Question

I am facing an issue with FB “Like” button. I used below code to add “Like” functionality to my page. I used Object Id of the post in href (see below code)

<fb:like href="PAGEID_240688205986585" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="450" action="like" colorscheme="light" /> 

But Once I click Like button the post will get liked on FB but the Post To Facebook prompt comes with below message You like PAGEID_240688205986585. The URL is an invalid URL.

Any thoughts on this issue????

Answer 1

The href should be a webpage e.g. http://www.stackoverflow.com. Facebook doesn’t understand what PAGE_ID_240688205986585 is, as its not a valid URL. Enter your website as the href parameter and it will work.

For more information about the Facebook Like button, see their documentation.
