When you share a post on Facebook, or when Jetpack Publicize publishes a post to your Facebook page, Facebook crawls the page and looks for Open Graph meta tags in the head to build a complete post preview (with an image, title, description, …).
Jetpack automatically adds these Open Graph meta tags to your posts unless you already use another Open Graph plugin. Looking at your site, it seems you do use another OG plugin, but I’m not sure which one.
Facebook doesn’t seem to have any issues with your Open Graph meta tags though. The problematic tag is this one:
<meta property="template" content="mantra" />
It seems to be added by your theme. I would suggest that you remove the tag from your header.php file, or contact the theme author to let them know about the Facebook Debug error.
I hope this helps.
Jeremy,
The only other plugin that could use the FB OG is the facebook plugin. Could that be conflicting with the Jetpack?
I will send the message to the Mantra developers too.

It wouldn’t create any conflicts, no. If the Facebook plugin is active, Jetpack will stop adding Open Graph meta tags to your posts, and will let Facebook do the job.

That seems like the best course of action, since the problem will happen for all site owners using this theme and including this meta tag in the header.
In your functions.php of your child theme, add the line:
remove_action (‘cryout_seo_hook’,’mantra_seo_template’);
This SHOULD prevent that meta property from showing up, but I cannot get it to. Ive tried setting the priority high, and setting it low. Now I’m stumped too…
I worked with this longer, and the easiest thing I found to do was disable the themes attempts at SEO, which is okay, since I already have WP SEO installed. The two clashed anyway.
With this disabled, the meta property “template” is now gone.
