Facebook like button issue

We're having some trouble getting our like button to work. It seemed to work last week but suddenly it's stopped working.

Basically when clicking "Like", we get an error saying:

You failed to provide a valid list of administators. You need to supply the administors using either a "fb:app_id" meta tag, or using a "fb:admins" meta tag to specify a comma-delimited list of Facebook users.

Our <head> section looks like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta property="fb:app_id" content="number"/> 
    <meta property="fb:admins" content="number"/> 
    <meta property="og:title" content="title"/> 
    <meta property="og:type" content="website"/> 
    <meta property="og:url" content="url with trailing slash"/> 
    <meta property="og:image" content="url to image"/> 
    <meta property="og:site_name" content="Site Name"/>
  </head>

Here are one method to solve your problem: -

1 Go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/ 2 In the Input URL paste your page URL where the like button is not working (e.g http://www.mywebsite.com/my-article/) 3 Click the Lint button That should do, now you can go and visit your page to try the Like button. 4 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. 5 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.
