So, researched this forum for the same problem, but still without success, any solutions haven't worked for me.
The problem is that we had four pages which ones have had like buttons. So we launched advertisement campaign, have collected some likes (more than 100 likes per page). Now we added one more like button for entire site and likes for these 4 pages now are equal to 0.
How this happened and where the likes disappeared? I'm new to this project so maybe I'm missed something (like metatags, app ids or etc.)?
Reverting project also haven't helped.
The pages I'm talking about (sorry, for separating links, but the editor wont allow me to post more than 2:
http://www.tradicinekolekcija.lt/
- index.php/kolekcijos-alus/old-port-ale/58
- index.php/kolekcijos-alus/baltijos/17
- index.php/kolekcijos-alus/ekstra-draught/16
- index.php/kolekcijos-alus/baltas/15
Your metadata is all right, you can check the data FB is scraping by using the debug tool. Just paste your pages' urls in https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug.
The problem is that in the like buttons you're always using data-href="http://www.tradicinekolekcija.lt/" so you're always showing the like button and the count of likes for the main page. Just update the code in each of the urls' like buttons to point to the right url (the same url of the page where the like button is).
This should fix the issue!

I have a problem that's been bugging me for a while now. I have a page with a Facebook Like button on it. When the visitor clicks on it, everything is working as it should. The user first logs in her Facebook account, and the right information is showing in the little iFrame that pops up. It has correct headline, url, image, and the possibility to add some text to the post.
But once posted on Facebook, the wall post doesn't show the description, instead it shows four rows with the text n/a. How come?
Some additional information:
I have set the followwing fields in the head section of the html, and
the Facebook debugger tool scrapes the correct information: og:title,
og:description, og:image, og:url, og:locale, og:type
Also, it always works for me and some others when liking it, but not
when person X or Y tries to share it, so it's kind of sporadic...
I use the Facebook js sdk.
In the Facebook debugger tool I get this warning: fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing. These tags are necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through rate. But I have read somewhere that this shouldn't be necessary in my case.
The description sometimes contains characters like Å, Ä and Ö.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
Thanks in advance!
Is there anyway to detect if the tab app is being loading in the new timeline or not? I got clients asking to upgrade my layout but not all of them have upgraded so it makes it hard to do that. If I had a way to detect this it would be perfect.
I managed to do that by looking for an album called "Cover Photos" on the album list of that page. Here's a sample:
http://graph.facebook.com/-page_id-/albums?fields=name
You don't need a token unless the page isn't published yet.
The problem with this approach is that some pages still don't have cover picture yet, but it's the minority.
I've implemented the facebook like button in my tumblr project - and it works well. However, one thing I have noticed is that when I backdate a post, ie so I can change the order the way it appears on the site, the facebook like button no longer works for that particular post. I've used the lint/debugger and it's not throwing any errors and there's been no change in the coding as it's been called in a loop and the facebook like button works for other posts. So does anybody know what's going on or if this is an issue I need to be aware of?
There was general problems between Tumblr and Facebook in the last days
but now it should work fine,
if you still get general problems then you can report about them as a comment in the main bug report here:
http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/134909119955013
and a link to your blog will be helpful.
I have a like button on my site, i have defined all the og: meta tags and its works for most of most pages, but doesnt for 2 other pages. Its using a template so its exactly the same code, how can it work for some but not all pages?
For the pages it doesnt work, it doesnt pick up the title, image, link or description, basically any of the meta tags information.

Any ideas?
One usual problem is caching. If you were testing and at some point had the wrong data in the metatags facebook will cache that info.
One simple wat to test if it is a caching issue is to add a random param at the end of the URL.
so www.yourpage.com/index.php?cacheBust=1
Running the Facebook Debugger often clears those kind of things up. It appears to refresh the FB cache when you do.
Looks like an issue was closed related to the question I'm about to ask, so I wonder if I'm going to be skating on thin ice, but here goes. I feel like even though this is kind of localized by nature, it could be a useful example for other developers dealing with the Like button.
I seem to be having issues regarding the Facebook like button. The infuriating part is that I'm pretty confident I have everything setup properly, and even though the linter says "hey, this all looks kosher!" the like button fails to get the correct content and uses cached info from a different page.
Here's the case: referlocal.com. We serve daily deals, and list them right off the homepage. There can be one of many deals listed on that homepage, so obviously Facebook is seeing just one when it goes to take a peek at the root directory. Now, on the homepage, whatever deal your viewing has a FB Like XFBML tag with href and ref attributes set. Every page that displays a deal also has OG tags pointing directly to the offer view page. Deals can also be viewed on user pages. So, on these three paths:
/
/{username}
/offers/{city}/{title-url-alias}
a like button is included as well as OG tags that point to /offers/{city}/{title-url-alias}. For about 3 weeks, the button worked like a champ. But recently, it's been performing strangely. For any deal, regardless of the 3 locations, it always uses the information cached from the previous days "/" deal. Regardless of the OG tags or origination.
Here's the wildly confusing part. The Facebook Linter is supposed to recache the information on the page, right? Well, it sort of does. It picks up on all of the appropriate information set in the OG tags, but when you click the Like button at the bottom of the page, no dice, still uses the deal FB saw on the homepage from the day before.
I know this is probably killing my argument for localization, but check this out:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/?url=http%3A%2F%2Freferlocal.com%2Foffers%2Fdallas%2Fget-20-of-authentic-italian-american-cuisine-for-only-10-at-leggios-italian-ristorante-dallas
Regardless of the fact that the linter finds all the appropriate information, the like button at the bottom still is liking a deal FB cached from the previous day.
Any ideas?
I had this problem too. The linter caches things in a very weird manner - seems like the best thing to do is either to add a query string and change it every time, or just rename the file every time you're checking.
