Number of Likes on Facebook article and Fast Social Share do not match Karma: 0  
We just noticed that the # of times an article is liked on facebook & the # that's displayed on the website under the title of the article in the Facebook like button is not the same. For example this article (http://jewishlinknj.com/food/14192-hardest-worker-in-teaneck-celebrates-cedar-market-s-third-anniversary) has 162 likes on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/JLinkNJ/) itself but the webpage like button only shows 3.

Why is this huge difference? Can you please check the same and let me know the issue?

This is normal due to how Facebook works.

Facebook treats them as different objects, so the number of likes is independent too.

Thank you so much for the quick response. But ideally, is there a way we can force the plugin to display the same likes as facebook?

No as i said that's not possible, it's not related to the plugin but to how facebook treats objects.
