I want to have a "Like" Facebook button on my WordPress page. I tried using both plugins and straight code from the Facebook docs. Both work, but my "likes" don't publish on my timeline. I did put my AppID there, what can it be?
fb-root code:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/pl_PL/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=###"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>`
fb:like code:
<fb:like href="<?php echo $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>" send="true" width="450" show_faces="false"></fb:like>`
Check your Activity Log on Facebook to see if the 'Like' has shown up on your profile. The Like may have been posted as 'Recent Activity' or as a individual 'Someone has liked ...' post.
I would use the Facebook debugger to lint your site/page where the like button resides:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
This will tell you if you have any issues with the like button and or the OG tags on the page.
Hope this helps.
Here is the sample of your html should look like.
*Some Tip for you, dont simply like your page if you not sure your website format is correct, because it will submit a record to facebook with wrong title/images/description/content and etc.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

You will need to submit your Facebook app for review before "likes" will appear in user's timelines, via Facebook's App Dashboard >> Status & Review >> Start a Submission:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review
Probably I'm a bit late :) but given I don't see an accepted answer...
Are you able to see the right Like count from the FB Debugger?
If not, probably worth to verify that the outcome of the following code represent the right URL (and with a proper encoding):
<fb:like href="<?php echo $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ?>

i added an like button to my page which were meant do display each like on the specific users timeline.
Although when the user clicks like, and confirms (since it's a new site) the "like" nothing happens except that it says on the like button on the page that "Name likes this". Nothing on the users Facebook timeline or in profile.
The Facebook debugger doesn't report any errors whatsoever. Which makes it hard to tell for me why it doesn't share on the timeline. So i don't know exactly what to do or correct right now.
Any insight from someone who has been in this spot would be appreciated.

js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/sv_SE/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<div class="fb-like" data-href="https://www.MY_URL.se/" data-width="100" data-show-faces="false" data-send="false" style="position: absolute; z-index:5; margin-top: 40px; margin-left: 335px;"></div>
The confirm doesn´t come for new sites, it usually comes if you aren´t using an app id (which is the case here), or if spammy behaviour is detected. Try using an app, just select it in the generator: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
This could be the solution, but to make it more visible, the user has to add a comment too.
So, i have come to the conclusion that since the update to the "new" timeline in Facebook, an like with no attached comment will not be displayed in the users timeline/activity feed.
When the user includes an comment during the Like click, it will be shown (This is only based on theory, i haven't been able to actually confirm this yet).
This can happen if the page does not have the correct open graph tags and can be fixed by inspecting them here. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
I am trying to implement the Like button on my pages.
Those pages represent the review page for a product. When a user Likes the page, it shows up in Facebook (not as a link, but as liking an entity), however when you click on the entity in Facebook it links through to a facebook.com hosted page representing the page. I want the user to be redirected to the og:url page?
This happens for example when you Like an artist page on Grroveshar: http://grooveshark.com/#!/artist/Elbow/4795
I am clearly "doing it wrong".
I am using the following markup to include the SDK. MYAPPID is included by the code generator Facebook provides so I assume it is required.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=MYAPPID";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
Then my code to render the Like button.
<div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>
And finally my og tags:
<meta property="og:title" content="My product" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://site.com/product_1/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://site.com/image1.jpg" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="My-Site-Name.com" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="MYFACEBOOKID" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="MYAPPID" />
Thanks!
It sounds like you're confusing the Admin Page for that URL with the URL itself, but i could be wrong because the admin page has a message at the top explaining this which looks like this:
Only the admins will see the on-Facebook admin page, and other users will be brought back to the og:url value defined on the URL which was liked. If you're not specifying a data-href parameter in the HTML5 Like plugin, this will be the current page or whatever the og:url value is on the current page's meta tags
Check what Facebook's Debug Tool says for the URL you're trying to like and make sure the tags are being read correctly
The problem with the grooveshark example is the fact they are using #! urls. If you wereto like http://grooveshark.com/artist/Elbow/4795 instead it would work correctly. If you are using such URL patterns than you will run into problems, and you would need to override the like button to hit the url without it.
I got my code to validate with debugger but none of my properties are showing up on the new feed like I want them to. Instead it seems to show a Facebook default text:
Cosmetology & Spa Institute | Facebook www.facebook.com 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.
How can I get it to display my og properties?
All code on my site is below.

