This isn't the first time this has happened for me and now I really need to get it sorted. I'm trying to get a like button on a site I'm working on for this facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/JuJu-London/105631147168
I have already used the facebook lint tool and all it says is it's inaccessible, which is no use to me whatsoever.
Does anyone know why it is being "inaccessible" even though I can access and like the page if I go to it through the browser?
It's inaccessible for me either.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/JuJu-London/105631147168 directs me to my FB home page
It looks it's some kind of secret group and their lint works like normal user

I'm trying to use the facebooke like-box for a FB Group I'm creating a website for. I'm getting the error below. Where is the mistake coming from ? Thanks
https://www.facebook.com/groups/tapmichiana/
Could not retrieve the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.
Although Facebook encourages all it’s users to use “safe browsing” and therefor HTTPS when accessing the platform … the like button itself seems to be a little behind on that issue.
Try pointing your like button to http://www.facebook.com/groups/tapmichiana/ instead, the non-SSL version of your group’s page on Facebook – then it should work.
I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now. I have a simple wordpress blog. I've plugged in all the OG meta tags and run the page though the debugger many times and it shows no errors.
However when people click the Like button (generated from the Like Box plugin), they get the red error message suggesting that the page be run through the debugger.
I have generated other like buttons that live on individual blog posts, and so far these seem to be working fine, its only when trying to like page there is an issue.
Also note, that the facebook page was generated from the OG meta data after I had liked it. So this isn't from creating a page in Facebook and then trying to have people like it. I mention that just in case it matters.
The other thing of note, is that if I am already logged in (just me the admin), I can like and unlike it with no errors. If however I log out of facebook, and click the like button, after entering my facebook login, I see the error just as other users have.
I've been reading forum posts for days and have yet to find a solution. My blog URL is http://www.garrinball.com
Thanks
Your http://www.garrinball.com/ parses just fine on the linter. However, this is only a small issue, you don't specify any og:image tag on http://www.garrinball.com/2011/10/christmas-card-shoot/.
What is strange is I don't see any errors. I like the christmas-card-shoot and the like button maintained my like even after page refresh.
I also logged out of facebook, went back to like it, and it prompted me for credentials as normal. I logged in, and was able to like the button. No errors.
I'm wondering if it is specific to your account you're using.
I'd suggest trying with an other fb account.
I have a fanpage tab application with a like button on it, and after a while testing I got the exact same error as you :
<!-- with the JS SDK included and inited -->
<div class="fb-like" data-href="//fanpage-url" data-send="false" data-width="100" data-show-faces="false"></div>
When refreshing, the like button is however detecting correctly the like status.
No error message shows up when using another account than my admin-dev one... maybe its an antispam function ?
I have a like/send button that I've set up on a customer's home page. I have it pointed at their facebook profile page so that when people like them either from facebook or on their homepage, it's always liking the same thing.
Anyway, I've used the fb social plugins page to create the fbxml, and I'm having a problem with the send button. The like button works wonderfully, but the send button doesn't want to cooperate.
First, I had the button set up using "http://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA" as the link to like/send. However, with the button(s) configured that way, when you click on Send you get an error message that says "The page at ttp://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA could not be reached because the server returned status code 200."
So I did some digging on the 'net, and found some info that seemed to indicate that maybe the send button didn't like the alias / page name. I tried putting in the page id instead, and when I do that I get a different error: "The page at ttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=165721903513327 could not be reached."
(I removed the h in the front of the links in those messages because the board was complaining about too many links. But the actual error message has the http in full :) )
The link works either way if you c/p into your browser, and also works fine with the like button. It would appear that the send button has some issues? Maybe needs to handle redirects instead of returning a 200 OK message.... ?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If you want to see the like/send button in action, this is the website it's set up on: http://www.coolersecurityadvisors.com
thx!
After checking the buttons on the upper right, I found an issue. It seems like you can not Like/Send URL's of real Facebook Pages using the Like/Send button. Facebooks URL debugger always comes up with the error "Facebook can not crawl itself".
If you just want that people share a link to your Facebook Page, simply create a file on your server, implement the OpenGraph Tags you want to show up on Facebook (title, image, etc.) and output this in case the Facebook crawler is visiting this site, if it's not the Facebook crawler, redirect the user to https://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA
Fix up the 8 warnings from https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coolersecurityadvisors.com%2F and I think that might help solve the problem.
I've been having trouble accessing admin privledges for the like buttons on my website (along with other things).
This is the situation:
I have made a facebook page for my website www.digitaldemocracy.org.uk
I have made a facebook app for my website that allows people with facebook accounts to register and login to the site. This works fine.
Like buttons are associated with different php dynamically created pages on my website i.e. www.digitaldemocracy.org.uk/debate/debate.php?id=3850. These Like buttons work when users click on them. I also have a like button for the main page www.digitaldemocracy.org.uk which works a bit funny as it seems to sum up all the likes from the other pages (even though they all have different URLs associated with them)
Now what I'm having issues with:
I have put 3 facebook UIDs into the metatags for admin purposes for the Like buttons. I have tested some links with the fb Linter (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/) and it doesn't seem to have any issues, but when I click the like buttons myself, I get no admin features. I have also tried accessing admin priv directly from facebook, but no luck with that either.
I read that you can tie admin rights to a fb page, so then I tried it with the facebook page (page_id) for the site, but no luck with that either.
I then tried to give admin rights from my website to the facebook app, but when i test it with the linter it says that i have associate it with the specific page www.digitaldemocracy.org.uk/debate/debate.php?id=unique_id, which seems to defeat the purpose of what i'm trying to do (tie all the website pages together so i can easily administrate them).
The furthest I've got is to see the insights for the domain www.digitaldemocracy.org.uk/ (where i wasn't able to before), but I can't seem to see likes for individual pages and I don't seem to have any admin rights about publishing to user's feed or seeing who the 'likers' are! Am I missing something now?
It 'seems' to be that i'm doing all the correct things specified by the documentation, but I have getting nowhere and don't know what else to do. I have searched forums for answers, but they're just all over the place. I hope that stating my exact problem and what I've done will hopefully find someone able to help me!
Thanks in advance.

