Facebook "Like" produces "There was an internal error when updating the Page."

Question

I added a like button to my blog a few months ago and things have been working perfectly. Suddenly I added a new post this morning, and for whatever reason, the like button is now broken. Everytime I click "Like" I receive this error:

There was an internal error when updating the Page.

There is no additional information.

I used Facebook's LINT and the meta info comes through perfectly, only the same vague error appears:

http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alifewortheating.com%2Fparis%2Flambroisie-revisited

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone experienced this before?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Facebook, last I checked, requires the og:admins <meta> property.

Answer 2

I'm curious how you got this working also? I have encountered this same issue.

Answer 3

Hello,

for me helped removing meta-tag with property="og:type". Earlier it was on my page:

<meta property="og:type" content="product"/>

As referring to this page (like btn section): http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/

If you’re interested in gaining distribution for content or giving users the ability to like a virtual good, you should not include the og:type tag. In this case, a stream story will still be published when your users like your content, but your URL will not be equivalent to a Facebook page. This means you will not have the ability to publish to users, and your pages will not show up on users' profiles.

If your canvas URL represents a real-world object (e.g. a cause, movie, product), add the appropriate og:type tag. In this case your canvas URL will be equivalent to a Facebook page. In addition to stream distribution, when a user likes your page you will have the ability to publish updates to them, and your URL will show up on users' profiles.
