Facebook – How to “unlike” a page on a website that’s external to Facebook

facebook

I’m helping to develop a website that implements the Facebook “like” button. During testing, I’ve liked a couple of pages on the website with my Facebook account using the like button. I want to “unlike” these pages, so that I can see the like button in its regular state again.

However, I can’t see any record of these likes in my Facebook account. The like button itself doesn’t provide any “unlike” option either, even though it shows the “like” count of the page as 1.

How can I remove my like of these pages?

Ah — now it looks like it does let me reverse my like of the page.

When I hover over the button, a little cross appears. Clicking on the cross reverses my like of the page.

This cross may have been present before, but I didn’t notice it. Or it may be that when a URL is liked for the first time via the like button, it takes a while for the un-liking functionality to become available.
