In reply to: Facebook Like Button isn't work properlyJust released v1.9.6 with the new button style released yesterday (box_count) that shows a box on top of it (like a comic bubble) as mentioned by Mossack.
You can get it from here:

In reply to: [Plugin: Like] What is “Facebook Page ID” field in v1.9.4This new functionality is not yet documented by Facebook.
You can play with it and give us feedbacks however we’re pretty ahead of the curve (too much?) so I wouldn’t worry about it until Facebook gives some real docs and/or intent.For the functionality 2/ you want, I’m pretty sure it would be against Facebook’s way of using it.
They want the Like button to be close to what you actually like.
It makes sense as liking a specific post on your site doesn’t mean you like the whole site.
For people to like your whole website or your Facebook page, I suggest you use the Facebook Like Box (and not button), the way we do it on our blog:

with the “Find us on Facebook” badge on the right sidebar.Forum: Plugins

And you can configure it to show on home/posts/archives/search.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: how do you get the Like plugin working?It will happen if you specify a valid fb:app_id but the corresponding application is not properly setup as its Connect URL doesn’t end with a slash (/)
Check the FAQ: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/like/faq/

In reply to: Facebook-like “Like this” plugin?In the Like plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/like), just set the “Numeric Facebook ID” field to your own Facebook user ID (ex: 68310606562 and not markzuckerberg) and an “Admin” link will magically appear next to the button.
Don’t be afraid, you’ll be the only one to see this admin link.
It redirects to a Facebook page showing the fans of the very specific page.
You will need to “like” your own post to see the link (and also be logged in on Facebook with the same User you used in the Settings)
Be careful when you choose which User ID to use: once people like your page, it always has to appear first (but you can later on add more admin by adding their numerical Facebook ID separating them with commas).

In reply to: new facebook like plugin@fantasticweapon
You mean a Facebook page?
That’s what Facebook’s Like button is supposed to do: “mirror” your own page on Facebook itself.
But you see this page only because you own it and have the admin rights to it. And as admin from this Facebook page you can list everybody who liked your page and send them updates directly to their Facebook stream.
Otherwise all other users will be redirected directly to your blog page, no Facebook “ghost” page in the middle.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Is there a “Like Button” Plugin for WP 2.8.5 and Above?@fantasticweapon
Your are the only one seeing this page on Facebook because you are the Admin of the page (ie you entered your Facebook user id in the settings of the plugin). It’s actually a powerful tool for you.All the others will be redirected directly to your blog and never know about this Facebook page.
The goals of this Facebook page are mainly:
– sending updates to all Facebook users who liked a specific page on your blog
– getting statistics on people who liked your pages (age, sex, plot nice timeline graphs,…)You can then really target your users based on which specific page they like for announcements. It’s a powerful tool for bloggers.

In reply to: Adding HTML meta tags in the headerI actually found how to do it, it’s pretty straight forward:
1/ Register a function to be executed when the wp_head action fires:
add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘my_function’);
2/ Make the function echo whatever you want in the header:
function my_function()
{
echo ‘<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, nofollow”>’;
}Using this trick for the Facebook Like plugin, thanks to the smart Add Your Own Headers plugin that showed me pointers.
