Why is that when I press "like" or "tweet" and even "+1" button on one post of my blog, it is also applied to all post even when I am not pressing the like button on other post. Do you think it is my html/javascript code who gave this problem or bug?
Thank you,
first check the og: tags are correctly specified in the HTML. You can use Facebook's free linter tool to check and ensure they're correct: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Also, it would be more helpful to us to help you if you provided some sample links and also code you're using to accomplish this.
If you are using blogger, then instead of using the code provided by Facebook(which is static), you have to use a dynamic version which will generate the FBML tags appropriately.Similar is the case with twitter and G+. Here are the links to the those.

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 have wordpress blog with twentyeleven theme setup. I have facebook button and I beleive all facebook garph api codes are exist in head part. Now the problem is there are more than 4 images exist on the page, but facebook like button only fetching one image everytime. And trust me that is a huge problem for me.
Can someone help me fix the issue.
here is the link if you wanna take a look at: http://j.mp/GSfWKb
thanks
While I can't confirm this is how Facebook approaches it, the og: meta tags only appear to work for actual like buttons, not Facebook sharing buttons (which are depreciated anyway).
According to this question you can try and put in a link tag and that may work for the share button you have. Facebook Post Link Image
I don't know where to put the code onto my facebook page. I have searched everywhere and no one and no site gives me a specific answer enough for me to understand.
Well, here is facebook's official page. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
It explains all the tags and how to use them as well as a generator for whatever facebook url you might want.
I realize Share has been deprecated by Facebook, but this is still posted on their documentation:
https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=[url to share]&t=[title of content]
However, the title won't change no matter what I do -- including adding the "og:title" meta and changing the actual title of the page.
Any suggestions on how I can make it possible for people to share my page with a suggested message? thanks.
I would encourage you to use the Facebook Javascript SDK, this will give you much more flexibility with what you share.

I have a business requirement to add a Share on Facebook button to a site. There are a lot of links on the web that point to this page but that just points to the page about the like button. Considering there really isn't any talk of a Share button on that page, makes me think it's going away.
This blog post from 2009 talks about the Share button. I didn't see, when I searched, any mention about the Share button being phased out.
I'm unclear on whether I should implement this with sharer.php or whether I should tell the business that "Share" is on the way out and we should just implement "Like".
I have seen some blog posts that suggest Share is deprecated, but nothing official from Facebook.
It is not deprecated per se, but we do want developers to move the Like button.
Official word from Facebook on the sharer.php being deprecated and not supported: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share/
The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and will no longer be supported. Please use the Like button whenever possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps.
2014: The sharer.php has been well..undeprecated. It figures, as this method has been used on millions of sites and was still being used even when the docs were previously saying that it was deprecated. Links in the old format will use the new share button functionality:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button/
This new Share Button works with a new version of our web-based Share Dialog. When using the sharer.php method of invoking the Share Dialog, this dialog will also display the new version without any changes required.
And:
Can I use the Share Dialog without using the Share Button?
Yes, although we recommend using the Share button to offer the
simplest and most consistent experience for people using your site,
you can invoke the Share Dialog using a link:
I believe it has been deprecated in favor of an improved Like button that has similar functionality. The language can be tweaked to 'Recommend', but I found these articles when doing similar research.

Hope it helps.
I don't know of any plans to deprecate the share bookmarklet (which is sharer.php). The deprecation I think you're thinking of is the deprecation of the <fb:share> tag, an XFBML tag which basically did the same thing as <fb:like> before <fb:like> came into existence. Now, they're redundant, so I think <fb:share> is gradually being phased out.
Using the Like button is probably the right way to go in most cases, but if you don't want to make an app id and want a simple quick method, just do this:
Share on Facebook
You can replace the Share on Facebook with an image or whatever you want. Facebook docs reference: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/share-links/
