Can you make sure you're still seeing this issue with new Like's on that page? I just Like'd it, and what shows up in my wall is below. You can see where the URL will take you in the address bar at the bottom, and it does indeed go to that page when clicked:

If you're still seeing that with the same account, try a different Facebook account. Facebook doesn't like it when a site changes the URL on a user as that can seem fishy, so it's possible they're using the original URL you shared instead of the properly updated one. Can't guarantee that, but just a thought. Still not sure why the apps URL
was being used, but again, I'm not seeing that now.

Thanks,

I visited your page through several different FB accounts, and the *upper* link to Old Country Tailor was pointing to apps.facebook.com/oldcountrytailor instead of just oldcountrytailor.com in every case. The large link next to the photo always worked fine; it's the upper one I'm concerned with.

I've also tried using the Recommend button from multiple FB accounts and it does the same thing.

Otakushark,
Honestly not sure, never really played with that link before. However, can you try to remove the Canvas URLs from your Facebook application and see if that makes the link go to your site? My guess is that *if* you have a Canvas view setup for your app, Facebook will want to use that URL instead of your homepage. Just like you want to keep users on your site, Facebook wants to keep users on theirs.

After you make the change, re-use the Debugger on your page and you may need to even Like a new article to test with.

Let us know how that goes, as we're curious too!

Thanks,
Alex
