I'm pretty new to web development, so I started by created a blog in rails here,
blog website.
I was playing around with open graph meta tags, so I was liking and unliking, repeatedly. It seems that I'm blacklisted now, which I'm okay with. Unfortunately, after confirming a like, I'm unable to post a message to facebook. I just press the "Post to Facebook" button and nothing happens.
I'm inclined to think this behavior is a bug or intentional, but perhaps I'm missing something?
Thanks.
you should type something in as a message, and it works... check it out, u'll see that this will not be posted on your wall as a "Share" post, but in fact as a "Like" action of a page.

I have a facebook page in which I have implemented a tab. Whenever people that aren't me try to share something from the tab, they get the following message: "The message could not be posted to this Wall."
From googling around, I couldn't find any hint why this was happening...
EDIT:
The url I was trying to share had "www.facebook.com" in it. If I change "facebook" to anything else, it allows me to share...
I have a pretty standard implementation of the facebook 'Like' plug-in - example post.
The problem is that when the like button is pressed, and comment is added the link on my profile always points to a broken link.

Here's what the shared post looks like

Any ideas why this is happening?

This is my first thread so be easy on me :) . For all problems i had i found a solution here at stackoverflow, but this one i can' figure out.
So, I wanted to make like button at my website (not facebook page, but actual website) , so when an user likes some URL, it appears in his timeline (website is with articles, so every article has its URL) . Mosh important, i wanted that the like would be in form " 'someone' liked 'something' ON 'SOME_PAGE'" . This "on some page" is the wanted part actually. After some research i found out that i need open graph protocol and facebook app to make that happen. So i followed this tutorial http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ .
Right now, when i like something on my webiste, it appears in my timeline like it should, in form :" name surname liked "something" on "some_facebook_app/webpage" , so its all ok if I make the like, but when someone else likes if (person that is not admin for this app) , it appears as regular link, actually it gets rendered with open graph protocol as in , it shows title, description and picture, but it doesnt connect to my facebook app, there is no "on facebookapp" part. Also, when i come from my friends facebook account to my timeline, likes i made on this particular website are not visible. I dont know is that the problem because i cant find anywhere anything about this (i subscribed app details, i dont know if that is the problem...) . Also, only my face show up in likes, even when i know for sure that my friends liked that particular link too, but I assume that this is problem that is associated with the previous one (because like is not "connected" to facebook app) .
I'm new in this facebook developer stuff, and this facebook app is a big black hole for me...
I found out what it was. I didnt know what sandbox mode meant, so after disabling it, app is now visible to everyone. Nobody actually helped me here, but thanks anyway :) .
Im using Facebook's like button plugin on my own website product pages, also using opengraph tags
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
Everything seems to work fine, the problem is when people 'like' a product, the comment box shows up but if they leave it empty only single line is posted on their feed like:
Jon Doe has liked "title here".
But when they write that comment when they click Like or even post the the link manually all the image,text,description information is correctly displayed.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Well, that’s the basic difference between a like and a share. Since Facebook has merged these to functionalities into one social plugin, it’s up to the user which action he takes.
The old share button has been deprecated, so not much use in implementing it now, because even if it’s still possible(?) it will stop working eventually.
If you want shares instead of likes, your one alternative IMHO is implementing the Feed Dialog on your site, triggered by a click on a button of you own making.
I'm currently having trouble using facebook like button in html5 version, it seems that everytime the visitor of my wordpress blog liked a blog post, it's not working. It will work for a while but when you refresh it, it goes back to active button which is very strange since the user already liked the blog post.
I also encountered that when i liked my own blog post, it fetched the wrong details. example, i liked the blog post #1 but when i check my facebook, it the fetched image is wrong, the description and title is also wrong.
what is the proper way to add a facebook like button in wordpress blog?
any help?
I also encountered the same error before. I already tried the linter to debug it but it really doesn't work. Anyway, my simple solution to that is I changed my facebook like code to Iframe version (since html5 give me crap, there's no harm if I use iframe lol). I don't encountered any errors with that. It works perfectly.
about your question on how to add facebook like in your index file or multiple blog posts in wordpress, the link (guide on how to...) might help you. I used that before. It also discusses about twitter tweet, google plus and pinterest pin it button's wordpress implementation.
have a good day!
