Facebook Like Button dont appear

Alright. In this case, delete the plugin you uploaded earlier, and use this one instead:

Great, that is exactly what I needed, thank you! What i have noticed however is that against the ‘Like’ button you show a number which I believe represents the number of times the blog post was shared, not liked.

That number comes directly from Facebook, we do not have control over it. Facebook’s counts always include a total of all the shares, likes, and comments on shared posts.

I hope this clarifies things a bit.

thanks Jeremy for the cool little plugin – just what I was looking for!

Hi Jeremy,

Great job for making this plugin: https://github.com/jeherve/like-share-facebook-jetpack, exactly what I’m looking for. However, the like button seems to behave like the share one. I got people who like more than they share and vice versa. When I tried hitting the like button it registered under the share one. Are they not the same? The like button should have its own number of likes showing. My wish this New Year is to have a like button with its own number of likes and a separate share button with people’s share counts as well. Really need your help here, please. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

Thanks Jeremy for the effort. I do however think that the numbers coming from Facebook are individual like counts and individual share counts. You can check my page here https://www.propertyresolved.com.au/the-journey-begins/ and you will be able to see that the SumoMe displayes those counts separately. I wish your plugin could also do it and it was a standard feature as part of the Jetpack install. For bloggers those 2 things are very different and important in their own way. Thanks

@kenfox101 That’s not really an option I’m afraid. Facebook doesn’t offer that kind of option in their API; their sharing counts group shares and likes under a single number.

@dsbelousov SumoMe seems to use their own app and I don’t have access to the queries they make to retrieve that data.

However, Facebook doesn’t offer any official way to get separate counts anymore. The latest version of their Graph API, 2.8, groups all the counts into a single number:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.8/url

Here is what such a query looks like for your post:
https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.propertyresolved.com.au%2Fthe-journey-begins%2F

Previous versions of the API (until 2.1) offered separate numbers, but those versions of the API are now deprecated.

Although this was reported to the Facebook developers as a bug, it was recently closed by the Facebook team as the current implementation appears to be by design:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/748651458568287/

The SumoMe devs may know of a work-around to get that data, but I don’t know of an official way to get that data I’m afraid.

Now I understand. Thank you for your time.

Hi guys, thanks for your useful post.
Is there a way to hide or get rid of “Share” button? I’d like to have ONLY “Like” button.
Waiting for your kind reply, have a nice day! ??

@alemarengo84 You can use this little plugin to add an additional Facebook Like button to your sharing options, but without the Share option next to it:
