    Hello!

    I’ve just published today’s blog:

    Fed Up Of Being Criticised? How To Handle Your Partner Pointing Out Your Flaws

    and when I try to share on Facebook, using either the FB button at the foot of the blog, or just sharing directly by cutting and pasting the URL into a Facebook post, it’s not working like usual. It’s not pulling the URL, it’s not linking to the blog, it’s not pulling the featured image.

    When I put the URL through the Facebook debugger, it gives me this warning message:

    The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

    Can you help?

    Thanks,
    Corrina

    Hey CorrinaGB!

    That is an issue with the og:meta. You need to wait a bit for them to update, as for a reason of cache you might see bad results.
    If it works on some articles and others not, it is not a theme issue so we can not be sure how to help further

    Cheers!

    Thanks. I haven’t had to wait before, and it’s now been several hours – is this normal?

    With other blog posts on my site, published previously, I get this error message with the Facebook debugger program:

    The ‘fb:app_id’ property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.

    Thanks again in advance,
    Corrina

    Hi,

    You can try running the URL through the Facebook debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

    Thanks,

    Hi there,
    I have the same problem as Corrina. When I share the blog post on facebook it just shares a link to the website – no image, post title or excerpt. I have tried everything suggested on forums and searched for a fix but still no resolve. Th Facebook debugger is giving me the following warnings:

    Inferred Property
    The ‘og:url’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property
    The ‘og:title’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property
    The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Share App ID Missing
    The ‘fb:app_id’ property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.
    Inferred Property
    The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

    Can you advise?

    Thanks

    Hi!

    You can use Yoast SEO, to support og:type and then run through the URL that Richard suggested, to get things solved

    Best regards,
    Basilis
