Yeah @fncil I don’t understand why it would do that either. In order to know you’d have to debug what’s changing it.
As far as the size… yeah the plugin still needs to be updated because facebook changes their rules often – and well – I just haven’t updated the copy on the old version of this plugin. New version still pending couple bugs and time that I don’t have due to heavy client loads.
For images sizes I do keep an updated list here and Facebook is currently at 600×315 minimum size.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Animted GifYeah they do as of recently. I looked into a bit more. It has to be tagged as a video in OG tags and, well, I haven’t built anything to do that. It’s beyond the scope of what I’d build into this plugin. Sorry bud – maybe somebody else has built all those features into another bigger plugin.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Pictures are not coming over to FaceBookWell your first problem is Google is blocking your site due to a hack or malware being on your site. See this when I first visited your site: -> http://i.imgur.com/DcCRsI1.png
Your site is definitely hacked. How to fix that is far beyond the scope of this support forum and plugin but you should talk to these guys. They can definitely help. Sucuri
https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/atownpoolspasauna.comAfter that then you should be fine.
It shouldn’t have a problem honestly unless something else is messing w/ local. All the code does is switch the “en_gb” to “en_us” – it doesn’t even change the rest of it so… i’m just assuming you have another plugin or something either messing w/ that line or adding the line somewhere else in code.
Also that image is smaller than their minimum required size but since it’s the only one on the page and you don’t have a default set in the plugin settings it’ll use it.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Featured Images aren't showing on Facebook@perfect10design you’re commenting on a [Resolved] tag. I don’t see these after they’re closed. You should start a new thread.
BUT – you have another plugin outputting OG tags. You need to fix that. Then this plugin will work fine. View your source -> http://i.imgur.com/EkKdAoh.pngit’s the way it is because that used to work for FB. since they’ve changed the way they read the image array.
If you’re into code feel free to use github. https://github.com/chuckreynolds/WPFBOGP/tree/develop
There’s a much newer version of this plugin that’s kindof almost ready for prime-time and it handles that default/fallback image much better.

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] No image (featured or default) is showingre: token. The token you used is the facebook token to use their tool not your user ID.
– Go here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
– Click Get Token -> Get Access Token -> okay.
– Then click Submit
Your user ID should show up in the box – just take that number and that’s what goes into the plugin settings.Helper image: http://i.imgur.com/9Ii9Vpm.png
re: JetPack – I don’t know if you really need that at all and I can’t answer that from where I’m standing. Jetpack does a lot of different things but seems to enable you to turn off the parts you don’t want/need so look into that.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] No image (featured or default) is showingwell before I even investigate further I can already tell you have another plugin that’s outputting OG tags. Jetpack. Go onto your page and right click and hit “view source”. THen CTRL+F (cmd+f if on a mac) and search for “og:”. you’ll see those.
Also i’m not sure what you put into the plugin settings admin field but it’s definitely not a facebook user id – it’s wwaaaaay too long.
Go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
click get token. then click submit and your ID number will be in that window area.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] 'og:title' of type 'string' not providedHey Nick
First thing I noticed on your home is you have some other plugin adding an image near the top of the view-source code:
content="http://insidesauce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/314984-nick-kyrgios-pc-serious-108x70.jpg"Need to figure that out and fix that.
Also the homepage can’t pull a featured image (unless your theme supports that for the home page) and you don’t have a default fallback set in this plugin’s settings to use.
This is what Facebook’s Debugger says your home page will look like right now: http://i.imgur.com/oGOOhTa.png
Same for the nick-kyrgios post – there’s something else outputting another og: image in your source.
And Curl has nothing to do with this plugin at least.
🙂 looks good! Cheers

In reply to: [WP Facebook Open Graph protocol] Doesn't seem to be working with LinkedINHey jdmrsm
It does, and like any of the other networks, but depends on them handling the open graph data the way you designate it. For reference – scroll down to the “Improve content sharing with Open Graph” section on LinkedIn’s developer docs here: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin
That og:title (etc) code is exactly what this plugin outputs. If you view your page source when this plugin is activated and just do a CMD+F search for “og:” and you’ll see those tags in there.
Now.. with that said.. Linkedin is horrible at sharing links – the worst one out of the ‘big 3’ (FB, TW, LI). So while the plugin does follow their documentation; from that point to when they process it and post it – I can’t do anything about that. Once it’s in their hands – regardless of their documentation – they handle it the way they want.
FB is very well known for changing it constantly – even Google does this if you present them well done meta tags. This plugin was built long ago when these networks actually did honor your tags – they change constantly and show what they think is best on their network – again linkedin is horrible at this but… I built this to present the data that should be used – what they do with it after that… out of our hands.Hope that helps understand it all a bit 🙂 Cheers!
Hey Emair
First issue is this:
<meta property="fb:admins" content="https://www.facebook.com/paula.golsby"/>
In that settings field you need the ID (it’s a number) of your page not the url. In the instructions you can see how to find that number or just go here, click on get token, then submit and you should see your ID number in the window: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/Example here: http://i.imgur.com/beYwpGm.png
Once you get that number in there then we can work on any other issues.
Your home page (in the code) says to use the
/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/pmg-planning_ogfb1.jpgwhich is big enough for their minimum.
I see that error they’re throwing about it not being big enough… and I can’t explain why they’re doing that. They have bugs… very often… so… I checked your robots.txt file and that doesn’t seem to be blocking the FB bot from scanning it but idk… FB has bugs that’s all i can say. But this plugin is giving it the right info – they’re just not wanting to follow directions. It happens.Maybe reupload it with a different name and change the image and force a new scrape in their debugger. Sometimes that’ll work. But not much I can do – they do what they want half the time.
Get that ID straightened out and force a new scrape of your homepage (and other pages if you wish) and you should be good.
Cheers

@pinoy you’re not using this plugin on your site.
