I had a like box in my canvas page and it always worked perfectly fine until this month. It decided not to work anymore.
Screenshot:
This is the piece of code I was using:
<fb:like-box href="https://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=129443657150865" width="260" show_faces="false" border_color="" stream="false" header="true"></fb:like-box>
And a flash game would get whether or not the user pressed like. But now, it gets nothing anymore and the like button won't even show up. What just happened this month?
edit: Meanwhile, I replaced the like button with the one from the game page. It's not the one I wanted, but better than nothing.
The Like button does not work with your App Profile Page since Facebook removed all App Fan Pages. Instead, you have to create a new Fan Page from the Advanced tab of your App Settings (look for App Page setting with a Create Facebook Page button).

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
We're using fb like buttons, which worked just fine. Lately it looks like clicking on it gives no indication after it was clicked (the button looks like it wasn't clicked, counter remains 0), though the operation is posted to the user facebook timeline as it suppose to.
I've test my page with facebook linter page and the page looks just fine.
I've test it with the facebook js test page and got the exact same behavior http://developers.facebook.com/tools/console/ (go to examples and choose the "does-like" example, then run it and you'll get an error that doesn't say nothing much).
Does anyone faced this problem lately?
We have same problem here so I think it might be facebook bug or their some recent changes. Clicking on like button generated with http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ gives no indication. If it is checked it won't uncheck, if it is unchecked it won't check. Facebook debug tool shows no errors or even warnings.
Button properties: Send button: unchecked, Layout Style: button_count, Show Faces: false
We use iframe code to place it on page.
Here you can find sample code we use:
http://jsfiddle.net/7nHEs/2/
I tested for XFBML instead of iframe and it seems to work. So this might be solution. On other hand I don't want change all iframe buttons that worked in previous week to XFBML in
all my apps.
Similar to a problem I have read here, but slightly different. I have added the XFBML version of the like button to a page I am working on in a development environment. It appeared just fine to begin with. I clicked like, viewed my Facebook profile, saw that it was shared on my timeline, I then clicked 'unlike' (which I had done before using the iframe version and experienced no problems).
After clicking 'unlike', the button completely disappeared from my page. Although the markup that was generated is still present.
To make this problem even stranger, when placing the like button on a different page I do not experience the same issue. On a separate (3rd) page, I do.
I feel like this is a long shot, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: said 'screw this' and decided to use AddThis for all my buttons. The facebook like button provided through AddThis also does not appear. So confused.
Could you change the href attribute of the Facebook iframe and see if the button appears?
If you have a Facebook App, such as a simple page promoting something, can you still install a Facebook Like button inside the app/view itself.
The reason I'm asking is that it is working for me, but if I try to specify the URL of the Like button to the URL of my app, then the button doesn't display at all. If I put a different URL in, then it works fine.
For example, the link to a developer page, will work fine:
data-href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Uktv-developer-area/123456789000000"
But, if I include the reference to the app, it breaks:
data-href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Uktv-developer-area/123456789000000?sk=app_123456789000000"
Can anyone spot why this is happening?
I am developing a Facebook page for fans only. When a user lands on my page I am able to determine if it is a fan or not and display content appropriately. In the last few days I have noticed that non fans that land on my page and click on the native tab like button the page doesn't refresh to display the fan content.
What do I do about it? I haven't changed anything on my code to cause this. It just stopped working.
I didn't encounter such problems, but if you need a solution, try to subscribe to the edge.create event: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/
This way, you will be able to detect if someone clicks a like button and, if the like button for your page is clicked, you can redirect the users back on your tab, like a sort of refresh
Sounds like it might be a Facebook bug, nothing in your code should have any affect on the native like button.
