Possible Solution:
- Go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/

- In the Input URL paste your page URL where the like button is not working (e.g http://www.mywebsite.com/my-article/)

- Click the Lint button

That should do, now you can go and visit your page to try the Like button.

- IF it still does not work, when the Lint tool shows you the result. Scroll all the way down and you will see that there is a Like button.
- Click that Like button (basically you are liking the flawed page)

That should solve it. If not, then you probably have to wait for facebook to fix it.

** The tiresome part of this is that you have to do this for all the URLs/Pages where Like button is not working. But once you do it, it will work for everyone (you & visitors).

I do not have large blogs, so I used this method to fix them all. I hope it helps someone too.

My Facebook Like Button Doesn’t Work!
The first thing to do if your Facebook Like button stops working is to troubleshoot it and rule out possible causes. I started with the most likely cause, the code on my site. My Like button had been working before, and I didn’t purposefully make any changes to the code. But just to be safe I looked at the code on my site. It looked valid, and I confirmed this by checking the Facebook Developer site. No problems with the code stood out. I even copied the code for the Like button right from the Facebook Developer page and tried using that instead of my current code, but my Facebook like button was still not working.

Facebook Like Button Working Again?
The next troubleshooting step I took was to use the Facebook URL Linter tool. The URL Linter was created by Facebook as one of their developer tools as a way to debug problems with the Like button and other Facebook social sharing widgets. If your Facebook Like button doesn’t work, and you’ve already checked your own code, this is a great tool to provide you additional details to help figure out the problem. I didn’t find anything out of the ordinary when I ran my post URL through the Linter tool, however, after running it my Facebook Like button started working again on that URL! I checked another post where the Facebook Like button problem wasn’t working, and it was still broken. So, I ran the Linter tool on it and the Like button was fixed on that post too. Finally, a solution!

How to Fix the Facebook Like Button on Your Website
If your Facebook like button is not working, or you’re having problems with your Like button “unliking” itself when you click it, here are some easy steps to fix the problem:

Go to the Facebook URL Linter Tool on the Facebook Developer website
In the “Input URL” field, enter the URL of your page or post where the Facebook Like button isn’t working
Click the “Lint” button
That’s it! Now, go check the Like button at the URL you linted and it should be working again. While this Facebook Like button fix is quick and easy, the downside is you’ll need to run it on each post or page where your Like button is broken. This is only a problem if you have an large site and the Facebook Like button is having problems on many of your posts (in some cases it’s only broken on a few posts / pages).

If for some reason the URL Linter fix I detailed above doesn’t fix your Facebook Like button, it should still provide you with extra details and any error messages that should help you fix it.

What Caused Your Facebook Like Button to Break?
Honestly, I’m still not 100% sure what the root cause of this issue is. It appears to be caused by something on Facebook’s servers. My best guess is the URL Linter fix I stumbled on is able to fix the broken Like buttons because when you run it on a URL it retrieves information on how that particular URL will be shared on Facebook (title, description, which thumbnail image, etc) when someone shares or likes it. When it fetches this data, it also updates the cache of that data on Facebook’s servers. This could be the reason why the URL Linter is able to fix broken Like buttons.
