We are having an issue with the Facebook like button not showing/displaying, on this page:

http://powertextblog.esvelte.net/

It appears that the span and iframe that are generated have an inline style of width:0px and height:0px , I have tried overriding this to no avail.

The button is not showing in any browser.

This is the code we're using on the page (from AddThis) to generate the button.

<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count" addthis:url="http://www.facebook.com/PowerText"></a>

I also tried inserting the Facebook like button using Facebook's own button generator, but the same problem occurs (which would indicate its not an AddThis issue)

Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem, tried everything until I figured out that was something really stupid. If your facebook page has any restriction, like Country restrictions or Age restrictions, facebook does not show the like button if you are not logged in.
