Time to time and randomly y get wrong like counter lectures inside my site. It occurs in different articles randomly, like restarting the counter, without notice and also sometimes , after a couple of days it recover the right number and sometimes not.

I use joomla 3.2 with standard articles, but that happened me in the past in another site with j25.

Is there something I am doing wrong, is there some kind of solution ?

My site is tunuevainformacion.com

Thx in advance :)

If you ever see the wrong count, copy down the URL *exactly* how it is and then compare it to the right URL.

Facebook's Like counts are stored per URL. So, if your URL is different, the count will be different for that URL, even if the content is the same.

JFBConnect does do some things to modify the URL we send to Facebook, like removing specific query string values that don't change the content of the page. Sometimes, we miss a value that we should be stripping or Joomla is generating multiple URLs to get to the same page. There's not much we can do about this latter example as it's not possible for JFBConnect to know what the 'correct' URL should be.

I hope that helps explain. In general, watch your URLs and see if they're behaving as you expect.

Thanks,
Alex
