Error when debugging

    When I debug a url on facebook, I get the following errors:

    Like Button Tag Missing – og:image is missing. The og:image meta tag is necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through rate.

    Inferred Property – The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

    Why does this happen, how can I correct these errors?

    The Facebook plugin for WordPress attempts to automatically add Facebook featured image based on a post’s featured image or gallery shortcodes. You can add your own images such as a site logo by adding some code to your theme’s functions.php file or dropping a PHP file into mu-plugins.

    When I followed this, it worked great without the og:image error message.

    But the only problem then is when a user tries to share the link on facebook etc, it shows the fall back image rather than the image associated with the article.

    How can this be fixed?

    You may test your URLs in the Facebook URL debugger. If your provided image is too small Facebook might skip the image in search of something larger.

    The problem I have now with the og:image is that it displays when submitting on social media sites rather than the article image.

    The article image is bigger than the og image and should be displayed?

    Any help appreciated?

    Regards
