Hi - I was not able to repro this issue. I tried liking the product and clicked on post to facebook without any message and it showed fb_ref parameter in my newsfeed and also in my timeline. I also tried only liking the product and not clicking on post to facebook and it worked as expected. You can check it here: (https://www.facebook.com/anoorin.alalani). Can you please let us know your repro steps?

missing fb_ref parameters in timeline links was marked as a duplicate of this bug.
This issue is a continuation of https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/225825010811641 . I tried to re-open that ticket, but unfortunately didn't manage. Thus I'm reporting a new one.
Consider the following situation in my profile.
I've liked this link: http://www.ecwid.com/
In the News Feed I see the correct link to that post: http://www.facebook.com/
I say "correct" because the link contains the fb_ref parameter, as expected.
However, the link to the same post in the timeline is different: http://www.facebook.com/
As you can see, the fb_ref parameter is unexpectedly missing.
Can you please fix this?

| Steps to Reproduce: | 1. Click the like button on this page: http://www.ecwid.com/ 2. Compare the links in the news feed and in the timeline. 3. Notice that the former link contains fb_ref parameter (as expected) and the latter does not. |
|---|---|
| Expected Behavior: | Both links (in the news feed and in the timeline) include the fb_ref parameter |
| Actual Behavior: | The link in the timeline does not include the fb_ref parameter |
