In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Facebook Select ImagesHey there
First off – you have a username in the admin field in settings – that needs to be an ID (number) instead. Go here https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
Click Get Token, then Submit while the input field has “me” in it.
Here’s a quick example of what to click and what it looks like:

Ok.
Right now the plugin finds all images through the process described in the plugin description and puts them all together as an array (list) for FB. Facebook used to be pretty cool with that and handled it well enough. It’s been a while and FB changes things quite often and now it doesn’t handle them always so super awesome like they used to.
In the next major version of the plugin (I’m almost done – just a couple bugs to squash) I handle images differently. So if you do have a featured image – it will only show that to FB and nothing else.
The purpose of this plugin way back was to install and not do anything and it just works – which it still does but it’s hard to make one solution for everybody – which is why I try and do that the best i can without building tons of settings to confuse people. It sounds like the new version will work pretty good for what you want it to do – but may not for everybody all the time. That’s fine tho. 🙂 I don’t have an estimated date on that – I would have liked to have it done months ago but very busy with client work and that life thing.Get that ID issue fixed and that’ll fix the other issues FB may be giving you – otherwise hope I get the new one done sooner rather than later 😉
Cheers

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] og imageHey Chris
I don’t see this plugin active on your site? Not sure how I can help.
You can test what Facebook will do by using their debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Put in your main domain name and “Fetch new scrape information”.If you do turn this plugin on then I can help further once I can look at it working in your sourcecode.
Cheers
Don’t see this plugin active on your site – I see “Facebook Open Graph, Google+ and Twitter Card Tags 1.6”.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Not playing well with SEO pluginHey Stephen
While I don’t see the code on your site now I’m not real sure what the issue was. In the description if explains the process of how it gets a title and description with the fallbacks being what’s in your general settings. I see you’re using AIOSEO, which I think he did put OG stuff into that plugin; although I don’t see it active on your site either.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Featured Images aren't showing on Facebook@lhollo I just see the occasional “Parser Mismatched Metadata” but it’s not a big deal – FB will work just fine for you now that you have that ID all set.
@bollywoodclubs you should make a new support thread for your issue but you have another plugin outputting open graph code. If you look at your source it shows you it’s the all in one seo plugin.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Featured Images aren't showing on FacebookOk. Images.
On this post (http://www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/jonathan-edwards/) for example the only image the plugin sees is this one: http://i2.wp.com/www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Jonathan-Edwards-Featured-Image.jpg
According to FB’s debugger (once you fix that admin thing i mentioned ^^) that post will look like this: http://i.imgur.com/pbLfpKY.pngLooking at one other post… (http://www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/jane-routh-1/) the plugin is showing these images:
– http://i0.wp.com/www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Jane-Routh-Review-1-FI.jpg
– http://www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Jane-Routh-photo-Square.jpg
and will look like this: http://i.imgur.com/9kRhYXJ.pngNow the order in which Facebook decides to display multiple images given to it changes all the time and has been something I’ve tried to update and keep up to speed with. I can’t control how they display them or which one they choose to use.
In the next major release of this plugin I’m only allowing one image, in most instances, to be displayed to FB. That SHOULD help with a lot of those issues but again – I can’t control what FB does. And they change stuff daily so.
Hope that helps more.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Featured Images aren't showing on FacebookOkay first off I found another issue with how you’ve set up the plugin.
In the plugin settings under admin you have a URL in that field instead of an ID number. Secondly that url you’re trying to use is for a FB Page not a FB Personal ID. Here’s what you need to do:Go to: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
Once you’re logged in, click on the Get Token, then in the input box you should see “me” in there. If you hit “Submit” you should get your personal ID. Use THAT number in the plugin admin settings field.
Facebook doesn’t allow pages in open graph anymore.Okay… now back to the images. Posting that after this…..
well that’s because the wpsso plugin is tying to do the same thing this plugin does and they must have some warnings in there to say that another plugin is trying to do what it does. either remove that plugin or this one. shouldn’t have both.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Finally something workingOh thanks!
I mean you MAY have to click the ‘get token’ button but it’s all right there.

if you go to that page; and are logged into Facebook; just click submit.
The input box there shows “me?fields=id,name” by default so it should give you your id number.
