Facebook How the button is not displayed / displayed in any browser

We have a problem with the Facebook button that is not displayed / displayed on this page:

http://powertextblog.esvelte.net/

It seems that the generated span and iframe have an inline width style: 0px and height: 0px, I tried to override this to no avail.

The button does not appear in any browser.

This is the code we use on the page (from AddThis) to generate the button.

<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count" addthis:url="http://www.facebook.com/PowerText"></a>

I also tried to insert a Facebook button using the button using my own Facebook button generator, but the same problem occurs (which indicates its not a AddThis problem)

Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem, I tried everything until I realized that it was really stupid. If your facebook page has any restrictions, such as country restrictions or age restrictions, facebook does not show the type button if you are not logged in.

I think this is a Facebook bug causing the problem.

Removing the specific addthis URL: url = "http://www.facebook.com/PowerText" and using the site domain instead fixes the problem.

So, I think there is some FB error where defining the URL as a page on Facebook makes it not display, as it works fine without it.

Try using this facebook as code that should work.

 <a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count" fb:like:action="recommend" fb:like:width="135"></a>

There was the same problem yesterday. Then I played with widgets at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button a while. It turned out that this happened only with the URLs on Facebook (I like the URL). Even https://facebook.com/facebook itself did not work correctly. Just displayed using 0px. All other URLs worked as expected. Tried to reach FB on Twitter, and they sent this link to the submitted problem. Which says the error is known and corrected.

So we just had to wait. After one night the next morning, all Like buttons with the URLs of the Facebook page are displayed correctly again.
