Facebook Like Button not working

[texasgirl]

I have read and re-read until my eyes are starting to cross, and I still can't find the solution to my problem.

I attempted to add Facebook Like buttons to all my product pages. After trying a few methods, I found success -- until my mom tested it for me. She logged in to Facebook and clicked the "like" button on one of my product pages.

Nowhere on her Facebook page does it show that she liked that product. No link to the product, no mention of it on her news feed.

Surely I am missing something somewhere. Help is appreciated!

Sorry! Here's one of my product pages:

It does work if the user posts a comment.

Hmm … well, that's good. Now at least I know what to look for -- a like button that doesn't require a comment.

Thanks for the info!

This is what I've done, it works for me and was extremely simple, but I only have the like button on my Home Page. It does, however, post to the person's FB page without a comment having to be entered.

To Add a "Like" button to your Main Page:

From your Zen Admin select Tools & Choose Define Pages Editor and select define_main_page.php from the drop down.

At the top of this box paste the following code:

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

And then, wherever you want the button to show on the page you would paste the following:

<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.yourwebaddress.com" data-send="false" data-width="550" data-show-faces="true"></div>

*be sure to change the web address in the div to your web address*

This may not be exactly what you're looking for but it may be something you can easily put up which will still allow posting from your visitors until you find the answer you are looking for. I'm sure you'll find your answer soon if you haven't found it already, the help on here can be amazing!

I finally got the Facebook "like" button to appear on each product page, and when I ran a test (logging in to my mom's FB account), I was able to like an item. Her name showed up on my product page, saying that she likes it.

The problem is that there is no mention of her liking my product on her Facebook page. Not on her wall, not in her news feed, nada. Since I want folks to "spread the word" about my store on FB, it's important that my products show up on their pages when they like them.

I don't know if the glitch is in her FB settings (hiding her likes, maybe) or, as I suspect, in my code.

I'm using v1.3.9h with ZenFlavor's free template, which I have modified.

Here's a link to one of my product pages -- I'd appreciate it if someone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks so much!

Sorry, I think I had posted this in the wrong category (business) -- maybe this is a better place.

Worked just fine. The link appeared on my profile page just as it should.

Thanks for your help, RescoCCC.

I kept testing it, trying to fix issues that kept popping up -- either the product photo wouldn't load, or the product name was put in twice, or the product description was missing. Sometimes it worked, most of the time it didn't.

I also kept getting error messages, and it seems the problem is lack of verification on my FB page account. Well, I refuse to give FB either my cell phone # or credit card, so that issue won't be resolved.

Given the upcoming changes to FB, I've decided to just delete my store's FB page. I think I'll take my chances marketing with Twitter -- it's much less demanding. I have a few friends on FB that I can email my store's URL and ask them to spread the word.
