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.

I have started to experience a really strange problem with Facebook link scraping/caching which seems random in nature.
On brand new posts when I go to check: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ with my new URL I get a message saying 'Cannot scrape: URL blocked'
We have literally been sharing URL's to Facebook for YEARS with no problem whatsoever. All open graph tags are present and working fine.
What is really weird is if I just manually press the 'scrape again' button it grabs all the bits properly and says everything is fine. It's always just the first attempt.
I have also tried manually calling the scrap API instead of letting Facebook do it when someone shares the URL for the first time and still sometimes (not always) it returns empty (just 'id' and 'url' returned) indicating the URL was blocked.
What's going on here it's driving me mad? We are nowhere near our API limits if maybe that was the issue...
Why would it say blocked first go on the debug page then literally 2 seconds later you press 'scrape again' and it works fine.
Just to note sometimes when it says blocked it still shows maybe the image in the link preview but no title or description. It's like it's grabbed some tags but then given up. Very strange...
I have checked our access logs and I can see 'Facebot' accessing our site fine.
Hope someone can help, I am really hoping this is some weird Facebook bug as I can't see any change in our code base that would effect this.
Facebook does not return anything helpful when this happens even with the API. I have no way in contacting Facebook direct either. If we are somehow getting blocked I would love to know why and fix that issue. But it's impossible to debug at the moment.
Just to note I have 3 sites all running the same code base (WordPress environment). They are all experiencing this issue. All been running fine for many years.
Cheers
This was to do with rate limiting that was not visible in the Facebook APP dashboard. Helpful...

Solution for your problem: You can use Facebook image button after adding link on Facebook news feed, like shown in iamge
second thing upload image on othe site and give the image path to your website and then put it on your news feed, you can get definitely positive result using this two methods.

I'm trying to embed a facebook like box to my website and am using the facebook developer like box too. I find that when pasting in the facebook page no activity, posts or anything appears in the box.
I've tried testing using different facebook pages and it works fine for those. Just not the facebook I want.
I'm really not sure why the facebookpage is https://www.facebook.com/thelopesarms?fref=ts
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
I had the same problem.
Clear all your cache.
It's like a recent problem on like-box. But after I fixed with this, my plugin shows one more face than before :S
All of app links that start with "http://apps.facebook.com/AppID#" are giving me 4oh4 error link page which states that the page is not available. To be exact, I've copied & pasted the exact error it gives me below.
Sorry, this page isn't available, The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.
I have tried using http://apps.facebook.com/namespace here in which this gives me blank white page!
Could this be in correlation of today's facebook mass disabling of app links? I just don't know but I want to know if other people are having same issues as me and know a solution. Or if this is somethign we gotta wait out for facebook to fix? Please help! Thank you.

Never had such problems with any of the software in my life.
I have a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/zelife.ru
and all the time I try to create a likebox code for inserting it on my web-site I see this:
"Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in."
As far as I understand, I need to get an ID, where should I get it?
Thanks in advance.

The facebook like-box is designed for facebook pages only! You are trying to use your profile, that's why you're getting an error.
