I build new web site. On every post in my web site I have facebook Like button.
When visitor click on like button post don't appear on his-user home page , only in his profile page.
Can someone tell me why post(like) don't appear on home page?
I use code generated from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like (iframe)
Thanks
I remember running into this problem several months ago. This solved the problem for me (then), but the situation may have changed by now. Just put the meta data in the head with the desired info. It may take a while for facebook to notice that you have changed anything.
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Lime" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Lime Title" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:description" content="With more and more Lime [...]" />
<meta property="og:image" content="" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://example.com/" />
<!--meta property="fb:page_id" content="18807449704" /-->
Do you mean the news feed in the facebook user's home page?!
It's not used to show the user's actions, read this:
News Feed — the center column of your
home page — is a constantly updating
list of stories from people and Pages
that you follow on Facebook.

I have a job portal website and on that I have a facebook button named as share in fb. I want that when user clicks on that button the that specific job description of my webpage should share on his wall.
<a rel='nofollow' href='http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://testing.com/current_openings.php?JobId=".$jobiid."' target='_blank'>share in fbk</a>
Above link go to share page,but its content is coming from webpage about us page,not specific content.
Set the meta tags for each site you want to be shareable.
Put them in the HTML Header like this
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/arts/international/when-great-minds-dont-think-alike.html" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="When Great Minds Don’t Think Alike" />
<meta property="og:description" content="How much does culture influence creative thinking?" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/02/19/arts/international/19iht-btnumbers19A/19iht-btnumbers19A-facebookJumbo-v2.jpg" />
The properties include descriptive meta-data about the article that we specifically want to present when
I'm trying to implement a basic Facebook like functionality to a site. I've triple-checked & more the meta tags, but the og:description -text doesn't show up in the FB news feed. The title and the image work fine.
Here's the code:
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="SOG – VEITSIÄ VIIDAKOSTA ARKITÖIHIN" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.finnprotec.fi/webshop/news/2" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Kunhan kirjoitan vaan jotain tekstia nyt." />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Finnprotec.fi" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.finnprotec.fi/webshop/kuvat/kuva517a8539a91f1.jpg" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="6700009220" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="348235131938688" />
When I click on the link on the page, the description shows up nicely under the title:
But when I click on the send button, this shows up on my FB feed:
This is what I'm trying to get:
The url of the current page is: http://www.finnprotec.fi/webshop/news/2
I have tried to clear facebook's cache with the facebook linter, but that hasn't helped.
I just ran into this. I found that the description is actually there - you have to hover over the image to see it. It shows it in the format you want sometimes, depending on the size of the post where you're viewing it.
For example, after I've liked my post, I don't see the description in the post shown when I click on my name and view my wall (where the posts are smaller).
But I do see it when I just go to facebook.com and I view the larger version shown in my stream.
I realize this isn't really answering the question; I couldn't find a way to get it to show the description consistently.
add this two lines to your code after og:image
<meta property="og:image:width" content="400" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="300" />
it must work
I have followed the official steps from Facebook to create my Like button, pointing to my Facebook page. But when clicking on the Like button to post to my Facebook wall, there is not photo being shown.
I have used the suggested meta tags, still no hope. Any advice is appreciated!
Edited:
The facebook popup is:
And have used the following meta tags:
<meta property="og:title" content="sample title" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.facebook.com/mypagename" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mydomain.com/images/productimage.jpg" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="sitename" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="123456789" />
Another example of this issue, when I use this:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
to generate the Like button, for
1. https://www.facebook.com/google - I will see the all the information like title, URL, description, and the image.
2. https://www.facebook.com/KFC - There isn't any information being displayed. This is exactly the same issue as I am facing.
Please advice.

For Facebook pages, you should use the Like Box plugin (as opposed to the Like plugin) as it is designed specifically for liking pages. It has more features aimed specifically for pages. See: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
I am facing problem with FB likes implemented with OG tags. When someone likes my website page it displays the newsfeed in my FB account (if liked by one of my friend). However, the problem is that feed does not display on my Friend's Timelines. It has been tried by 2-3 friends of mine and it does not display on their timelines although it displays in my newsfeeds that my friends has liked this link. Here is the code i am using for OG meta tags.
<meta property="og:title" content="News & Updates | The Art of Convergence | Sponsored by amdocs" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://mysite.com/news/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://mysite.com/artslogo2.jpg" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="sitename" />
<meta property="og:description" content="desp." />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="361690510529034" />
What can be the issue with this, Even if i liked the url myself, it does not display on my timelines.
Please Suggest ?
Thanks
Zack
Facebook has changed the behaviour of tje like button. Now if you want the link to appear on your timeline or on your friends' news feed, you need to add a comment aftrr you click the like button. AFAIK, theres no way to change this. At least using the like button. You may try using a cusyom share button though.
I have tried some of the older responses already posted on the site, but am still struggling to get the code to work.
I have developed a site using iweb, its basic - I am no coder, www.ondulinetileeffectroofingsheets.com , i have easily managed to insert a working video from youtube, and thought that simply copying and inserting the HTML snippet for the facebook like button would also work but the image fails to work, so when I copy and paste the from the facebook developers site, the Facebook image doesn't not appear. - any ideas - thanks in advance x ?
You are going to want to take a look at this link :
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
In there there are details of how to implement og:tags on your page. These tags help the Facebook to decide what image, text and links will be taken from your page to be displayed in the "like" dialog.
The tags look something like this :
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="YOUR_APP_ID" />
<meta property="og:type" content="YOUR_NAMESPACE:recipe" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Stuffed Cookies" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/zhen/cookie.jpg" />
<meta property="og:description" content="The Turducken of Cookies" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://example.com/zhen/cookie.html">
