    Hi,
    I did noticed that since I’m moving from Sentence theme to Enfold that if anyone wants to share a post on the blog, facebook isn’t able grab a picture of the blog posts I wrote since I changed the theme and doens’t display the meta describtion aswell??

    Any cloes why? I’m using shareholic, but changed nothing with the move from Sentence to Enfold.

    Thanks,
    Tina

    Hey!

    Can you post a screenshot of the issue? Facebook pop up works on my end. Is the problem how it is being displayed on Facebook?

    Hi!

    What image any social network grabs isn’t up to us. I would suggest using a plugin lets you select the specific image you want to have for each post. I think Yoast’s WordPress SEO lets you do that now as I’m sure others do.

    Best regards,

    The thing is the plugin worked all fine until I changed the theme from sentence ( a kriesi theme aswell) to enfold.

    The plugin (shareholic) is not showing up any picture or the meta text I used on Yoast or the first bit of the post

    That’s one of the postings that was written and published using the old theme. Thats how it looks if I share something newer (published since changing to enfold) on facebook Facebook

    Hi!

    Please use the Yoast SEO plugin, go to SEO > Social, tick the “Add Open Graph meta data” checkbox, login as facebook admin and then set the description + image. Afterwards save the settings. Make sure that there are no other SEO plugins installed. The images you’re uploading are not working.

    Cheers!

    Hi Ismael

    I’m not sure if that is solving what the issue is. For example, the site I am working on is not my own, I am the developer. When I choose add Facebook admin it connects with my own personal facebook profile. Presumably my client would need a facebook page, and it seems that this Yoast function is more to do with the connection between client site and client facebook. But it seems this isn’t what the problem is about?

    Shouldn’t the Enfold social share tool have the ability to have the image associate with the post being shared? regardless of the client owning a facebook page?

    cheers

    Hi Ismael

    to be clear, the client does not own a facebook page for this website/campaign.

    cheers

    Hi Darryl!

    No, that’s not necessary. You just need to set the appropriate Open Graph tags in the source code of the single post view so Facebook can build the share box based on that. As this is more of a functionality thing it is best to use a plugin for that:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/opengraph/
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-open-graph/

    Cheers!

    Thanks so much Josue. I didn’t understand what it meant, but I have realised that the plugin adds an area at the base of each post, and is modifiable there on a per-post basis.

    I used the WordPress SEO plugin in the end.

    Thanks heaps Josue , much appreciated.

    cheers

    Hi,

    I’ve added the social share element to portfolio items and everything looks right but the image doesn’t show when I attempt to share on Facebook. I’ve added Yoast and it seems to be functioning as all the open graph tags look to be in place.

    Will you please help troubleshoot why this is not working as expected? Thanks in advance!

    code added to make share element show on portfolio items:

    add_filter('avf_template_builder_content', 'avf_template_builder_content_social_mod', 10, 1);
    function avf_template_builder_content_social_mod($content = "")
    {
       if(is_singular('portfolio')) {
           ob_start();
           avia_social_share_links(array(), false);
           $social = ob_get_clean();
           $content = $content . $social;
       }
    
       return $content;
    }
    

    Yoast code from the link above:

    Hi!

    What do you get when you input the URL here?
    https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

    Best regards,

    Shows an error:
    Error parsing input URL, no data was cached, or no data was scraped.

    Then loads image and looks correct. Now looks good when I share from the URL, now that Facebook has cached it apparently.

    Will I need to do this for each post? Or will it just happen automatically? Sorry for the noob questions and thanks for your quick response!

    #588681

    You may need to do that for old Posts, but new ones shouldn’t have this problem.

    Regards,
    Josue

    #588684

    Interesting, these are all brand new posts. Any thoughts on why this might be happening to all these new posts? Or how to blanket remedy?

    Again, thanks so much for your insight.
