Facebook Business LIKE box is giving an Open Graph error

You supplied an Open Graph type via one of the supported meta tags, but the type you specified "link" is not valid.

The above is the error I get when the "LIKE" button is clicked.

I tried to set all sorts of OG meta tags. You can see the code live at http://luxe.sonikastudios.com

I looked at many different forums etc. but no clear answer is given. I don't even have an og type "link" specified.

I put my page through the linter provided by Facebook (http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/) and I don't see any errors coming up as far as I can tell (but then I don't even know what this screen is supposed to look like in case there is an error).

Any help would be appreciated.

I think it doesn't like your <meta property="fb:link"> tag. Where did you get it from?

Just remove everything and leave only required params listed here. I would also recommend setting type to article. See if that works. If it does then start adding new params one by one until it fails.

Doesn't work.. removed the fb:link parameter and changed it to article. The link you listed is for JUST the "like" button being embedded. This is a whole widget sitting within an iFrame, and I followed the guidelines from one of the Facebook pages, copy-pasted the whole block, and modified the contents of the meta tags... :(

@jeffkee so do you still get the same error?

Yup exact same error, nothing changed!

So.. I gave up, left the code as-is.. and after a few days it started working. Weird. Maybe FB has some odd way of caching the source pages, and needs some time to work it out?

@jeffkee no idea. facebook is not exactly know as the most stable system out there.

Appears to be a known FB Bug: http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/process_bug.cgi
