I have a business facebook page, when I look at anyone elses page there is no like button, can anyone tell me why please?
Make sure you are logged in as a Facebook user and not as the business page. A business page is just that, a page, not a user, but you can log in as the page to do posts and manage things on your page.
Ok, got it figured out! If you are logged into Facebook as your "page" you will not see the like button. You need to be using Facebook as your main (personal) profile. Go to your page, then click the "Edit Page" drop down at the top and select your main account "Use Facebook as ..." then it should display the like button. It worked for me! If it doesn't work at this point, try logging out and logging back in again. Good luck! :)

I have a problem. I created an app in FB and then with that app I created a like button. FB says that I should see an admin link next to my like button on my website when I am logged in.
I have fb:app_id and fb:admins set up in meta, still I don'see the link. I would need it for two reason.
One is to acces the admin of the page so I can send messages for people who liked my site, also I want to set up a fanpage and once I could access the admin of the website likes according to the facebook documentation I could turn it into a fan page (FB page) this way not loosing the likes.
Thanks in advance
That functionality is deprecated, there's a migration guide on Facebook's developer site explaining how to move your OG pages to regular pages if you want to maintain part of that functionality
I am working with our web developer to integrate Facebook Likes (with comments) onto our website. However, he is having problems because FB doesn't work very well with sites where a log in is required. Currently when you click on the 'like' button the 'like' turns into 'confirm'. You then have to click on 'confirm' and another box appears showing how the like will appear on your FB page saying 'Click Like to post this to your profile' with the option of 'like' or cancel. If you click on 'like' then it allows the comment box to pop up then you can add a comment and post to FB.
There are currently too many clicks for this to work. Does anyone have any advice? Would it be better to just use straight likes with the number perhaps or is this a common problem with website that require a login. We just want users to be able to click once, add their comment and post it to FB.
Any help would be really apprecaited. If it is technical that is fine as I will pass replies onto my developer.
Many thanks
This will generally happen for URLs and sites that are new to the Facebook scraper. It is a security measure to prevent like-jacking that some sites have done in the past. You should ensure that you test your site fully with the Debug tool and after some confirmed 'likes', that step will be automatically removed and future users will just have to click like once.
Where you are gating content behind a login, I would additionally recommend that you show different HTML (including OG tags) for anything detected with the Facebook scraper User Agent (see When does Facebook scrape my page? on the Like Button FAQ) so that, for example, the OG tags for a product detail page are picked up correctly even though the scraper is technically not logged in.
I have successfully installed the facebook like button in iframe, but it seems like the "Likes" count is incorrect. I have tried liking a post from several accounts, and it always appear as only 1 like.
Any idea how to solve this?
I had a some "bug" with facebook like button.
First check yourt metas, and your og: properties. Put your url into a like button generator (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) and try to like your page. If the count is

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.
I just created a Facebook page for my blog and am working on adding the like button. I suppose my first question is, is there already a like button added to a Facebook fan page itself and the code for the like button is so you can create a like button on a whole different page, like my Blogspot blog page? Since I'm the admin I'm not sure if I'm seeing whatever else is. If not, I'd like to add a like button to my Facebook page for people to like, but for the life of my cannot figure out where to paste the code. I know it says behind the tag, but that doesn't mean anything to me. Please help.

On the Facebook page is a like button of course already integrated, on that page you can get code for your Blog or website.
Specifically, you're looking for this plugin:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
Specify the URL you want the like button to like, whether that be your blog post or your facebook page.
You are looking for the facebook Like Box.
