Facebook Like Button

I'm trying to figure this out. I've figured out how to make a button where visitors can "like" my facebook page. But what about a button where they are not liking the facebook page, but instead or liking only say, an individual post, or an individual page (wordpress).
Do I make that button somewhere else?
tks

    If you are using Wordpress for your site, then they have a variety of plugins that you can configure to automatically display like buttons on your pages and posts.

    Here's a link to 35 of the best Facebook Plugins for Wordpress. Some are free and some are premium.

    Each like button links to a specific URL, if you have many pages you can put a PHP variable in each like button instead of putting a new link.
    That is if your making your own website, if your using Wordpress or any other CMS then you can find plugins that will do that for you.

    Example of using a php variable:

    $id = $db_connetion['id']; <---- this connects to the table where each ID is set to each post.

    <div class="fb-like" data-href="mywebsite.com/post_<?php echo $id; ?>" data-send="false" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false"></div>

    Good luck!

        No, leaving the URL field blank tells the code to use the current URL as the default.

    What's frustrating about their like button is that it dissapears if the person is not logged into facebook... For that reason I have to go and remove it.

    I use the Add-to-Any plugin. It has an easy to configure option to break specific share buttons out of its default bar. On my sites, I have the share bar, plus the Like button, the +1 button, and StumbleUpon -- but they have a large list of buttons to choose from. I think the bar itself is probably useless (I don't know anyone who bothers to click that) but the separate buttons make the plugin worthwhile.

    You can configure it to appear at the top, bottom or top and bottom of posts by default.
