I have read many q&a's and forum posts across the net including Facebook Developer forum. I have setup open graph and FB code on my tag, tag, tags and installed the Facebook SDK after the tag.
Yet, I continually have to confirm Likes and then, many times, the like does not record. Further the pictures that appear in the Confirm window seem to come from a Facebook image vault when I have set the og:image to the be a screenshot of my site.
I have read about like-jacking, etc.
What is the trick to getting the Like button to work on a website?
Maybe they are detecting your site as likejacking, you can debug the url with the Facebook URL Debugger and it will delete the cached tags from your site
Good luck

I have a very very strange problem. I use a WordPress website to publish a picture every day, and of course, I want to publish it on my facebook page.
I've tried with Open Graph informations from Yoast, or from Jetpack and both but the problem is the same : no picture to show on social networks! Not a good thing for pictures based website ;-)
I've tried Open Graph debugger and when I look at this, I have a good link to my image on og:image property... but the picture doesn't display. It's a transparent picture to click that open the good image in a new link, but can't publish it on social networks.
You can try with this adress : http://social.1max2peche.com/belle-boule-de-mucus/
Put in the image URL directly (in the browser): http://www.1max2peche.com/design/magazine-peche-1max2peche-logo.png
Happens to at least 2 out of 3 images in the og:image tags, and it may be the problem. Also take a look at the image specifications: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#images
You see that it redirects, so of course Facebook cannot get it. Make sure to check out your rewrite stuff.
So I set up an App to handle open graph protocol setting for my website. I embedded the open graph protocol metadata into the site and I added a Facebook like button that ties to the home page. I ran it through the linter and everything looks good. But when I look at the administration interface in Facebook, it shows a different number of "likes" than on my page itself. Also I thought by setting it up in this way I would be able to see who liked my page as well. Finally, when I go to my website and I am logged into facebook, it does not show an "admin page" link which I thought it is supposed to do. I have been looking all over the Facebook developer documentation and cannot seem to find an answer. Thank you!
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'm new to facebook apps, and actually all I want is to add a 'contact us' tab to a 'like page' that I'm helping to manage. I have setup a server with PHP code, and opened an facebook app. (I left the SSL part empty because my server dose not support SSL.) And now I'm just trying to add the app to the page, but I can't find where... It's probably just a link I haven't noticed yet, but I can't find it.
I've googled around the internet, but all explanations I found where old, and didn't help me.
Just for clearness: I want to know how to add an existing facebook app to an existing facebook page
Thanks.

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
