In some stage few days ago many of the website pages' counter has been zeroed.
After various examinations, using facebook's debug tool (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button) I realized that there is no problem in my plugin embedded code. The counter in the debug took shows the exact number as it shows in the website.
But still, what can we do?? is there a way to restore the lost likes counts (and users lists that liked the pages etc.)?
Maybe something else has happened?
Many thanks,
Ehud

I have a landing page what got 9.2k likes 2 days ago
http://cradiff.com/saiyan-ghost-warrior
But suddenly yesterday I check and see it 's only have 17 likes. I don't know why it show like that. Here are some tasks what I did right before the day I see the changes what may effect this problem
I run facebook ads $40 for this link on my facebook page. Maybe this make the number of likes/share increase too much?
I use this tool to clear cache until it show the URL is listed in review list https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ . Because this tool doesn't get the last html so that I submit it around 5 times until it is locked
Other than that, everything 's fine. It 's the URL what I have to get the players in game share to earn coins. It 's invested a lot of time and money before it can reach to 9.2k.
Can anyone help me about this?
I have a site www.line4ever.com, first time I wrote url in facebook it shows a featured demo article of the template. I erased it from the site, and wrote an article with the information. But facebook keeps showing the now non existent featured article.
I thought it was a cache, but three days later I still have the problem. Any ideas? Thanks.
Try taking a look using the facebook debugger tool.

You can see what errors there might be and what the cached version of the page looks like. Although 3 days does seem like a long time for a cache, there's probably more factors Facebook take into account (popularity etc.) before they invalidate a cache
I have a slightly confusing setup on my site right now with:
A like button with the data-ref attribute set to the root domain of my site
A like box with date-ref set to a Facebook page I created for my site.
These obviously leads to different things, as the like button has 2.7k likes while the like box/Facebook page has around 600. This last number is also the number of likes I see on my regular Facebook page.
Now I also noticed that I have a second Facebook page saying it is the administration page for my webpage. The page has never been used to post anything, and it doesn't seem to be visible to anyone but me. This page has 700 likes.
I've been reading documentation on this stuff, but I'm not feeling confident about merging the pages or anything just yet, so I have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone with more Facebook experience than me can answer:
Where does this 700 number come from? It's not displayed on either my like button or my like box.
Is there any way for me to combine these three different counts into one?
The 700 is the count of people that liked the URL after you created the admin page which represents that URL - this is irrelevant now as that functionality is deprecated. ( see the link CBroe provided: developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/migration
It is not possible to migrate fans from one object or page to another, except as was allowed during the migration period outlined in that document, if you didn't migrate during that period you cannot move the fans of the site/domain to be fans of the Facebook page instead
This is driving me mad, I have a facebook like button on my site http://www.myabandonware.com/, and the button have been showing 0 like for the site when logged out of facebook. When logged in, the share count is 5k.
When refreshing the page, I get sometimes 4.7k likes instead of 5k. I have checked the share count with the API.
I check the AJAX call with this URL : http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?api_key=172628266142459&channel_url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D9%23cb%3Df3662e52e4%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.myabandonware.com%252Ff188d369e%26domain%3Dwww.myabandonware.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&extended_social_context=false&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myabandonware.com&layout=box_count&locale=en_US&node_type=link&sdk=joey&send=false&show_faces=false&width=55
Sounds like a bug to me, should I file a bug report on Facebook ?
This is maybe temporary, I've started the delete procedure of an old fan page that got 200 likes.
EDIT : this went back to normal behavior, I suppose this was due to the old fan page (automatically created around 2009 I think) being really deleted (after the 15 days allowed for rollback). The link count lost the ~200 fan of this page. I permanently deleted the fan page this morning.
Answer: It is not a user-side issue.
You should definitely file a bug report. Although not new, the Like count integration for certain pages have been wonky as of late. Our startup recently encountered problems as well, so this is no surprise.
A few weeks ago I added a XFBML Facebook "Like" button with counter on a website. The counter worked fine and everyday the number of "Likes" increased.
Suddenly a few days ago the counter vanished just leaving the "Like" button alone.
When using the Linter check I am suddenly receiving an error message which did not show before stating that either "fb:app_id" or "fb:admins" need to be declared. All other values are fine and as required.
Changing to the iframe version does not make a difference.
My question is basically why it worked before and not anymore? Is it due to hitting a certain amount of "Likes" or similar?
Obviously I can simply register with FB and add those parameters but that is not my intention.
A work around could be to access e.g. http://graph.facebook.com/?id=http://google.com/ and grab the data from there. Still it does not explain why it worked some weeks ago and no longer does.
Any suggestions or feedback is much appreciated.
Cheers!
The counter is back now (still without "fb:app_id" or "fb:admins" tags)... after a week being gone.
Again, I have not touched any code whatsoever.
Facebook must be playing on their end.