Just tested it – can’t find any problems, your description and image show up as in the meta elements.
It's because the data-href on your like button is pointed at a page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/CosmetologySpaInstitute) not the page the like button is on, so the opengraph tags never even get read. Instead Facebook scrapes what it can from the page on Facebook.
In effect, clicking like doesn't like your webpage, but your Facebook Page.
i have this facebook page: LINK
And i want to implement multiple facebook like button on product page on site: LINK
When i click on "Like" Buttom, this aways shows "1" and when refresh the page, this count disapear.
for my product page i use:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/pt_BR/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
and for buttons:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.calcadosabruzzo.com.br/2012/catalogo/1402.html" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="85" data-show-faces="false" data-font="segoe ui"></div>
for each phantom pages for the products i use these meta tags:
<!doctype html>
<html xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xmlns:og="http://opengraph.org/schema/">
<head>
<title>Calçados Abruzzo - Ref.: 1402</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="Calçados Abruzzo - Ref.: 1402" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.calcadosabruzzo.com.br/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.calcadosabruzzo.com.br/2012/produtos/1402_5122_Marrom_montila.jpg" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Calçados Abruzzo" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="100002115061810" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.calcadosabruzzo.com.br/2012/catalogo.html">
</head><body></body></html>
i dont know where to get the APP_IP becouse the client make his page on facebook and dont make an APP
when i put the product page on Facebook Debug, show me these errors: LINK
How to solve this? Its the first time i use this Plugin...
I managed to find few reports on this behaviour. I seems Facebook introduced a bug because even their reference where you can create like button gives errors. What people suggested is to make an app through developers.facebook.com/apps
Get the app_id from there and in the app settings under App Domain add your website (calcadosabruzzo.com.br).
For fb:admins you should add the app admin id (probably yours).
Hope this helps.
I am trying to create a share button for links using the Facebook share button:
http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/share.php
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Share
However when I try to use the t value in my URL's they don't work.
I even tried using the example on the API page:
http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2F&t=Facebook%20Developers
And it doesn't work... It sets the title as developers.facebook.com not Facebook Developers as specified by the URL
Anyone know how I can make this work correctly?
I want my share links to come up as... 'Title Of what I am sharing' and then... the url directly to that item.
The Facebook share link dynamically fetches the title and images from the page/website to share. The title specified in the link is only used while Facebook loads the page details. Check this link out:
http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.rackspace.com&t=SOME%20TITLE
My solution to the title parameter is:
as url, add to the page url a variable (lik real_title):
http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://mydomain.net/mypage?real_title=MyTitle
Then, in the index.php page:
< title>
<?php if (isset ($_GET['real_title']))
print ($_GET['real_title']);
else
print ("Default page title"); ?>
< /title>
Facebook crawls the given URL in search of Open Graph meta tags. It gives precedence to the contents of those tags, if they're present. Here's a sample of what the Open Graph tags look like:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head>
<title>The Rock (1996)</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="movie"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/rock.jpg"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="IMDb"/>
<meta property="fb:admins" content="USER_ID"/>
<meta property="og:description"
content="A group of U.S. Marines, under command of
a renegade general, take over Alcatraz and
threaten San Francisco Bay with biological
weapons."/>

I also met this problem, but i have found the problem because i didn't put facebook code in that file http://bannedadsense.com/banned-adsense-list/isbanned, i was very stupid with it and lost time to fix, but now i'm lucky, i have just fixed done now, simple only copy fb code to all pages you want to use fb share like button.
