    Easy answer right now: no.

    Real answer, is soonish. The way the Facebook prioritized images presented on the timeline when this version was released, everything was peachy keen. They defaulted to the first one presented in the array and you could click arrows to select others available. A while back they removed that functionality and now choose an image they decide to use. Now… most of the times that’s the first image you offer them given the image size is appropriate to their suggestions, however this too is sometimes hit or miss. In the newer version of this plugin, on github and needs more testing before release, I have it set up so the featured image will be the only one suggested for open graph, if not it’ll look for a content image, then use the fallback. That should ‘fix’ most use-cases out there.
    I’m finishing client work still but I’m looking to jump back into that new version to release it by december probably.
    Cheers

    is something specific not working in 4.6.1?

    Do you have a cached output? There’s no sort of cache-busting built into this plugin as there’s just no need for that but that could be why that’s happening.
    Have you used the Facebook Debugger to clear THEIR cache? https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

    Other than that I’d need your site url to at least look at it. Try the debugger first… add in your home page url and scrape it, then do it for one of your posts too. Then lmk. Cheers

    Hey fieryfher, I’ve been on vacation so sorry for the lag on reply here.

    Your main /blog/ page doesn’t have a featured image associated with it to pull an image, and you don’t have a default image set in the plugin settings so you’re not telling FB which image to use; it’s just deciding to pull one from the page as it sees fit. If you view your page source you can see the warning from the plugin that says: “There is not an image here as you haven’t set a default image in the plugin settings!”

    That said, your posts work fine as there is a featured image associated with those. For example the image works great on /uncategorized/carreras-de-la-universidad-autonoma-de-zacatecas/

    So on the main /blog page either add a featured image to that page or set a fallback image to use in your settings.

    Cheers

    this plugin can’t change it in your settings; it has no access to that; only reads what the settings have and displays that on the front.

    You’re not even using this plugin.
    If you were, then your main site description in settings > general is still set to “Just another WP site” sooo change it 🙂
    And idk what “link preview” is, but read the description of the plugin to know how it works.

    So few things.
    General statement here but just because there are Open Graph tags in your site doesn’t mean any other site will behave and listen to them the way you intended. Unfortunately every site is different and they all do whatever the hell they want most of the time.
    That said; the code output by this plugin is working as you intended and outputting your logo on the home page. FB crawler shows that and they ‘SHOULD’ use that image but even they may not.

    So first thing is that image is pretty small… it’s 200px square. On your page that’s fine but for open graph you should probably have a larger image to make sure it’ll work on all sites as they all have different image size requirements. I have a public repo that helps with that here: https://github.com/chuckreynolds/social-profile-image-sizes

    Okay aside from that. Linkedin says they listen to OGP tags… but if my experience proves anything… they too can be full of it. So one thing that MAY be happening is that you put your URL into Linkedin and they cached the other image prior to you having open graph tags with your logo url present. They cache information for 7 days with no way to flush it (like FB’s debugger linter). So if that happened then you’ll just have to wait it out. Otherwise, bumping the image size may help them pick that up after their cache is cleared.
    Source on that: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin

    Nothing else you can do about it really. Just wait for their cache to clear and hopefully they abide by the image you put in your code.

    Cheers

    Ok got your DM..

    So this is the url you sent me: /wp-content/uploads/2016/01/yhaw-thumb.jpg

    First off… that image is too small, FB rules say 600 x 315 minimum.

    Okay secondly… and MUCH more importantly… If you try and load that image without ever going to your site first it doesn’t load and throws a 404. If you load your site then go to the image it loads fine (albeit small). Same with any other image on your site for that matter.
    SO… what (I think) that means if you have something, a plugin or cloudflare or web host, that’s blocking “hot linking” or direct access to site assets. You’ll need to either whitelist that image or turn off that feature.
    Which means facebook can’t see it and thus throws the error.

    Otherwise the plugin is functioning as intended. Cheers.

    I am on twitter @chuckreynolds if you want to dm the domain.

    Most likely you have a DNS routing problem or just the wrong path to the image. Without a URL I can’t help you test so.
    If you have a server that’s too slow then that could be a LOT of things and not something i can help with here. Test your site speed at something like http://webpagetest.org and beyond that you’ll either need to talk to your web guy or your web hosting company to help.

    OK. You have a few problems you need to fix.

    First off this: “Bad Response Code URL returned a bad HTTP response code.” and this: “Response Code 404” means you have a problem with your site and/or hosting. (see the second thing below)

    Secondly you have the Yoast SEO plugin active and you’re blocking robots… see your page source code: <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"/>
    The problem with that is…. well Facebook scraper is a robot soo… you need to fix that.

    Thirdly… you have the Yoast SEO plugin ALSO doing OGP tags… you need to choose one plugin to do that.. having more than one set of OGP tags will throw errors and give you odd results.

    Fourthly (is that a word?) you have yet another plugin doing OGP in there… all it shows in source is this: <!-- OG: 2.4 -->

    and Fifthly… whatever… you don’t have THIS plugin, you’re filing a support request on, even active.

    So… there you go. Free support for a problem that has nothing to do with this plugin at all.

    Cheers.

    Hey Vorddss

    Before looking at that your site has some sort of issue on load. Whether it’s a DNS problem or a host problem there’s something up… my initial load failed then resolved a couple seconds later… running webpagetest.org resulted in a failure too (link below), and bytecheck.com having problems every few loads resolving it too. THat’s something you’re going to want to look into regardless of this plugin question.
    test link: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/160624_1R_168/1/details/

    Okay onto your question.
    On that specific link the plugin is outputting these two:

    http://trackworthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/TW-YouTube-e1466057492586.png
    http://trackworthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Aston-Martin-Vantage-GT8-3-1024x683-1024x683.jpg

    FB debugger is pulling this one:
    http://trackworthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/trackworthy_TM-white-LightBlue.png

    I scraped again and again and finally the third time I got it to pull the two cars image. See screenshot here: http://imgur.com/krttTSX
    Yet FB is still throwing all these warnings: http://imgur.com/huOwKOY

    So why is FB doing that? I don’t know but I do know that whatever that problem is that I mentioned up above – that’s most likely what’s causing FB to do weird things. I’d talk to your web guy / IT guy / hosting company – whomever but you need to figure that problem out. Everything seems to be setup just fine otherwise so that’s the biggest thing sticking out to me.

    Fix that and use the FB debugger to rescrape your homepage and a few posts and that should be cleared up. Debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

    Cheers man, nice photos btw! 😉

    Question John… different area of site, but similar errors.
    This is a private page that only works when logged in, or it redirects them out (see gist 2nd file). IF I load that page with a trailing slash – works fine. If I don’t, then I get kaboom (see gist).
    Is this the same issue or a different one?
