    FB Sharing Debugger gives a warning about missing property:
    The following required properties are missing: fb:app_id

    Unless I am mistaken, FB App ID is optional, not required.
    Any thoughts?

    Using WordPress 5.5
    Yoast SEO Plugin 14.8

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    After solving an issue with the SSL certificate, images are now shown when sharing posts to FB.

    Uploaded an image in the plugin (‘used if the post/page being shared does not contain any images’). This image was shown when sharing the page.
    Then I cleared the image in the plugin, and scraped the URL again (FB Sharing Debugger).
    Still seems to be showing when sharing.

    What do you think? Is the issue solved now?
    Or should I apply the workaround again? (uploading an image in the plugin)

    @karstravels Regarding your first question, the ‘Facebook App ID’ that you have the option to input in Yoast SEO under Social>Facebook is a specific ID number assigned to your Facebook application (if you have one). You can find additional information on registering and configuring your Facebook application ID here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/register/#app-id.

    If you have not specified a Facebook app ID for your site this does not interfere with the ability to share posts on Facebook, and if you don’t have a Facebook application you can just leave the ‘Facebook App ID’ field blank. We also have more information on this here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/warning-fb-app-id-hasnt-been-included-in-the-meta-tags/

    As for the page itself, we checked on the Open Graph metadata output on the page at https://karstravels.com/ and see the following:

    <meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />
    <meta property="og:type" content="website" />
    <meta property="og:title" content="Go on a road trip at least once in your life - KarsTravels" />
    <meta property="og:description" content="KarsTravels is all about road trips, family travel, hotel reviews, where to eat, national parks and cultural experiences. Read about it on our blog." />
    <meta property="og:url" content="https://karstravels.com/" />
    <meta property="og:site_name" content="KarsTravels" />
    <meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/KarsTravels-199183207645665" />
    <meta property="article:modified_time" content="2020-07-17T21:33:36+00:00" />
    <meta property="og:image" content="https://karstravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/DSC_0297.jpg" />
    <meta property="og:image:width" content="1920" />
    <meta property="og:image:height" content="1080" />

    We then confirmed that this data is loading as expected when we previewed the link in Facebooks Sharing Debugger here, so the issue does appeared to be resolved.
