Did you configure it with the Facebook API?

The API key does seem to be missing. It could either be a user or script error.
Because your iframe src looks like this

http://www.facebook. com/plugins/like.php?href=http://fb-hints.co.cc/home/&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light

but it should look like:

http://www.facebook. com/plugins/like.php?api_key=113869198637480&href=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2Freference%2Fplugins%2Flike

check your settings again and make sure you have the most up to date version of plugin that is compatible with your version of WP

the domain co.cc and even x10hosting.com is blacklisted from facebook. to try it, try to share the url of your website through your facebook account, it will cause an error.

even i m having the same problem when i try to add a like button to my website at x10hosting. But what do u mean by configure and setting page id etc.I just copied the iframe code for like button to my .htm page.Is there anything else need to be done??

I hv heard many other ppl also tellin that x10hosting is blacklisted by fb.But if u go to x10hosting home page, u can see the LIKE button there which works pretty fine

i think it was whitelisted, but the subdomains aren't. my website at co.cc used to have this problem, but now it's fixed, i still don't know about how it happened. i can share and like pages on my website now.

@pammy9398: I just visited your website and it seems like the Like buttons work just fine. You're using the iframe method.

If you used the Facebook iFrame version from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like or configured a plugin to use the iFrame version, no API key is required.

The API key is only if you use the XFBML version

When you visit a page that supposed to have the Like button, does it at least load properly? If it does, what happens when you click on it. If it loads properly, the button should work or show an error message.

I don't know about the blacklisted domain problem. I've seen blacklisted domains get liked before.

the XFBML version is almost the same with the iFrame version. when you put the XFBML code in your page and the facebook API script parses it, it just inserts the iframe code directly below the XFBML code, so theoretically, there won't be any significant difference aside from the XFBML code still present on the browser's DOM.

Based on my experience, the buttons will load even if you are blacklisted, the problem lies when you try to click them. The buttons wouldn't respond to the event, and if they do, they just revert back to their previous state. http://www.theaitenshiproject.co.cc/2010/11/07/the-agony-of-facebook-blacklisted-domains/
