 * Hello, im trying your plugin for facebook.
    Te images are working well in posts
   and pages. Thing is i want to set a default image for the homepage, but i dont
   know how to do it or i am doing it wrong. The homepage contains a section with
   blog articles. Facebook caches the images of this articles when sharing. But 
   i want to share an specific image only for the homepage.
 * The home url of the site is iglesiaarmenia.org and redirects with htaccess to
   iglesiaarmenia.org/arg/
 * I set the default fallback image as id and as url, the image is big enough **
   700×421**. I set the image i want as featured image. Your plugin detects it ok,
   and it shows the preview well. But facebook instead chooses different thumbnails
   when sharing. What else can i do?
 * This is the url of the image i want to show when sharing the homepage: **iglesiaarmenia.
   org/arg/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2-logos.jpg**
 * Thanks in advanced!!
 * PD: Also, this warning message appears when fetching the page. Only in the home
   url. It doesnt happen with posts. Why?:
    **The ‘og:image’ property should be 
   explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.**

 * Please enable the Debug Messages option on the SSO Essentials or Advanced settings
   page and I’ll have a closer look.
 * Thanks,

 * There’s something odd going on here… You seem to be using a static page for your
   home page, but there’s no “page” information (page id, type, etc.). WordPress
   should also be returning true for is_singular(), but it’s not. Very odd. So because
   the page isn’t an archive, isn’t singular, and doesn’t have a post ID, it doesn’t
   match anything – it can’t be processed as a post/page OR an index/archive page.
 * Hm. So in the WordPress Settings -> Reading -> “Front page displays” option, 
   what do you have? It’s a page? And does that page exist under the WordPress Pages
   list?

 * I made a small change for you in v3.32.1-1 — normally the plugin uses `is_singular()`
   to detect posts/pages, etc., but in your case, that function does not appear 
   to be working, so I’ve added an extra check for `is_front_page() && get_option('
   show_on_front' ) === 'page'`.

 * js Yes!!
    You did it. It is working now.
 * But i want to explain what i tried before.
 * Before upgrading to the new version of your plugin, i went to the Reading option
   in wordpress to check how it was.
    So i had the latest posts option selected.
   And in the “Enfold” theme options (where is an option to select the homepage 
   manually) i had my start page selected. So i did change the latest posts option
   in wordpress to my homepage. Visually nothing changed in the website, but when
   i tried to fetch the images from facebook, the problem was still there.
 * Finally after upgrading the plugin everything worked.
 * I am surprised no one had this problem before with the “Enfold” theme.
    Both,
   your plugin and this theme are very popular, and it is strange i am the first
   to notice this. Odd things could happen anyway.
 * Thank you very much for your help. I disabled the debug option now. If you need
   it again just whistle.
 * Bye!

 * Your theme is probably doing it wrong — it’s more common than you think. 😉 For
   a static page, WordPress is supposed to return true for the following functions:
 *     ```
       is_front_page()
       is_page()
       is_singular()
       ```
   
 * All other functions (like is_archive(), etc.) return false. This is all fairly
   well documented in the WordPress codex and is easily tested.
 * When your theme sets-up its static page, only the following functions return 
   true:
 *     ```
       is_front_page()
       is_page()
       ```
   
 * They forgot to code for is_singular(). My suggestion would be to report this 
   to your theme authors as a bug.
