'og:type' property and 'og:url' property errors – still doesn't show thumbs

    I have issues with the thumbnails when I share articles in Facebook, my WordPress doesn’t show any thumbnail automatically, I must always “debug” all of my urls. I have already installed WP Facebook OG protocol and configurated an AP ID, but the Facebook URL Debugger tool shows me on all articles this:

    Errors That Must Be Fixed:
The 'og:type' property is required, but not present.

Warnings That Should Be Fixed: The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags / 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.

    Plus, after I clic “Fetch new scrape info”, the Facebook debug tool show me two differents fp:app_id and two og:image codelines. Maybe this is part of the problem.

    Here is my website:
    https://www.revistamarabunta.com
    And there are some articles with thumb problems:

    https://www.revistamarabunta.com/2014/11/24/un-sueno-romantico/

    My Facebook Ap ID configurated at WP Facebook OG is 789729317828204, but Facebook debug tool build me OP properties always with the FB App ID 659807600828129. How can I now where it is taking that ID?

    Help please!

    Well first off you’re telling all robots to ‘noindex,follow’ in your header so that’s not helping you at all.

    The error FB is giving you is this:

    The app id (789729317828204) in fb:app_id metatag is invalid. The default app id (966242223397117) will be assigned instead when this URL is shared to Facebook.

    I’m assuming you have the wrong APP ID in there. They’re attempting to fix it for you however.

    So your action items are:
    1. fix the robots tags to allow them to scan – facebook is abiding by the rules you have set. If you don’t want google and robots to scan then you can’t expect facebook to magically do it.
    2. Take a second look at your App ID… something’s off there.

    Otherwise the plugin is functioning normally.

    Cheers.

    Thanks for your answer, Chuck.

    I have allowed robots, but still doesn’t show thumbnail on Facebook automatically. URL debugger still show me:

    Missing Required Property	The 'og:type' property is required, but not present.
Inferred Property	The 'og:url' 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.

    Plus, I’m pretty sure that the App ID is correct (789729317828204). But I can’t understand why URL debugger shows me two app ID:

    Meta Tag	<meta property="fb:app_id" content="659807600828129" />
Meta Tag	<meta property="fb:app_id" content="789729317828204" />

    What can I do?

    Hey, I have discovered somethings:

    1.- That Facebook App ID corresponds another plugin, specifically Facebook Comments Plugin (for coment articles by Facebook comments interface). Althought I deactivate this plugin, URL Debugger still showing twice ID’s Meta tags (659807600828129 and 789729317828204)

    2.- Any of my Apps (both 659807600828129 and 789729317828204) are publicated apps, I mean, In My Apps Facebook Developer Panel both show status: “Not available to all users because your app is not live”. Is this situation involve with my thumb problems?

    Thanks again!

    It’s me again.

    I have done public my app and use the same App ID for both WP OG Protocol and Facebook Comments plugins, but error stills.

    I ‘m about to go crazy. Can you help me?

    @keichipump question… why are you relating this to an app id? Why not just use your personal FB id? seems doing that will alleviate some of your problems.
    But yes having that AppID issue is most, if not all, of your problem.
