I have a Facebook like button on my website, however as it works currently it only lets users like the page that they are currently on. Is it possible to make the button like our Facebook page instead of our website?

Go to the developers page which provides Social Plugin. There, just add at the "URL to Like" of the button, the address of your facebook page. E.g. http://www.facebook.com/mypage

enter image description here

This way, once the users push the like button, your facebook page will get automatically a like and they will also follow the updates of the facebook page

You can use the badge creator to create a badge for your page that a user can interact with for "like" purposes.

    Hmm, that's not exactly what I had in mind. You know how you can like a website, is there nothing that lets you like a Facebook page in the same manner without using Facebook badges? – Dwayne Charrington Mar 27 '11 at 23:53

    Ah, then [this](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) should work for you. Just use the URL for your page e.g. http://facebook.com/dwaynespage. – Matt Bishop Mar 27 '11 at 23:55

    Haha, I feel like an idiot. Why didn't I just think to put the url to the page in the like generator. Thanks Matt. – Dwayne Charrington Mar 28 '11 at 00:07

    No problem. There is also the "like box" generator [here](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/) if that suits you better. – Matt Bishop Mar 28 '11 at 00:08

This is because you haven't put your right page url in facebook like box generator. Go to you facebook page and copy the link from there. Now use this to generate facebook like box. You can also get help from this http://www.codematrics.com/my-website-and-facebook-page-have-different-likes/
