Q:

facebook like button and comments disappeared

I have "simple facebook connect" plugin on a wordpress blog and have integrated the comments and like button onto my website about a month ago. I noticed today however that neither the like button nor the comments load anymore, the last time I know for sure I saw them was 3 days ago. 
I haven't changed anything and it doesn't seem like the site it banned (no reason to, it shows up in my developer page on facebook, and doesn't say this site is blocked). 
Here is the code for the like button:
<fb:like href="http://extremesnowboardingvideos.com/2011/11/24/video-compilation-of-extreme-snowboarding/" send="false" layout="standard" show_faces="true" width="450" height="65" action="like" colorscheme="light" font="lucida+grande"></fb:like>

A:

You need to add the Facebook Javascript library to your pages and call FB.init
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
    window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
        if ( FB && FB.init ){
            FB.init( {
                appId: '<your-app-id>', 
                status: true, 
                cookie: true, 
                xfbml: true 
            });
        }
    };
    (function() {
        var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
        e.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
        document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
    }());
</script>

Or use plugins such as WordPress Connect - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-connect/
