Images Not Appearing While Sharing On Facebook

  • Hello all,

    I recently encountered quite a brutal issue today when running my website. When I copy and paste a link from a story from my website into Facebook, the image no longer appears. However, if I copy and paste a link from another website into Facebook, the image appears.

    This leads me to think that it’s an issue with my website, not Facebook.

    When I go to the Facebook debug and enter the link of a new post, these messages appear, even when I enter the URL of an old link, which posted no problem earlier in the day.

    “Inferred Property The ‘og:url’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:title’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:description’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.”

    Also, I am using the ProfitMag theme.

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

  • I think it is the Featured Image that is being shown on the Facebook.

    Try to debug it using:

    Hey Alen, That’s what I’ve been using. I use a featured image on my post, not an inserted image. When I use the debug it says “warnings that should be fixed:
    “Inferred Property The ‘og:url’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:title’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:description’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.”

    Hey bmartin1776, I read your post, it sounds like we’re in the same boat as far as not having a developer goes. I’ll be sure to let you know if I’m able to figure out a solution.

    Are you using an SEO plugin perhaps that might be “rewriting” these search engine optimizing values and you are leaving them blank?

    We have a similar problem where the og:url is being rewritten somewhere (we believe)…it might be a plugin that’s the culprit but finding which one can be difficult. Our “gut” tells us in our case its an SEO plugin. You could have the same problem.

    I’m vaguely familiar with coding, enough where I have edited my theme multiple times, but this seems like an issue that will require some time to fix.

    When you use the Facebook Object debugger, go down where it says “see exactly” and press that button and post the information. It will show the exact scraped text.

    URLs.
