Quick update man. Got burned out on client work and fixed the title stuff all-around. In beta.4 of the new version this isn’t an issue any more. 🙂

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Featured imageRight away looking at your source there are two issues.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="poochesatplay"/> <meta property="fb:app_id" content="poochesatplay"/>You should only use one of those and also you have a string in there (words) instead of the ID (number / integer) AND that “poochesatplay” is a page… not a person or not an app.
SO.
That said. You need to find your own personal Facebook ID. That process is a little more tricky these days thanks to FB but here’s a sample image that will help a bit.Go here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
Click on “Get Token” then “Get User Access Token”.
It will ask for permissions… make sure to check the “user_about_me” checkbox.
After you accept that then you should be able to hit “submit” and it’ll show your UID (user ID (it’s a number)) – but if it doesn’t, because facebook is annoying, look at this image. Click the blue “i” icon and it’ll show your number in that hover window.
http://i.imgur.com/h1m5MsH.pngOnce you put that ID number into the fb:admins section in the plugin (and remove the app id one you have in there too)… THEN go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ and put in that ‘pooches get ready’ URL you posted above. Click “Fetch new scrape information” button.
Confusing I know but FB doesn’t make it easy anymore to get that info. Cheers!

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Youtube embedHey @abrycet
Looking at this post for reference: http://www.pvsadiving.com/la-palma-isla-azul/
I see you have like 3 different plugins or maybe your theme as well that are outputting OG: tags. So you’re just flooding Facebook with information. You need to get all that down to one set of Open Graph tags to control what’s going there so. I’d suggest looking into the settings of your plugins and maybe theme to see what’s outputting all those.
Make sure to test with Facebook’s Debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
Good luck. Cheers!

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Does what it saysThx @tropic00
As for the customizing the text per post/page/etc, I’ve never really wanted to do that – I built this just to be the quick drop-in-and-it-works method… there are other plugins that give you all sorts of options and settings; probably won’t happen on this one tho. Thanks for the review though! Cheers.Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [Selfish Fresh Start] Big Hammer for Power DevelopersThx man. just pushed a new version too. v1.0 is out.
could you be a little more specific?
Using FB’s debugger posts look okay. here’s one: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.divinecontents.com%2Fmiracle-baby-decapitated-head-reattached%2FYour main site homepage doesn’t have an image – if you set a image in the settings it’ll tell FB to use that one.
I’m fairly certain it’s not a problem with the plugin and has more to do with your ‘complicated’ setup and/or auto-posting ‘stuff’; which is why I’ve been less-than-enthusiastic to continue to try and support this issue.
The plugin does correctly handle the meta as advertised and is there when the images are, which you know; the UID sometimes is an issue in FB debugger, but you say that is in fact your user id so that’s okay I suppose, and when you manually post the link later it seems to also work fine; again because the meta from the plugin is there.
This bring us to the auto-posting functionality of whatever plugin that is handling that. I’m guessing it’s because Facebook hasn’t scraped the URL yet or if it’s an updated URL from the last time Facebook scraped it, it has the old info and hasn’t been “rescraped” by FB yet… which is when you say this plugin isn’t working. That problem is due to uncached or old-cached versions on the URL via Facebook. I can’t do anything about that. You need to use Facebook’s Debugger tool to refresh their cache so they have the most recent version of the url data. There are other options like using their API to update your info when you publish or edit but that’s far beyond the scope of this plugin and not something you can do w/o custom coding a more in-depth plugin using a registered FB app.
Hope that helps you to understand it a little better. cheers.Hey Lhollo, sorry I’ve been busy with client stuff.
RE: “Object at URL ‘http://www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/haworth-poetry/’ of type ‘article’ is invalid because the given value ‘10152818741518051’ for property ‘fb:admins’ could not be parsed as type ‘fbid’.”
That long number you have in there isn’t a personal user ID. That looks like either an application ID or a page ID. If it’s an app ID then put that number in the other field in the plugin settings. If it’s a page ID then that won’t work – Facebook doesn’t allow those. You need to find your personal facebook user ID.. the account you log into FB with. Otherwise the Facebook debugger shows it working good.
(((I’m testing w/ this url: http://www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/haworth-poetry/)))GO here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
Example here: http://i.imgur.com/8kSkdjw.pngAside from that…. if you set a default image the pages like http://www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/editorial-issue-2/ will have something to use when there aren’t any images in content.
Once you get that correct ID in there you should be fine.
thx man i’ll look into it. i may have already done that on the new version that’s forever in development. but i’ll check it out. cheers!
Okay.
First thing: your site is REALLY slow to load.
For confirmation and some help on that look at http://bytecheck.com and http://www.webpagetest.org/result/151007_Z1_1BK7/
That speed problem cannot be helping you.Second:
You don’t have this plugin running.
You are using Yoast SEo with the Facebook open graph stuff on.
You also have another plugin or something outputting OG: meta tags so… you need to fix that dual output. That’s bad.Third:
When you fix that stuff… then use Facebook’s Debugger to make sure you’re all good. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/Well what specific problem are you having?
Have you used the Facebook debugger on the URL where the plugin is active?
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/Do you have an APP ID or Personal USER ID in as admin in the settings?
Have you viewed your page source to see if the meta og: tags are outputting?
Do you have any other plugins conflicting and also outputting meta og: tags?
If you checked all that then let me know what your domain is and what page you’re having issues with and I’ll try and provide some support.
Otherwise I can’t really help you with no information.
ok. you still have something else outputting OG: tags in the header. I don’t know what is doing it but it’s not yoastseo and not mine.
It’s putting these ones out on line: 25 of your view-source of that post.
<meta property="og:image" content="http://i0.wp.com/asianblackcouples.com/wp-content/uploads/junsu-telisu_1.jpg?resize=400%2C267" /><meta name="author" content="Asian Black Couples">So facebook debugger on that shows that those ^^ lines are messing with the scan that this plugin is outputting. So you need to fix whatever is doing that.
Another issue FB tells you is there’s a CURL issue somewhere…
Curl Error : WRITE_ERROR Failed writing body (8500 != 16384)
No idea what’s causing that but something you need to look into… a plugin or something in your theme. idk.Debugger is here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Well that ID number needs to be your personal userID on facebook not your page’s. That process i gave you should allow you to get YOUR ID not the page. That’s the error FB is giving right now.
Go Here to see what Facebook would pull when you fix that issue: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
(I was testing this post: http://mjsoddballblog.com/?p=228)Also the image it DOES try to use isn’t loading and/or blocked from your host. This one.
http://mjsoddballblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/always-remember-true-beauty-runs-deeper-than-the-make-up-beauty-quote1.jpgSo you have a couple of issues to resolve; but the plugin is doing everything correctly – you just need to give it the right data and fix hosting issues and you’ll be all good.
Hey
FB has changed things since I last wrote that helper but here:
– go here https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
– click get token, then the blue submit button in the modal window
– then click on the submit button on the right and in the window your ID (the number) will show up.
Example image: http://i.imgur.com/9Ii9Vpm.pngYou shouldn’t need the old Facebook plugin – they don’t even maintain it anymore anyways.
This topic was fine to create a new thing.
If you need further help you’ll have to provide your URL and what pages you’re testing on it so I can try and helpForum: Plugins
