How to show facebook like button even if user isn't logged into Facebook?

Currently, the code <div class="fb-like" data-href="https://facebook.com/myappurl" data-send="false" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false"></div>

Only shows the like button if I am logged into Facebook in the browser. How do I get it to display even if the user is logged out?

Like wordpress.org for example...See the bottom left hand corner of the page.

Thanks in advance!

Best, Alex

The only situation where a like button will not show up (assuming it has been implemented properly) is if the page that is to be liked is a Facebook page that has a restriction placed on it. This includes country and age restrictions. If your Facebook page has a restriction, the user needs to be logged in to Facebook so that the user can be verified as to be allowed to see the like button.

It displays regardless of whether a user is logged in or not. If the user is not logged in and clicks on Like, they get a popup that says

"You must log in to see this page."

Are you sure you're including the fb-root div and the Javascript?

<div id="fb-root"></div>

<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=Your-App-ID-HERE";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
