    Hey there,

    I want to set up my blog page to look like your “Blog Single Author Small” demo page. Your thumbnail pictures are set to the left side with the excerpt and read more section to the right. And you have a side bar with a line separating your blog entries.

    When I set up my page the way the demo page is set up, my thumbnails show above the excerpt and read more section.

    http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/blog/blog-single-small/ (example of your page)

    http://www.faithfamilylifeandotherthings.org/new-website-launch-give-away/?preview=true&preview_id=91&preview_nonce=b289d9fb3d (example of my page).

    Thank you kindly for your help.

    Hi doriprice2020!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    The Blog Single Author Small style have layouts for pages with and without sidebars. If you want the same layout as the demo, you need to enable the page sidebar.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Ismael. A couple of things:

    I’ve customized my blog page using the page builder. I used content elements: blog posts and widget (for sidebar). On the right side of the page where I can make changes, I’ve turned off the sidebar because I don’t want it to show twice. How can I work around this to get the same look as the demo page?

    Also, not sure if I should start new topic, just let me know if so…….but when I share my posts via the share buttons at the end of my posts, the featured picture and/or thumbnail doesn’t appear. I do not like the way it appears on my facebook page:

    Any chance you could please help me with this as well??
    Thanks so very much for your time and expertise.

    Hey!

    Thank you for the update.

    I’m sorry but it will take a bit of customization to enable the blog style’s sidebar layout for pages without sidebar. Unfortunately, this particular is beyond the scope of support. Regarding the facebook image, please use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/

    Install the plugin then go to SEO > Social panel. Enable the “Add Open Graph meta data” to specify some content for social sharing services like facebook and twitter etc. Note that you have to wait a few hours before any of this services re-pick the data.

    Cheers!

    Ismael,

    the SEO Yoast plug-in doesn’t solve my problem noted. My problem is that when I share (upload) my new posts to my facebook page, the image doesn’t show up. There’s no image at all. Just the title of my post and a brief meta description.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks so much,
    Dori

    Hi Dori!

    Try this plugin:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-facebook-open-graph-protocol/

    Best regards,

    Hey Josue,

    Thanks for the plug-in lead. But it still didn’t fix my issue. Have you looked at my site? And how it is coming forward on facebook as I noted above? I’m not sure another plug-in is going to fix the issue. Seems like I’m missing something due to my lack of understanding on how the upload works and pulls the image from my posts to begin with.

    I have the SEO Yoast plugin. Initially when setting up, it said to deselect the Open Meta Graph option. Said is conflicted with my theme or something like that. I’ve tried checking the box and unchecking the box but still get no image.

    I added the open graph protocol plugin-in (which btw is untested apparently with my theme) but i added it and set it up with my ids and still no image pulls through.

    What am I missing?? Why won’t this work?

    Would you kindly help me figure this out?

    Hi Dori!

    Try with this one, i just tested it on my sandbox install and it successfully included the Facebook OG tags in the source

    Cheers!

    you just tested my site? can you be more specific? Do you have any ideas of what exactly the problem is? Should I deactivate the other one you recommended before adding this latest one? Doesn’t YOAST have this open graph thing built into it? why isn’t it working with my enfold theme?

    thanks,
    Dori

    doriprice2020

    btw, you are recommending another plugin that is untested with my enfold theme. do you have recommendations for a plug in that’s compatible with my theme??

    October 27, 2014 at 10:08 pm #341813
    Josue

    Yes, deactivate the other one and try with WP Open Graph which it’s simpler and easier to set-up, i’ve tested it on my local Enfold installation.

    Best regards,
    Josue

    Josue & Ismael,

    I’ve installed the WP Open Graph plugin. Customized the settings. And tested a post to see what is coming through. I’m getting this using the Object Debugger for Facebook (Please note, all fields have a value except the Image field). My question is basically, what’s the problem here? I’ve used three plugins, yoast, protocol, and the open graph, and nothing is working. If your’s works then something in my settings is off. I need guidance to figure out how to fix. I just have no idea where to go from here. Thanks so much for your time.

    Based on the raw tags, we constructed the following Open Graph properties
    fb:admins Array of length: 1
    ⍾ 1597440475
    fb:app_id 718037448250634
    og:url http://www.faithfamilylifeandotherthings.org/
    og:type website
    og:title Faith, Family Life & Other Things
    og:locale en_us
    og:image

    Hey Dori!

    The og:image tag is being included and it’s pointing to the correct URL, problem is there is some sort of server-side redirect (“/show-image/…”) which returns a 404 and is disabling the image to display.

    Cheers!

    Hi!

    There seems to be a server-side functionality rewriting the media files URLs, when you try to load something like:

    http://www.website.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Romans-15-13.jpg

    It gets converted to (and returns 404):

    http://www.website.org/show-image/?img=/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Romans-15-13.jpg

    That’s why Facebook isn’t catching the image (the OG tag is included correctly) because it can’t load it directly, that’s the culprit of the issue.

    Cheers!

    Josue,

    Thanks for identifying my issue. After days and days of trying to resolve this problem, I ask you again, how do i fix this issue? Who would I contact? Why would the URL redirect like that? Can you give me more details on why an issue like this occurs? I would like to resolve this today. Thanks for your time.

    Dori

    Do you have any updates on how I may fix the image missing issue? Would you kindly help me please?

    Josue

    Hey Dori!

    To be honest i’m out of ideas at this point, please note that this ‘media redirect’ is not being created by Enfold, it may be a server-side configuration (.htaccess redirect) or a plugin. I’ll tag the rest of the team, perhaps they can contribute with something.

    Regards,
    Josue
