    Hi there, i haven’t followed the advised steps for error reporting, simply because i don’t know if i actually have an error, so i just wanted to ask a few questions and attempt to solve myself.

    Basically i have NG & NextGen FB installed. I have Galleries organised inside albums and albums embedded in pages using shortcode like so [nggalbum id=1 template=minimalsm]
    I then use the sharing functions for images, built in to FooBox, which works fine.

    My problem exists with trying to share an album or gallery link
    https://ourniteout.com/box/
    https://ourniteout.com/box/gallery/box/6th-november-2011/

    Currently it shares my default image, which is 524 x 524. However if i deactivate the default image, it shares an image from the slider. The FB linter tells me that the Album image is too small and must be 200 x 200.

    It is totally impossible for me to re-create all my images to be 200 x 200 as it would actually mean they would need to be nearly 300px wide to have a minimum of 200 whilst maintaining aspect ratio. This would totally mess up my design. NOT YOUR PROBLEM THOUGH.

    So my question is this .. I can probably set a hidden featured image to get around the Album Page but the gallery page is created dynamically, so that won’t be possible is there any way i can get it to read the large image link in the href like below ?

    <img title=”IMG_6551″ alt=”IMG_6551″ src=”https://ourniteout.com//wp-content/gallery/Box/6th November 2011/thumbs/thumbs_IMG_6551.JPG” width=”164″ height=”119″>

    Lon winded question i know, but i just wanted to provide as much insight as possible.
    Thanks

    Hey .. so i hacked Yoast and removed the canonical URL .. when i run a link through Facebook Debugger i get this

    Object at URL ‘https://ourniteout.com/bar-retro/gallery/bar-retro/24th-december-2012/&#8217; of type ‘article’ is invalid because the given value ” for property ‘og:url’ could not be parsed as type ‘url’.

    However when i post a link on Facebook it all looks good !!!
    Finally we got there, i can’t thank you enough for your time and effort, i have truly never received Support like this from any developer Paid or Unpaid !!

    So do you have a Donate, Buy Me a Beer or Coffee Button or a PayPal address ?

    There’s some overlap between Yoast and NGFB — I presume you disabled most of the NGFB open graph tags to avoid duplicates, but you forgot the og:url tag. ??

    The og:url tag provided by Yoast (on that page) is empty, thus the problem reported by the FB debugger:

    The NGFB og:url is correct.
