I cannot get the facebook's activity feed social plugin to work. I set it up on one website a few weeks ago and it has been working fine.
Last week, I tried to set up another activity feed (from a different FB page) to a different website, and it will not work. I keep getting this message: "No recent activity to display.
Put some Like buttons on your website to engage your users. Details can be found here."
The like button has already been set up and there is obviously recent activity.
I have tried this on a couple different sites now, and I keep getting the same message.
Is this a facebook problem? Can anyone help?
Thanks!
The only things I can think of are to get rid of the facebook plugin code and get it again from the website, making sure the URL is correct. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/

Our sharing buttons have been working just fine and the news were appearing in the news feed every time they were shared.
I have no idea what happened but as from yesterday, the buttons are working, the story appears on the user Time Line but it just won't appear in the news feed and we've tried this with 5 different accounts.
The app is totally OK, no warnings or errors.
If someone has this problem as well and can suggest something, I'll be grateful.
Ok so here is what happened: Seems like FB has blocked our site for some reason (maybe an auto-check together with their strange algorithms or something).
I've contacted them and after 12 hours... whoala - it started to show on the news feed again.
So if someone has this problem and he is 100% certain that his technical setup has no errors, just go ahead and contact Facebook, they'll help you.
I am trying to build a Facebook/Twitter application that allows the user to take a picture at a trade show for example. Then enter their facebook or twitter credentials and a comment and have it post to there site. I have messed around with the facebook side of things and can get it to work but logging the user out doesn't work as I thought.
The cookies are stored in Safari, this is fine but of course my app cannot get them.
Each time the user is done posting it needs to correctly log them off so the next user doesn't just relog back in as the prior user because of the cookies in safari. This almost needs to be a Kiosk like app.
I have been looking at this topic for about a week and all the old examples are relevant to the old FacebookSDK. I have looked at the examples provided by Facebook to no avail. Any help or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated. I
UPDATE:
I was looking into something like UIWebView to display facebook and then the cookies would be available to be deleted... Has anyone done this recently? I found some old examples but they do not work.
Update: I might have this working I am stuck on something else now but will post the answer to this question as soon as I finish! Should be next day or so.
I'm trying to create a page that requires visitors to 'Like' a Facebook Page before showing all the content.
The page with the like button is hosted on herokuapp.com but the URL to like is a Facebook page (ie. the host URL and the 'Like' URL are different).
I've successfully included a like button and I have subscribed to the edge.create event, and everything was working fine (I could write to console.log or run custom javascript) when clicking on the Like button.
However in the course of testing I've clicked Like/Unlike so many times that my site has now been flagged as potential clickjacking and the Like button now changes to 'Confirm' and asks the user to go through the Confirm dialog process.
I understand that I just need to accumulate more 'white' Likes and this dialog will go away eventually, but in the meantime it's causing me problems.
Basically, when I go through the 'Confirm' process in Google Chrome or on my iPhone, the 'Confirm' link never changes to 'Liked', the number of likes doesn't change and the edge.create event doesn't fire.
Has anyone else encountered this behaviour? I've read just about every post on Stack Overflow relating to either the Confirm process and edge.create but no one seems to have had this particular problem. I'd really appreciate any suggestions :)
I was able to resolve this problem by moving my app to be hosted my own domain instead of heroku, even though I was liking the same page. Not an ideal solution for everyone but it worked for me. In future I will create dummy apps and pages to test this process out.
I built an app a couple of months ago and now I cannot get to it via the URL.
I am using
http://www.facebook.com/#!/apps/application.php?id=\[APPLICATION_ID\]
Does anyone know if this has recently changed? I have looked at other app URLS and they seem to have the below format:
[http://apps.facebook.com/[APPLICATION_NAME]/?ref=ts]
What do I need to do in order to get mine working again?
Many thanks for any help.
Facebook deleted all app pages and forced developers to make a generic page for their apps. Details here: http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/02/01/how-to--migrate-your-app-profile-page/
If you missed their deadline, you just lost your page. Maybe your app gets the new URL when you create the new page.
If anyone stumbles upon this again. Facebook is doing a POST request to your app page. In my case I was only serving it for GET's and this caused the Page not found error.
I have a web site that gets quite a bit of traffic from Facebook. I've never had any problems sharing links to it on my Facebook page, but starting this afternoon, whenever I post a link to my web site from my facebook page, the post disappears from all users' feeds after 2-3 hours. This has happened 3 times now and I can't understand why. At first I thought it was my page itself, but it seems to be my domain because when I share from a different page (the same domain), it also disappears.
It worked fine this morning but not now. What is going on? Is this a glitch or is it some kind of system FB has in place now? This is really hurting traffic and clicks out from FB to my site.
Thank you.
Edit: looking back, it seems this may have started happening around Tuesday. Is there some kind of system in place now to limit the amount of clicks out you can get from a post? I can't see any other reason it's happening...
There are several possible causes:
Links that you use is a dynamic link which at times can be changed, use the static link. Example your link like this: http://www.domain.com/page.php?var=xxxxxxxx, where the parameter xxxxxxxx values on the links can change at any time may be due to activity updates. This will cause facebook can not find a link that has been logged.
Bandwidth & server connection you less stable.
If I may suggest, avoid links / URLs dynamically & use the SEO Friendly link/URL like this page URL http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8529022/why-are-my-links-to-my-site-disappearing-from-feeds-after-2-3-hours
