Publicize to Facebook uses small images

    Using only Jetpack’s publicize, I have not been able to coax Facebook to display the lovely new larger sized preview image for an article.
    Using WP SEO Booster and turning Jetpacks OpenGraph off, the large preview image is displayed.

    Either I’m blind, or stupid, or quite possibly both, but I haven’t for the life of me been able to find the difference in og tags that makes Facebook display a small or a large preview image. The only difference I’ve found are the following metatags added by
    SEO Booster and not by Jetpack:
    <meta property=”fb:app_id” content=”X”>
    <meta property=”fb:admins” content=”X”>
    and
    <meta itemprop=”name” content=”X”>
    <meta itemprop=”description” content=”X”>
    <meta itemprop=”image” content=”X” />
    Checking the post in Facebooks Object Debugger also displays no difference in the image being linked in <meta property=”og:image”.

    What dark magic would one have to use to get a Jetpack-only solution to work, I wonder.

    Thanks a lot Richard for taking time to answer here!
    Interestingly, when I tested just a few minutes ago (same server, same everything), it worked beautifully, both on Facebook and on G+.
    My guess is that when I get around to have Twitter say OK* to my site, I’ll also have pretty Twitter cards, thanks to the awesomeness of Jetpack. You guys must make life for some plugin developpers really miserable, you know that? 🙂

    * Interestingly, using one of the specialized Twitter cards WP plugins, I was able to get a Card-enabled Tweet from my non-twitter-authorized testing site, so there must be a way around this requirement.

    Hi!

    Glad things are working for oyu. So, do we still have a question then, or shall I mark this thread as resolved?

    Thanks!

    Hi Richard

    sorry – I completely forgot about correctly marking it “resolved”.
    Done.

    Thanks, Phil
