I have been adding facebook like button code on all the pages of my website www.fitgunler.com since a year. For the last 2 weeks, I cannot seem to get a code for the like button. As I have always done before, I go to the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button/ page, enter my URL and click get code. However first "Not logged in, please log in to continue" box appears, then I click log in (by the way I am already logged in on another tab while I am doing this) and then it goes to the same initial page, I enter the URL and click get code and again the same login box appears.
I cannot reproduce your problem. Are you sure you're logged in? Can you see your facebook-profile at the top of that page to generate the code? It seems that your session cannot be created.
You should not be logged in on another tab to be sure that facebook does not confuse with two logins.

When I visit this page (Facebook Like Button official page) in my Facebook browser, the like button is working very gracefully.
It works this way:
1 - Click the "like"
2 - There will be a sparkle animation showing
3 - Then the like action is done
However, when I put the same code in a page of mine, still in Facebook internal browser, after clicking the like button, there's no animation and I am redirected to a new page, in which I'm asked to confirm the like action.
Here is the screenshot of the new confirm box
Is there a way to let the user like my page directly without this "Do you want to like this page" confirm box? I want this feature because people are taking actions on my page and if they are directed to another page, the status of that page is gone.
Thanks for any kind of tips!
Please help.
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:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button
I have a like/send button that I've set up on a customer's home page. I have it pointed at their facebook profile page so that when people like them either from facebook or on their homepage, it's always liking the same thing.
Anyway, I've used the fb social plugins page to create the fbxml, and I'm having a problem with the send button. The like button works wonderfully, but the send button doesn't want to cooperate.
First, I had the button set up using "http://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA" as the link to like/send. However, with the button(s) configured that way, when you click on Send you get an error message that says "The page at ttp://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA could not be reached because the server returned status code 200."
So I did some digging on the 'net, and found some info that seemed to indicate that maybe the send button didn't like the alias / page name. I tried putting in the page id instead, and when I do that I get a different error: "The page at ttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=165721903513327 could not be reached."
(I removed the h in the front of the links in those messages because the board was complaining about too many links. But the actual error message has the http in full :) )
The link works either way if you c/p into your browser, and also works fine with the like button. It would appear that the send button has some issues? Maybe needs to handle redirects instead of returning a 200 OK message.... ?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If you want to see the like/send button in action, this is the website it's set up on: http://www.coolersecurityadvisors.com
thx!
After checking the buttons on the upper right, I found an issue. It seems like you can not Like/Send URL's of real Facebook Pages using the Like/Send button. Facebooks URL debugger always comes up with the error "Facebook can not crawl itself".
If you just want that people share a link to your Facebook Page, simply create a file on your server, implement the OpenGraph Tags you want to show up on Facebook (title, image, etc.) and output this in case the Facebook crawler is visiting this site, if it's not the Facebook crawler, redirect the user to https://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA
Fix up the 8 warnings from https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coolersecurityadvisors.com%2F and I think that might help solve the problem.
The like button for my facebook app page stopped working a few days ago. I have added SSL support to my app, but this hasn't solved the problem. I still see the number of likes, but other users just see 0 and when they click the count increments to 1 for a second and then flashes back to 0. I really need help with this. I've tried every solution I can find online and nothing solves it.
Here is the URL of my facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/speeksy
If you go to the page for creating a Like button for this url, you will see the problem.
Thanks,
Barry
This problem is fixed. I found the problem by going to the 'Like' button generation page and typing in my URL. Then it gave me a link to the Admin page for the like button. On the admin page I saw that the admin page was scheduled for deletion. Not sure why this was, but maybe I did this because I was making sure the admin page wasn't being confused with the App Profile page. Anyway, canceling the scheduled deletion made it work again.
My homepage at http://www.kccurling.com no longer shows the likes. Though the other pages I set the ability to like is uneffected and does show their respective likes.
When I click the like button. rather than showing my facebook avatar I get a red "error". Clicking on the "red error", I get the following message
"There was an error liking the page. If you are the page owner, please try running your page through the linter on the Facebook devsite (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/) and fixing any errors."
I then go the link provided. Type in the url and can see the number of likes for that page. by clicking the link at the bottom of the page. I click on debug. but that appears to do nothing. I am not savey enough to understand or see why the likes are still no longer showing on this page only.
This happen about the time I set up a facebook fan page but I am not sure if the two are linked.
Any directions would be appreciated.
Its most likely a temporary error.
Its worth making sure your Open Graph tags are present and working as per the linter.
You may need to wait an hour before linting again.
If its still borked in a couple of hours then there is a problem.
I've seen today a strange behaviour on my site too. The like button doesn't seem to work any longer. Then I've tried to create again a new like button on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/. And this points in two directions. First I get a new app_id (but I don't know why). And second thing was, that I've had to verify my account by SMS or credit card. After that, all was fine...
