Facebook like button problem

Mhm, basically the facebook-button is working correctly because the forum is placed inside one wordpress-page but you navigate inside it via URL-parameters.

I am not sure but maybe you can try to use some facebook-wordpress-plugins which are adding like-buttons? Maybe with them there is a better compatibility?

Thank you for the answer. I generated the Facebook like button here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button and they give the code like this:

<div class=”fb-like” data-href=”LINK ADDRESS” data-width=”500″ data-layout=”button_count” data-action=”like” data-show-faces=”false” data-share=”false”></div>

The only different is the link address. I tried it with pages’ addresses and it works fine, I tried with WordPress posts’ addresses and it also works correctly.

But when I used the threads’ addresses, it works like they are the same address so liking one button will result in liking all other buttons (they don’t count separate).

It’s so strange so I thinks it’s better to let you know about this issue. I will try to find something with plugins instead.

Thank you very much.

Can you give me the link to you forum-page? I want to check something.

Sure, https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/forum/

Here I created 4 Like buttons for different addresses, you can see that the 2 with forum addresses are counted together while the other pages are counted separately: https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/test/

Btw I tried several plugins but they all create the Like button for the specific post inside that post, in my case I would like to have many Like buttons that show up on 1 page and point to different pages ??

Can you please deactivate the “logged-in users only”-option so I can have a look? ??

Oh sorry ??

Where do you have the like-button at the forum page? I cant see them anywhere.

The like buttons point to forum’s threads, not in the forum. As I said in the comment above, you can look at this page https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/test/

The 2 first like buttons point to the threads’ addresses:

<div class=”fb-like” data-href=”https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/forum/?view=thread&id=99&#8243; data-width=”500″ data-layout=”button_count” data-action=”like” data-show-faces=”false” data-share=”false”></div>

<div class=”fb-like” data-href=”https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/forum/?view=thread&id=19&#8243; data-width=”500″ data-layout=”button_count” data-action=”like” data-show-faces=”false” data-share=”false”></div>

They are different forum topics, but the like button consider them as 1 page.

Maybe the information here can help you:

Thank you so much for looking at my problem.

I checked the Facebook Sharing debugger tool and it says that the fetched URL https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/forum/?view=thread&id=99 returns the canonical URL https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/forum/ which is a page with the shortcode [forum].

Like button works almost the same way as SEO checkers. I see that the forum can count views for each thread so it’s possible to differentiate each topics, but I don’t know if it’s a way for users to do the same ??

No I think it has something to do with the generated canoncial tags in your html-head.

I looked at the link and related links you provided, people say that Facebook like button ignore URL parameters, others say it does not, need correct parameters. Anyway the asgaros forum’s parameters are perfect, I applied javascript method encodeURI() to the links for sure and they stay the same.

Yeah the links are fine, but the canoncial-url in your html-head links to your yourwebsite.com/forum page and not to the full link. Thats why this page is used. Maybe it is possible to fix/configure this via a seo-plugin. Maybe I can override this by myself. I dont know yet because this can have a big impact on other existing content.

I changed the Permalinks of the website to Plain view like https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/?page_id=199 and facebook could read the parameters and return the canonical URL as https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/?page_id=199. But when it comes to the forum’s URL, the fetched URL https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/?page_id=159&view=thread&id=139 returns the canonical https://luckystarshotel.ru/wp/?page_id=159.
