I have read through the forum's questions and answers regarding disappearing "Likes". I haven't seen any responses that seem to explain why my site's "Likes" disappeared, or whether I can recover them. (I'll be the first to admit that my not finding an answer doesn't mean one isn't there for the finding if I had enough time/energy to pore over every single search result - or understood most of them.)

The "Like" button is linked to my main page: www.carjersey.net. While I have changed/modified content on this and other pages of my site, the site address itself has not changed. I don't understand why the "Likes" just went away. Is there any way to recover them? Granted my site has been slow getting off the ground in that we only had approximately 60 or so "Likes" (if memory serves), I would still like them displayed - be they ever so humble.
Thanks,
Sean

Sean,
Generally, the Like count changes when the URL structure for a page changes. It shouldn't really change on your home page as that shouldn't change much. However, with that said, I did a little bit of playing around. Using the Facebook Like configuration tool , I plugged in a lot of common values for what might be your home page. With and without www, with and without http://, using https, etc. I finally came upon one URL that showed 65 Likes:
www.carjersey.net/index.php
I'm not sure how you were implementing the Like button before, it seems you wer including the index.php in the path to the page. I'm assuming you were doing something else and moved to using JFBConnect. Either way, to show that Like count, you'd need to update the JFBCLike button to include the index.php as well. That shouldn't be a problem, but it's up to you as that will show the index.php in any links that show up in a user's feed after they've Like'd your page.

Hope that helps explain,
Alex
