This is what I did:
a. Install Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin. http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/
b. Set up Facebook OpenGraph stuff under wp-admin -> SEO -> Social (wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_social). Make sure to link either app or a valid admin user account.
c. Add the following to your theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* OpenGraph stuff is now handled by Yoast.
* This removes Facebook's broken use of its own technology.
*/
add_action('wp_head', 'remove_fb_og_stuff', 0);
function remove_fb_og_stuff() {
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'Facebook_Open_Graph_Protocol::add_og_protocol' );
}
Et voilà. It’s absolutely ridiculous Facebook’s 1st-party plugin doesn’t follows Facebook’s own API documentation when implementing OpenGraph metatags. Note that this has taken me *ages* to figure out at this point.
Hi aendrew,
Just wanted to confirm is your code still working?
As i tried removing facebook plugin open graph tags, but its not wroking for me.
I stil have duplicate og tags on funnychutkule
It seems you have the right kind of OG tags now — the meta ones instead of the ogp.me ones.
If it’s still not working for you, it must be something else — sorry I can’t be more help!
I have right tags now bcoz as of now i commented the following line in facebook plugin’s facebook.php file
// add_action( ‘wp_head’, array( ‘Facebook_Open_Graph_Protocol’, ‘add_og_protocol’ ) );

Hello guys!
This is my first entry here, but i’m writing to you in quite a despair.
I’ve been using the facebook plugin for quite some time now, mostly for comments and everything seemed to be working just great, but recently we’ve had a server change. Previously we had a nginx based server, and now it’s apache. The clean permalinks do not work too well with nginx so i always had the default links on our WP blog, but now with apache i’ve decided to make a switch to clean permalinks.
To the point. Any facebook comments plugin does not work now. I mean the comment box shows up, but i don’t have the moderation tools available and no new comments show up in the facebook comments moderation area, and also old comments disappeared, i mean they are still shown in the facebook comments moderation area, but do not show on my website.
Ok, time for some screenshots.
This comment right here:

should be shown under this post:

but as you can see no moderation tools, no comment.
The appid, administrator settings all seem to be ok:

If someone could be so helpful and look into this it would be really great!
Take care and thank you in advance
