I'm trying to fix a problem with the Facebook like button not showing on some urls on our site. It was working fine on all URLs until about a week ago.
It seems to be pretty inconsistent.
Currently i can see the like button on this URL
http://www.chargrilled.co.uk/t-shirts/I-See-Dumb-People-t-shirt.m
But not this URL
http://www.chargrilled.co.uk/t-shirts/Tea-Is-For-Mugs-t-shirt.m
From testing I have found that removing the www from the URL tends to fix the issue but obviously the like counts are different (usually 0).
Strangely when you go to the facebook like button page (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) and enter the second URL (above) the like button disappears even there.
Have tried so many different things, including stripping all other HTML, CSS and JS off of the page apart from the FB code and still no joy!
Your url is showing up in the debugger with no errors.
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chargrilled.co.uk%2Ft-shirts%2FTea-Is-For-Mugs-t-shirt.m
suggestion: urls which appear not to be upto date, run them in the url debugger logged in as the admin account and Facebook will scrape the page for metatags.
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
NOTE: If a user adds first like to a button, Facebook could take upto 24 hours to scrape the page or og tags, if an admin creates first like, it is done instantly. After first like either way, Facebook re-scrapes the page about every 24-72 hours.

Are your site's pages protected with an .htaccess password? If so, that could be the issue. I ran into this problem myself, and after going down the wrong path for a bit, I went back to my initial suspicion - htaccess password.
I didn't really look into the code, but I assume the button is set to have FB scrape the page after a user clicks like. With the password blocking things, FB can't scrape the page. Rather than displaying the button as if it hadn't been clicked, it just displays nothing - which is where my, and I assume your, confusion came in.
After changing htaccess, you'll have to wait 24 hours for the page(s) to be scraped by FB when they're loaded. However, you can use the FB debugger (http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) to manually scrape individual pages.
Trying to obtain a "like box" code to apply to our website. When I enter the facebook url of our page (copy/paste from browser), I am getting an error telling me that it is incorrect. I have tried several variations of urls thinking that it was because I was logged into our account but nothing has worked. What am I doing wrong?
On the page to obtain the code for the like box, it asks for facebook page url. I pasted in the url that was in the address bar of our homepage and when that didn't work, I tried variations of our name but none of it has worked. Our facebook page is Harrison Mechanical & Electrical, Inc. I've tried facebook.com/pages/Harrison-Mechanical-Electrical-Inc/…, tried taking off the numbers at the end, tried removing "pages", tried facebook.com/harrison, facebook.com/harrisonmechanical, facebook.com/harrisonmechanical&electrical.....
I worked fine for me.
<div class="fb-like-box" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Harrison-Mechanical-Electrical-Inc/290514827625424" data-width="500" data-show-faces="true" data-stream="true" data-header="true"></div>
Maybe your app id of the app you have is still in sandbox mode?
I've got a Drupal website with articles on them which have Facebook like buttons.
Now I've got all the OpenGraph metatags added on the pages and it's all working perfectly except for one thing.
Site visitors can share a page URL or like a page URL.
When a new article is added and the first person who presses the like button will not see the image added in the og:image tag.
If another person afterwards presses the like button, the og:image however is visible so it seems to me Facebook needs to scrape the page first before the og:image is added in the 'Facebook Like window'.
The Facebook share doesn't seem to suffer from this problem and does it right from the first time.
Now whenever somebody adds a new article, I'd need the URL of the article to be scraped automatically by Facebook using some PHP code or some other fix...
Anyone who knows if autoscraping a URL is possible or does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
You can use the graph API with scrape=true to force Facebook to scrape you right when you create your contents
