yup. this seems closed now 🙂
No worries 🙂
The app ID thing is tricky… a lot of people have problems getting the appid to validate because facebook is buggy. So… that said I’d recommend you use your user id as admin and put in the page id.
As far as security – all that info is very public and available to anybody anyways. There’s no risk of anything happening to your account(s) or anything so don’t worry about it.Thanks for using the plugin! Cheers! 🙂
aye… good call. idk why i have that hardlined to posts… will roll into update
+1 for titles & desc.
and meta KW’s do you more harm than good. 🙂
@b_dark – Fix by adding an excerpt for that content. If you don’t have one, only then will it pull the first 160 char of the content. If your content only has the shortcode then maybe introduce a short couple sentences of what that page is about. Looks like you’re displaying tweets so maybe write a header or description for the on page content.
@benz001 – I do have the dev code on github: https://github.com/rynoweb/WPFBOGP
In regards to FB and multiples images… ….SO… IF Facebook was at all reliable I would consider doing that and having multple… however… FB or the OGP protocol don’t have any mention of that functionality… and the fact that FB is NEVER consistant on if/when they do that or how they pull images from a page… I just can’t worry about it yet.
If building this plugin has taught me anything about Facebook dev’s it is that they’re unorganized and never write good docs. Case in point the og:type and what additional og: response codes they want with different types… they now started throwing warnings on the no og:locale stuff… which I’m about to add in but have to figure out how to pull that from the general settings timezone and correlate that to a locale. Just little shit like that.
That seems to be a good convo over at S.O. so I’ll check it out and probably get involved.Feel free to pull and request adds for the plugin. I’m not an awesome php dev so any help is always appreciated 🙂
v1.3.5 addresses the url issue but I still have to get time to write all the custom shiz for author pages.
fixed in 1.3.5 bug fix push. waiting for repo refresh then update 🙂
@eminemdrdre00 what word length were you thinking. I made it 160 as to keep with the length that Facebook will display before cutting it off. I didn’t do the … as it’s annoying and also takes up more characters. IMO people should be crafting their own custom descriptions not letting an autogenerator do it for them – but that’s just me.
fixed in 1.4 beta. standby.
k I’ll look into it. just super busy w/ client work. I’ll do what I can as soon as I can.. thx man. 🙂
Currently no. Usability practices tell me the less a user has to interact and choose what to do the more effective the system will be overall if small nuances can be handled programatically. I didn’t want a bunch of options, as you can probably tell lol.
What I was looking for however is something from Facebook saying specifically how long a description can be before it’s shut off… But I can’t find that anywhere.
For you however, you’re in luck… for the description, my plugin first checks for a post excerpt (which you could type your 200 there) before it goes to auto-generating the desc. So use that?
If this is for your author pages again then until I can get all that added in… wing it! 🙂
Cheers
First off… thanks for using my plugin and taking the time to comment
Author pages is something I haven’t tested or honestly thought of and yet it’s a completely valid feature the plugin should include. I will look into it and get this near the top of the roadmap. I have zero bandwidth right now with my current client load but I will get this in the next version or the one immediately after that.
Sorry for the inconvenience but hang tight, I’ll get it in there! 🙂
Thanks again!
Like I mentioned the app_id w/ Facebook seems to always give people troubles. You have to have your domain setup right and even then I still think it throws errors. Remove the app ID as all you should need is your personal admin id and the page id to have stats from the page.
Your admin id is wrong. it’s too long. After further looking at your site and linking fb page… you have your PAGE Id in the admin id field. Your admin ID is for your personal FB profile and the
https://graph.facebook.com/mattreport (that id # is your page_id)
I don’t know what your personal profile is but replace your personal profile name with the ‘mattreport’ in the graph.facebook url above.
That’ll fix it. Also beware that using app_id is buggy… and that’s on FB’s side not mine. I’m actually considering removing that field altogether because of the problems it seems to cause.
That’ll help you tho… Cheers!

In reply to: How to check for custom post type and if it's hierarchical@helen When we talked about that on twitter earlier it threw an error… now it’s working okay… I must have typed it wrong the first time.
Currently adding that seems to have the basic functionality I’m looking for but need/want to test it much more.
Without ‘hierarchical’ set in the CPT it defaults to fasle thereby making the og:type ‘article’ by default. If I set ‘hierarchical’ => true, then og:type flips to ‘website’.
So far this seems to be working on one site I’ve tested it on… normal blog seems to be working and throwing ‘article’ on single posts and on all site pages it seems to be throwing ‘website’ just fine. Need to do more testing with different CPT’s but I think we finally figured it out… I hope 🙂
