FB Like button does not post to facebook and shows a red ERROR next to the button after you click like.

There is something wrong with Facebook. I tried today with Facebook Like Button module, and had the same problems like chrisitguy describes.

Then I tried to generate code on Facebook Social Plugins site

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

and pasted it into template. And it gave the same result. No post
on FB and red error.

I was getting this error only on certain nodes. I determined that nodes that have any sort of special character in the URL path alias can cause the "like" action to fail. So, make sure you are not using anything except standard characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, dash, underscore) in your URL path aliases.

I get the very same error and there are no spaces or special characters in my node's URL.

Is your URL publicly visible? Facebook will try to fetch some information, when you hit the like button for the first time. If facebook is not able to reach your site it will produce an error.

I have the same exact issue. The site is publicly available and i made sure the URL is looks normal. If i use facebook code and create an iframe the connection works perfectly.

Any thoughts?

Update: The strange thing is that i can reply on the "like", and that reply is posted on facebook. The "like" unfortunately is not.

It's hard to help like this. If the url is public available, would you mind sharing it?

I've got the same error,
the module was installed on January 1st and worked eversince,
but since last week I noticed that the static like button doesn't work
[it shows: "Be the first of your friends to like this." and after you click it, it sais: You like this website. · Error" ]

The dynamic like button [under nodes and content] still works fine.

facebook lint sais:
Like Button Warnings That Should Be Fixed

Admins And App ID Missing: 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 clickthrough rate.
Like Button Tag Missing: og:title is missing. The og:title meta tag is necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high clickthrough rate.
Like Button Tag Missing: og:type is missing. The og:type meta tag is necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high clickthrough rate.
Like Button Tag Missing: og:image is missing. The og:image meta tag is necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high clickthrough rate.

Open Graph Warnings That Should Be Fixed

Inferred Property: The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The 'og:title' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

I have been having the same issue. What I think may be the cause is:

The dynamic Like buttons that do not work are on pages that Google has not yet indexed. The dynamic Like buttons that are working, are indexed..

Can anyone confirm this theory?

The facebook like button won't have anything to do with google.
and all our problems are with the STATIC facebook, not the dynamic - the index page will be long indexed…

However … today, without doing anything, the static button works again AND remembers all the old data.
My guess, and the only possibility, is that facebook had an issue and they resolved it.

I'm having the same problem. Facebook lint shows this:

Like Button Tag Missing: og:title is missing. The og:title meta tag is necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high clickthrough rate.

Like Button Tag Missing: og:image is missing. The og:image meta tag is necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high clickthrough rate.

The liked url does appear on facebook profile, but it doesn't retrieve images or description text. Could it be the config on the facebook app settings?

I'm using Drupal for Facebook

It sounds like this issue may be in the wrong queue.
