Facebook and the thumbnails… driving me mad
-
Hey folks,
I’m running my site for a few months now but the last two weeks there is a problem which also causes a loss of blog readers.
For some strange reason, FB pigheadedly ignores the first image inside the post so I have no (or the wrong) thumbnail to share on FB.
The funny thing is, that FB picks the large image from the sidebar (Musikreviews)… yes, it’s a widget, but even if I deactivate the widget containing this image, FB still chooses it.What I tried:
-reuploading the images inside the articles, even attaching them on the very bottom to see if FB finds the second one
-make SEO Ultimate choose a standard image (so at least I had the logo of my site instead of a wrong or no image on FB)
-trying all the tutorials in the web which have been posted in other threads-disable SEO Ultimate which has an Open Graph integrator
-disable Add Link To Facebook plugin
-disable the regular Facebook plugin
-disable Jetpack
(all of them at once, one by one while others running, one by one solely running)But the FB link debugger (that lint thingy) still shows me multiple og:url and og:image entries of the image which should be shown on FB, no matter if I disable the plugin or not.
The funny thing is: About two weeks ago, everything worked properly, WITH SEO Ultimate, WITH Jetpack, WITH AL2FB and WITH the regular FB plugin.
It’s really a pain in the you-know-what 🙁
Feel free to take random posts from my site and check what’s wrong. Especially the new ones are causing the problem.
What am I doing wrong? Or have there recently been changes facebook-side?
Without thumbnails the FB site looks horribly messy and semi-professional…
Thanx in advance.
