I have implemented Facebook Open Graph Protocol Full Integration following the http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/ and http://www.websitedesign411.com/blog/facebook-open-graph-protocol-full-integration-walkthrough.

The Like buttons work and show in the Facebook feeds except for one page www.giantmango.com/contest. I have tried several alternatives like manually entering the content for the meta tags and an else statement for pages, but I am unable to get Facebook to recognize this page. Any ideas?

<?php } elseif (is_page()) { ?>
        <meta property="og:title" content="「I LIKE CREATORS」 アートチャリティー&コンテストへようこそ！" />
        <meta property="og:type" content="article" />
        <meta property="og:description" content="「I LIKE CREATORS」 アートチャリティー&コンテストへようこそ！ 売上の一部は児童養護施設に寄付いたします。2011年2月21日(月)から2月28日(月)好きな作品に投票をして、抽選で10名様にアメリカ生まれのナチュラルケアブランド「バーツビーズ」の福袋またはハンドサルヴが当たります。" />

  • It's working just fine, check the Facebook [URL Linter](http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgiantmango.com%2Fcontest) – ifaour Feb 21 '11 at 14:31
  • @ifaour: When I type in the url in a message in Facebook, links usually have a description. Other links on giantmango.com have descriptions too, but this page giantmango.com/contest does not show one. – tokyowp Feb 21 '11 at 14:36
  • @tokyowp: it's showing the description: http://i53.tinypic.com/2qdo57p.png – ifaour Feb 21 '11 at 14:46
  • Then it's a caching problem and URL Linter solved it. ;-) – ifaour Feb 21 '11 at 14:49
  • possible duplicate of [Trouble with page title, like count, and page url](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5037400/trouble-with-fblike-page-title-like-count-and-page-url) – ifaour Feb 21 '11 at 14:51
  • @ifaour: How to solve "possible duplicate of Trouble with page title, like count, and page url"? and is the caching problem with my site or Facebook? – tokyowp Feb 21 '11 at 16:14
  • you can't, just up-vote it if you found the answer helpful. and Facebook caches your page data...so it's Facebook related. – ifaour Feb 21 '11 at 16:18
  • @ifaour: upvote = "this is a great comment"? There needs to be a check button for situations like this so I can close this question. – tokyowp Feb 21 '11 at 16:26
  • I thought you are talking about the other question. Now about this, lets hope other SOers with rep 3000+ vote to close this question. – ifaour Feb 21 '11 at 22:49
  • @ifaour: Thank you again for the URL Linter info. It solved my problem. If you put an answer to this, I can click the check mark. – tokyowp Feb 22 '11 at 02:10

As mentioned in the comments of this answer, it's a caching problem and quoting from Facebook (Editing Meta Tags):

For the changes to be reflected on Facebook, you must force your page to be scraped. The page is scraped when an admin for the page clicks the Like button or when the URL is entered into the Facebook URL Linter.

So basically when I tested your page in the URL Linter, Facebook grabbed (scraped) the current data for the open graph meta tags.
