I added social plugin to my app(IFRAME)- "Like button". After adding
a plugin, I decided to change page description.
Everything seems to be ok, except description remains old
in "Like" plugin window...
So how to make it fresh?
Your help would be appreciated.
You need to run it through the URL Linter.

There used to be a social plugin from FB for Follow button and it was working fine on my clients website earlier. But recently I've noticed that it doesn't load. So when I tried looking for the issue, it seems like FB has removed it. Is that the case? I could not find any documentation regarding removal of / changes to follow button social plugin.
When I searched for follow button on developers.facebook.com it does show "Follow Button - Social Plugins" as first result but when I open the page it says the link may be broken or the page may have been removed.
Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there any way to get the earlier functionality of follow button?
Search result:
Page error:
https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2017/11/07/changes-developer-offerings/:
Follow Button: With multiple options to follow a person or a Page, the Follow button has become redundant. You can use the Like button plugin as an alternative, which provides the ability to subscribe to a public profile or a Facebook Page's public updates.
I am trying to fix problem with FB share button
in
http://davitpir.ack.neowebservices.co.uk/offer-61.html
You can view the source (html code)
I have set the meta title, description etc correctly.
But when I click on share button it is sharing "Davit Pirvelashvili" which is the title of other pages not the offer page(i.e. the link I have mentioned above)
How can I make the FB share button share the correct title and description.
You can view-source of the above url to see the title/description that I have mentioned
Update
Strangly it is working fine for
http://davitpir.ack.neowebservices.co.uk/offer-83.html
The OpenGraph tags can get cached (I'm not sure the term FB uses). But if you test your URL with:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object
It forces the cache to update.
EDIT: After using the debug tool the title is correct for me.
I've had this like button/box setup for this specific page for some time. But now it;s stopped working:
Using code generated (for iframe) on this page:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
to display this fb page:
http://www.facebook.com/JohnPurkiss
does not display/work. If I amend the like button url in the iframe to another fb page, it does work. I'm not tryinig to use a button/plugin that requires an app. Just a plain 'ol simple button. But it appears to me there is an issue with this specific fb page (johnpurkiss one above)
Any advice/help greatly appreciated.
The problem here is that the "page" you linked to is in actual fact a personal user.
You can not "like" a user in the same way that
you can not add a page as a friend...
or "poke" an event...
or subscribe to a photo...
You'll gave to provide an actual page to be liked.
As you can see from the screenshot below taken from the link you provided, there is no like button to be found.
Only an "Add Friend" and "Subscribe" button. I'm not sure if converting your profile into a page is the way you want to go, but it is possible. You can learn how at this link.
Since today, I cannot add new apps to Facebook pages.
Normally I create an app, go to the app-page and click on "Add to my page":
The link to the add page was this, but it's not working anymore.
Any solution?
Check this page tab tutorial.
Here is a little helper page to do this until Facebook fixes it themselves: http://stickybeat.se/addapp/
This link might be more direct on what you are looking for. It gives an example of using the Facebook api to add a page as well as the dialog method.
Facebook like button not working on my site.
It goes from like back to default as if it isn't passing some validation.

Once the problem is detected and solved, I'll edit the question to represent a minimal example that will benefit the SO community. Unfortunately I can't pull out the problem out yet as I'm not sure what it is..
Here is a screencast demonstrating the issue http://see.weareinto.com/8Hbq
I believe this is a problem happening on facebook's end. But, there is a way you can fix it... Just copy the URL of your page and enter it in the Facebook LINTER tool here:
Facebook LINTER -> https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
I'm not sure of the exact details of why this works, but from what I've been able to gather, when you run the LINTER tool on your URL it will also update the cache facebook has for your URL. The error with the button working is on the facebook side, so by running this tool and getting facebook to update their cached data for your page, the like button starts working again. I've seen this broken facebook button occur for a few different reasons, one being that a page used to use the old facebook share button. When you add the new like button to a page that used to use a share button, the like button won't work until you run the page through the linter.
Bottom line is doing this will fix your like button. If your facebook button doesn't work on a page, run it through the LINTER tool. Hope this helps!
If you are on Wordpress and you have the "Facebook Comments" plugin enabled, uncheck "Include OpenGraph Meta Information" at the very bottom of the Facebook Comments settings page. This was screwing it up for me.
