In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Not grabbing correct descriptionG+ doesn’t do exactly what FB does but they say they’ll use open graph tags as a fallback if the G+ specific xml isn’t there.
See here: https://developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/
G+ doesn’t have (that I know of) a cache control like FB’s debugger so maybe it’s not showing a desc because it’s cached or idk. Google+ is a whole other beast. If you want very specific control over the way G+ handles your post you should look into tagging your page with schema.org protocol.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Not grabbing correct descriptionwell because 1 you’re not using a seo plugin to give a specific meta description that I can see (maybe doing it statically in your template?) and 2 the first thing you have in the post/page content is
<style type="text/css"> .calculatebutton {margin-left:350px;} @media (max-width : 480px) { .calculatebutton {margin-left:0;} } </style>Solution A: use an SEO plugin to put out a good meta description
Solution B: take css out of the body contentForum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Trouble with circular referencewell the trailing slash is the issue… this plugin is pulling the server url for the page which yours is returning as no trailing slash whereas whatever you have inputting canonical links is forcing the trailing slash and probably doing the 301 redirect as well.
IF you have yoast seo on there’s an option you may have enabled to force trailing slashes which may be causing this. check on that and make sure that’s not set.
That said… I think we’re going to work on implementing this http://kovshenin.com/2012/current-url-in-wordpress/ in the beta that’s on github and test that out. Should eliminate the edge-case issues like this.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Custom field support for imagesI don’t see adding this in soon… never had the request and as you know it’s a very theme specific issue. I do however understand your concern… My main point in writing plugins is to limit the amount of user interaction, it should just work w/o a user having to worry about it. This works for most everything except the outlying cases; such as this.
It adds further complexity with options determining if 1 to use this optional field, 2 how to name what field to look for, 3 would said field be the same custom field for every single post, page, cpt, etc?, 4 where in the decider loop to put it? etc.. just adds complexity.I see this as a good fork opportunity or a plugin of a plugin where if this plugin is enabled yours will add further functionality. In the beta we’ve made it object oriented with a class associated allowing you to call upon it easier in such a case. In the support forum there’s a pinned thread with the intel on how to get involved in dev and github link if you’re motivated as such.
Cheers

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Doesn't really do anything…the whole point is there aren’t many settings.. it just works. You’re doing it wrong. You have absolutely nothing in source when you enable the plugin? doubtful.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Please use full size thumbnailin 2.1b I changed the thumbnail to large from medium.
also you’re talking about you and how you optimize images… 99.998% of people don’t lol. nor have a clue how to. I have to build the plugin for nearly lowest common denominator. Look at the legacy crap in WP.
and how you can change the code yourself… edit the plugin file if you want to. it’s open source.
