You're using the ITP Share plugin, which is fine, but will need a slight change in configuration. Please open that up, and in the parameters, disable the "Include Facebook Javascript API" and "Include Facebook Root Tag", or something similar. They're re-including the Facebook Javascript library that we're already doing, which will cause conflicts with JFBConnect.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Hi alex,
I had made the suggested changes in ITP share plugin,but it doesn't help.. Further I had hide the facebook like button in ITP share, but still no help.
Please note that this problemis not with all articles, only some of the articles, which do not have a image in the articles.
when u click onthe facebook like, an error occurs, and when u click on the error, it shows the error description
"Your page's type requires that a meta tag of the form <meta property="og:image" ...> be present.
"
I felt its some bug with open graph , i even disbled opengraph, but still the error continues. :(

I'm honestly not sure of the cause of that, but since it's saying that you need an Open Graph image tag, I'd definitely recommend re-enabling the Open Graph integration within JFBConnect. Additionally, set a default image for your site to use so that if one isn't found in the article or specifically specified, that an image will be available to Facebook.

As for why this is requiring an image, looking at the linter tool on Facebook, it's seeing that in the title of your page is the word "Rights" and is therefore thinking the type of page is meant to describe "rights" (like a privacy policy, intellectual property, etc), and therefore requires an image when posting. In JFBConnect 3.4.1, we default the type property to website, which doesn't require an image. If you're using a version before that, you should also set a default type in the Open Graph box:
type=website

Once setup, re-lint your page (below) and hopefully, the Like button will start working. If not, let us know:

Good luck,
Alex
