entry:
Can I link the Like button to my Facebook page?
Yes. Simply specify the URL of your Facebook page in the href
parameter of the button.
So, I've edited the href parameter to point to my Facebook page. eg:
https://www.facebook.com/myfacebookid
When a user clicks the Like button it has the desired effect. The user ends up having Liked my Facebook page. This is easily verified by the user going to my Facebook profile and checking that the Like button has changed to Liked.
But. When the user clicks the Like button, and entry appears in their News Feed with a generic Facebook description. ie:
Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and
others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to
keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, post links
and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.
I don't want a generic post about Facebook to appear. I want the description to relate to my Facebook account and/or web site.
Normally, I could modify this behavior with the Opengraph og: description tag, but as the page in the href is a Facebook page and not my own, I can't control the Opengraph tags.
I'm pretty sure that this was working okay before I enabled timeline for my account, so maybe this is a timeline bug?
So, how do I add a Like button which a) Likes my Facebook profile rather than one of my own web pages, and b) Posts a description of my Facebook profile rather than give a generic Facbook description?
Are all your fields in the info part of your page filled in, and/or completed? I just tested your theory and it seemed to work as expected, only thing is I know all fields in "info" are filled it. Give that a try.
This may happen if you have filled invalid/incomplete/wrong og tags in past and later changed them. Facebook's cache creates problem sometime.
Try putting all the entries (i.e. all og tags) and then debug them here http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug. This debugger gives a detailed info about the url with og tags and also clears the cache for you.
This should solve the problem.
You have 3 important fields that used on page opengraph: Name,Description,Profile Image.
They are used when some one post your link on Facebook, or Google or some else web service that handle opengraph.
Actually, the suggested answers currently do not work and there is an open bug / ticket on Facebook for it. Up to now, there's no fix.
The problem is that you can not use simply https://www.facebook.com/myfacebookid. You should copy and paste the exact page URL. If you have a low number of likes it would look something like https://www.facebook.com/pages/[YourPageName]/[Your page Id]/, and this is the URL that you should use at this point.
If it does not work, try also https://www.facebook.com/[YourPageName]/[Your page Id]/.
In short, copy-paste the URL, do not type it manually.
Does Facebook have a share button similar to "Tweet". The goal is to allow users to share the content of the webpage(with the same url) multiple times to their walls. The content of the webpage changes but the url doesn't. I know tweet will work in this situation, but I couldn't find anything on Facebook social plugins that will allow me to do that. Any ideas?
Why not use the simple share or like button but use dynamic og meta tags?
I'm trying to embed the Facebook Like button on a web site. The URL of the item I am trying to allow the user to "like" is an individual Facebook post on a Page's wall.
I'm using a simple FBML implementation of the Like button like so:
<fb:like href="http://www.facebook.com/[PAGENAME]?v=wall&story_fbid=[ID OF THE POST]" layout="button_count"></fb:like>
The like button works, but when it is clicked, the user is actually liking the PAGE, not the individual post.
Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried various formats for the URL, but so far have not been able to make it work.
Thanks!
What you are trying to do is not possible. You can only 'like' things that have a unique page to display them. The url you have ?v=wall&story_fbid=[ID OF THE POST] is just a 'helper' url for facebook. It takes you to the http://www.facebook.com/[PAGENAME] url and Facebook will treat this url the same as the page.
It is a bit confusing because you could do something like you are talking about off of facebook, but the like inside of Facebook isn't really the same as what the like button's are doing. The like buttons are using the Open Graph protocol. Content on facebook.com doesn't play by the same rules.
In short, likes for "facebook generated" content inside of facebook can only be liked inside of facebook.

Very late answer, but the Graph API might help. You might be able to grab a post and like it - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/
