Like button doesn't stay selected / counter resets

uflavor Feb 21, 2012 05:40PM EST

Example:
http://www.uflavor.com/products/look-at-that

If you click Like, it will select it and show you a count of "1". If you refresh the page. It's unselected and the counter is reset. The button posts to Facebook fine, it's just on our website that it resets the counter.

If your Facebook Like button is constantly resetting to 0 try running your page through Facebook's URL debugger - https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug - and fix any warnings or errors that show up. Sometimes just running it through there will fix the issue.

If it's still happening try replacing our button with the button directly from Facebook - which you can get from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ - we'll still be able to track likes but you'll remove our implementation fo the button from the equation and will see if it's a problem with the JavaScript on your site.

I've tried all... using the Linter (the url) no warnings no errors, and using the original FB code... none of them. I'm using the same code in another website and it does work so is FB stuff

It's all because of OG (open graph) stuff. You have to add your meta og manually.
<meta property="og:site_name" content="http://welele.es/" />
<meta property="og:title" content="{PostSummary} - {Name}" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://welele.es/" />

And more... ;)
