I am experiencing a weird behavior of Like Box Social Plugin.
When I go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
and enter my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/LetUgo.cz
it shows doubled persons in the list (i.e. their face photos).
In other words, almost every person who has liked my page is listed twice.
The number of persons (X people like...) is also incorrect.
When I log out of facebook and show the plugin again, it is correct.
So the wrong behaviour happens only when I am logged into facebook.
The same problem happens to the others who like the page.
When I go to this facebook page, everything is correct. So this problem relates to facebook like box social plugin only.
Does anybody have a clue?
Cheers

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 :) .
I've tried everything basically, and even on facebooks site it doesn't work right -
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
Type in page "venula" and you'll see it doesn't show the right amount of faces, but other pages like "microsoft" do. What's going on here?
See this similar problem...although it's very unlikely, but maybe your fans never made it public that they liked that page - or they don't exist anymore on facebook.
Try logging in as your page - see the arrow next to Home on facebook.com and click on use facebook as page. You're able to see all the likes of your page, on your page. Are there more faces - to see click on the friends button on the top left corner on facebook.com?
Maybe the like-box changed now too ?!
Other than that, it really might be a bug! Wait a few more days and send in a bug report if the problem persists!
I am trying to implement facebook like box for my facebook page on my own site. I copied the code from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ (HTML5 or any other) and pasted on my site. Box appears with all the correct information bu when I click on like, I get an error message saying
"The page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/xxxxx/111111 could not be reached."
I've been trying to find a solution for this for hours but couldn't find anything. It's nothing to do with the privileges etc.
I also ran it through Object Debugger and it didn't come up with any problem.
Does anyone has any solution for this? I created the page today, does facebook needs time to parse/index my page before like box works?
Thanks in advance
Are there any demographic restrictions on your page that would prevent it being seen by somebody logged out of Facebook? Is it the published? Those are the two most common reasons for that error that I've seen
Ok, all of a sudden it started working. Haven't changed anything in the code. So I guess Like Box won't work if you install it on the same day you create the FB Page.
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...
I'm trying to add a facebook "like" button to my page, and it is appearing just fine. My problem is that once it is clicked by a user, it says "Like NUMBER" then resets as if the request was canceled or something.
The weird thing is that if I try to like a page using my facebook account it works, but I tried letting a friend like some content and this behavior appeared.
I created a facebook app, specified the site url with a trailing slash, and site domain. I used the app ID with FB.init, and with the open graph tags. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

First, for the count to work correctly, Facebook needs to have access to the page (in other words a public page). Check your URL in the linter tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) to ensure it can been seen by Facebook.
Secondly, ensure your og: tags are correctly setup. Once again, you can use the linter tool to do that.
Facebook like buttons will show this behavior until they have been scraped by Facebook. That scraping (facebook like docs) will occur every 24 hours, when an admin clicks the like button or the url is put in the url debugger/linter. From what I can tell doing that will solve the problem for that specific link, but not any others you may have on your site.
I don't know of a generic solution for dynamically generated pages unfortunately.
