Featured Images Not Showing up on FB

Same here.

Here’s my fb page too but you won’t be able to tell b/c I deleted to botched post and posted from share button. That worked but I would prefer that the auto-post by jetpack send the image with the post.

When you share a post on Facebook, or when Jetpack Publicize publishes a post to your Facebook page, Facebook crawls the page and looks for Open Graph meta tags in the head to build a complete post preview (with an image, title, description, …).

Jetpack automatically generates these meta tags for you, unless you already use another plugin to generate them.

You can see what Facebook sees by entering one of your posts’ URLs in Facebook Debugger:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

@prosperewebitor You’re using the WordPress SEO plugin to manage your Open graph meta tags, but you haven’t configured them yet. Could you go to SEO > Social in your dashboard, and configure your Meta tags there?

if that doesn’t help, you’ll need to contact the WordPress SEO plugin authors for help.

@kkrousseau The Meta tags seem to be correctly added to your posts. Next time you publish a new post, and if you still experience issues, could you copy the link to the post as it appears on Facebook, and paste it here?

Thanks!

Jeremy,

Is this just a matter of checking off “add open graph meta data”?

Yes, although you can customize the tags further with the other options on that page.

Thank you, Jeremy.

I haven’t posted again yet but I used that debugger and got this message:

Missing: fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing.

Trouble is, I have no idea where or how to fix those.

Any guidance appreciated!

And thanks for the awesome plugin, yes, yes, many blessings upon your halo.

Missing: fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing.

That’s not really a big issue. It won’t block Facebook from gathering info about your posts.

If you want to add these 2 tags to your site, you can add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

function fb_admin_id() {
	$fb_admin_id = 'YOUR_ADMIN_ID';
	$fb_admin_id_output = sprintf( '<meta property="fb:admins" content="%s" />', esc_attr( $fb_admin_id ) );

	echo $fb_admin_id_output;
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'fb_admin_id' );

You can find your Facebook ID by entering your personal profile URL (not the Page URL, but the account you use to manage this Page) here:
