show link preview

I’m having the same problem. Have anyone found a solution yet?

Hi there,

Are you using the shortcode like this?

[recent_facebook_posts show_link_previews=1]

Hi, I have tried the shortcode and the widget and cleared the cache. But the problem is still there.

Could you provide me with a link to your website and your Facebook page so I can take a look and run some tests?

Thanks!

Hi Danny,

yes I tried [recent_facebook_posts show_link_previews=1]
but it still does not work.

I sent you an email with with a link to the website and the Facebook page.

Hi, I have also sent you a message with the links.
Regards, Jakob

Hi Danny,

I also made a donation to your paypal adresse 2 days ago, would be nice if you help us out with the solution ??

Thank you

Hi guys,

I received both emails, just haven’t had the time yet. University deadlines are coming up, sorry. Trust me when I say I’m trying to look into this as soon as I can.

haha Danny,

you are already a business man and a super programmer, you dont need a superficial diploma ?? I think its a waste of time to make a “in the system fitting diploma”, lol. you already got everything you need!

but hey easy going.
peace

hey Danny,

still waiting for you answer about our problem. I also made a donation to your paypal. Thank you.

Hi guys,

Do you have links to your websites where I can see this happening? That would really help!

Sorry for the delay in my response.

@clan23, well received and much appreciated, thank you!

Hi Danny,

unfortunately i can not give you link only a Screenshot if you want?

Maybe it’s something in the settings on the facebook side?

A little late to this party but I’m experiencing the same issue. It appears to happen with embedded media. Links that feature external images show up fine. The plug-in is looking for an image to display and ends up trying to pull something from a PHP file. Here’s the img tag in question:

<img class="rfbp-image" src="https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQAlDDuTSmluZG-7&w=130&h=130&url=http%3A%2F%2Fi1.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FqeEMBYkHgHY%2Fhqdefault.jpg?type=normal" style="max-width: 100%; max-height: none" alt="" />

You can view the plug-in on this page https://designgroupmarketing.com/wordpress/social/. Currently the “I Grow” post at the top is the one that has an embedded YouTube video on the Facebook page.

Thanks.

I’m trying to fix this as well. Just out of curiosity I installed a few other facebook widgets to see if they could clue me in to a solution. I noticed that the ones that show external preview images end in:

maxresdefault.jpg

This widget seems to be requesting everything in the same way right up to the end, which is:

maxresdefault.jpg?type=normal

Removing the “?type=normal” while inspecting in Chrome fixes it, I am just not sure how to incorporate this fix into the actual output. Will keep looking into this.

Not sure if this is a good fix, but if you change this line in includes, class-public.php you can get a small preview for YouTube links.

Line 236:
<img class="rfbp-image" src="<?php echo esc_attr($p['image'] . '?type=' . $opts['img_size']); ?>" style="max-width: <?php echo $max_img_width; ?>; max-height: <?php echo $max_img_height; ?>" alt="" />

to:
<img class="rfbp-image" src="<?php echo esc_attr($p['image']); ?>" style="max-width: <?php echo $max_img_width; ?>; max-height: <?php echo $max_img_height; ?>" alt="" />

Just removing that one bit of code seems to give you a small image.