2 things I have found:
It seems the Admin link will only appear when you are using the default like button settings (ie faces on etc)
For the times that I could not get the Admin link to appear, I ran the linter and it suddenly did.
Perhaps try emptying the cache for your browser too but I have a feeling the first point might solve your problem?
I could be wrong, would love to hear someone else's opinion!
This issue has been driving me crazy ever since I accidentally discovered that these magical pages existed. I've had them show up with and without appIds in the fb js snippet. There doesn't seem to be any logic.
Item 1 from Sam Hammond doesn't seem to matter. Most of my Like buttons have data-show-faces set to false.
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.mysite.com" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="100" data-show-faces="false"></div>
From the above example I have seen the following:
Actual Web Page Like Button shows "9k"
My admin page shows "1.7k"
It's great. I can reach 1.7k people who Liked the page. But what about the rest and what about any new pages I create?
For now, when in doubt, drop the Facebook Page Like Box on your web page because at least it works consistently:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
I also have to wonder how facebook users react when they start seeing posts in their feed from sites they Liked. It seems a bit intrusive.
I frequently use the Linter/Debugger tool on my web pages, doesn't seem to make anything appear. But this tool is highly recommended for other purposes:
updated link from above is: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
I'm trying to add a facebook "like" button to my page, and it is appearing just fine. My problem is that once it is clicked by a user, it says "Like NUMBER" then resets as if the request was canceled or something.
The weird thing is that if I try to like a page using my facebook account it works, but I tried letting a friend like some content and this behavior appeared.
I created a facebook app, specified the site url with a trailing slash, and site domain. I used the app ID with FB.init, and with the open graph tags. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

First, for the count to work correctly, Facebook needs to have access to the page (in other words a public page). Check your URL in the linter tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) to ensure it can been seen by Facebook.
Secondly, ensure your og: tags are correctly setup. Once again, you can use the linter tool to do that.
Facebook like buttons will show this behavior until they have been scraped by Facebook. That scraping (facebook like docs) will occur every 24 hours, when an admin clicks the like button or the url is put in the url debugger/linter. From what I can tell doing that will solve the problem for that specific link, but not any others you may have on your site.
I don't know of a generic solution for dynamically generated pages unfortunately.
