In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Wrong OG imageHow the plugin works is it puts an array of images in the meta tags for Facebook. If it finds any in your content or you have a featured image those get added to the array, and if you specify a default image that too gets added. Facebook used to be very good at pulling those in order; recently they have not been doing that the same all the time. Facebook changes how they do stuff quite often and don’t really mention they change things.
That said; the next version of the plugin (in beta on GitHub) will have to be much more specific to try and make Facebook behave; basically only giving it one image instead of the array of images it used to like.
So you can get on that beta (reminder, it IS a beta so) or just wait for the new version to come out. I haven’t had a lot of time due to client work but it will come eventually. You can remove the fallback image link and make sure to add featured images to all pages and posts – that’ll help your issue for now.
Cheerslooks like you’re using a different plugin.
But looks good after a fresh rescrape: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.feac.org.brForum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Specifies multiple ‘og:url’Type this into Chrome address bar: view-source:http://euroswapshop.website/
CMD+F for “og:” and it’ll show you the tags used.
Currently there are only one set but it looks as if your theme is putting those in there. So when you had this plugin on as well – there’s your duplication. You’ll have that problem with any OpenGraph plugin you use until you mitigate that issue with your theme.
Cheers

Also you could build an app that works with their API but that is very far beyond the scope of this plugin.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Public?According to FB’s open graph docs yes because it uses meta tags in your site’s header.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Changing the og:url outputIt is an issue… like i said FB will take the last appearing one in source. I’d suggest looking at the yoastseo filter route for long term.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Changing the og:url outputHey man.
Yeah I see you’re using YoastSEO right now. My plugin doesn’t do anything different than his in regard to OGP so they’re both going to return the current site URL for that post/page.I see that you have this too:
<!-- Meta Tag Manager --> <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.fifteenfiftyone.ca/blog/family/baby-grace-portraits/" /> <!-- / Meta Tag Manager -->While that’s fine, it’s displayed in source before YoastSEO’s output so Facebook will read the last one in source; ie not that one. So option 1 is to see if you can change the priority of that plugin’s output to something higher like 999 OR…
YoastSEO allows for the filtering of the OGP URL output. Read about that here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/change-og-url/
Unfortunately there’s not a super easy way to do it; and I don’t even have anything built into my plugin to handle that as what you have is an edge-case. So I hope that helps you out man. Cheers!
Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] no workIt works fine actually. If you’d like to file a support request with your domain and showing you’ve run the Facebook debugger then I’d be glad to help. 1 star reviews with no prior support ticket and no information to go on doesn’t help anybody.
Nice. Thanks for chiming in Frank. Cheers 🙂
Right on, glad you got that figured out 🙂
That’s the point of the plugin… simple… does what it does. That’s it.
Cheers man!Now I see you only have Yoast active; which is fine.
Using the Sharing debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/
and
Using the Object debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/So it seems FB can only scrape partial information from your site. I’d suggest at this point to flush any local cache you have on the site, or even temporarily disable any cache you may have.
The issue at this point either lies in (1) facebook debugger being temporarily broken (it happens sometimes) or (2) something else on your site is blocking or not allowing the facebook scraper bot to do its job.
The code from yoast’s plugin and mine are outputting properly to your site. There’s something beyond the plugins’ output causing problems that I can’t test or help you with other than what I’ve provided here.
Cheers
So your first problem is you have 2 plugins (I now see this one lower) doing OGP. You must only use one. They’re conflicting with each other when Facebook scans your site. Yoast has an option to disable that functionality or you can disable this one.
Another issue is in my plugin you don’t have the ID of your personal profile in settings.. you added your profile URL. You can use findmyfbid.com to find your ID or look again at the plugin readme.

You posted this 10 min before I checked your site and can see you’re not even using my plugin.
