    Hey man, great plugin!

    I can’t manage to get something to work. I’ve debugged fb open graph, image shows perfectly buy when I add a new post, it shows the logo of my page which isn’t the image I set in the plugin.

    Is there anything that would make sense to you that I’m missing?
    Does you plugin also post on Facebook? Which might be the reason because I’m using Jetpack right now. If yes how?

    Let me know thx!

    Please read the sticky. I need a URL to an example page/post, and debug mode turned on.

    Thanks,

    Debug should be on (I have the yellow warning on the admin).

    Reading the sticky now…

    Ok, so the Facebook debugger looks good:

    https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thirdstandpoint.com%2F%3Fp%3D327

    And since there’s no image for this post, NGFB selected your default image:

    ngfbOpenGraph             :: get                      : calling this->ngfb->media->get_default_image(1,"ngfb-open-graph")
ngfbMedia                 :: get_default_image        : using default img url = https://www.thirdstandpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/fb_avatar.jpg

    This all looks fine. Are you expecting something different?

    No I’d be very pleased that it shows the exact same image of the debugger. But this is what I see on FB :

    I tried with 2 different ways : Post directly from Jetpack OR post from twitter. Both don’t work.

    BUT

    What is weird is that if I add the link directly of the post to fb it works fine…

    Jetpack must be specifying additional information, which is incorrect.

    I don’t know how you would post to Facebook from Twitter, or what additional information Twitter would send (presumably the Tweet text)…

    The Facebook Debugger shows the information that Facebook will use, unless it is told otherwise.

    See “Q4. Can I use other social sharing buttons than those of NGFB Open Graph+?” from the FAQ, which sounds like it may apply in your case.

    I am closing this thread since there is no issue with NGFB Open Graph+.

    Q4 doesn’t help me. And the hurry you have on getting ride of my problem is pretty frustrating. Did you even read the other part of my last post ? Twitter was a second option for test purposes. Just because posting normally, using your plugin wouldn’t work.

    The Open Graph tags are accurate, as the Facebook Debugger showed. If you share the URL, either from a standard Facebook Like/Send button or posting the URL directly on Facebook, you will get what the debugger shows.

    If you post using alternative methods, that also define an image, title, description, etc., then these will be used. I would suggest you avoid these methods since they are not standard or scalable.

    The example URL you provided contains accurate Open Graph meta tags — there are no apparent issues on that page. I can’t really comment on how or what JetPack shares since I don’t use, nor am I implicated in the development of that plugin.

    BTW, If you have a specific issue with NGFB Open Graph+, I’m happy to help, but like I said, I can’t provide support for other plugins like JetPack, since I don’t even use them. Perhaps you should try some of the browser based addons/buttons, or turn on the NGFB Open Graph+ buttons and use those, or even just post the link directly in Facebook.

    js.

    Its alright man. I’ve added the code manually and now it work with Jetpack OR twitter. Thing that your sophisticated plugin couldn’t do. I guess I should mark it as bugged.

    You’r welcome to close the thread now.

    For anyone who’s having issue with this almost finish plugging concerning the image shared on FB, you just need to copy past that between the <head> </head> of your page, debug it in FB and it works perfectly well, remember to change whatever is between the quotes :

    <meta property="og:image" content="IMAGE-URL"/>
<meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="WEBSITE-URL" />
<meta property="og:type" content="blog" />
<meta property="og:title" content="TITLE" />
<meta property="og:description" content="DESCRIPTION" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="TITLE" />
