That new page design wasn’t working properly yet.Īside from the above redirect issue of 2020, those that suffered from a liked page going to a different URL faced browser hacks and malware problems. One exception was during the 2020 Facebook old/new transition when page owners got redirected to the new page that failed to load, ending with that so-called “This page isn’t working… Facebook redirected you too many times…” notification. To begin with, Facebook never allows internal or user redirects in the app or online, except when they need them. Regardless, the redirect problem was also reported as far back as 2012 by many users, except it was under different circumstances. This problem was also part of the new Facebook layout transition in 2020 when Facebook tried to redirect people to the newly designed pages and they got a “Too many redirects…” notification. Your device isn’t functioning properly at that particular moment.Ĭan’t Unlike a Facebook Page Due to a Redirect IssueĪnother scenario where Facebook users were trying to get their “Likes” unstuck involved redirects when going to the liked page from their profile. In that instance, it often does change on Facebook servers and others can see the activity. Note: Sometimes, you try to like or unlike a page and it doesn’t change the icon.
Relaunch Facebook and log in to check if the problem still exists.
Try launching facebook in several browsers on your PC, tablet, or laptop.
Users were caught in an old/new incompatibility problem during the 2020 Facebook upgrade where some pages and accounts were on the old system while others were transferred or “in transfer” to the new Facebook layout.
Why is this problem mentioned here? It’s because the issue was mainly occurring during the 2020 transition to a new Facebook pages layout with new functionality. If you’ve been searching the internet for issues with unliking Facebook pages, you have surely seen plenty of these comments. Yes, there are claims that you can, but the truth is that they don’t work. Therefore, you cannot get a “Like” on a nonexistent page unstuck in any way.
Obviously, Facebook has no intentions to fix the popular issue or cannot add a feature to existing code based on its design.
However, the “for now” status has existed for numerous years. You are stuck with that stamp on your profile forever, at least for now. So, what can you do to unlike nonexistent pages in Facebook? The answer is nothing. You either click on the vertical ellipsis (three vertical dots) and select “Unlike” or click on the page link to open it up and click on “Unlike.” Unfortunately, dead pages don’t offer an option to unlike them using the ellipsis or the actual page.įurthermore, there is no popup when hovering over a dead page’s link in your “Likes” list that lets you click “Liked” to unlike it. Sure, most liked pages are unlikable, but the ones that are no longer available leave your “Like” status as a permanent stamp to your profile.Īctive pages allow you to unlike and like as much as you see fit by going to your profile and heading into the “Likes” section. One notable problem that has been around since Facebook was created is your “Like” history on pages you liked that you cannot unlike. On Facebook, you can “like” something someone posted as a status update, a photo, an app, and so on.
