[Plugin: Wordbooker] Image wrong (since Update…)

    Hi Steve, since I updated to the all-new-version, Wordbooker posts a wrong post-image together with the post to FB. I’ve set it to use the post-thumbnail (which worked fine before the update…).

    The post is posted to FB correctly, all that is wrong is the image, which isn’t related to the post at all!

    Help please.

    Is it posting an image at all – or is it Facebook doing a backwards scrape?

    I’d really need to see a full diagnostic trace of a post where it goes wrong – and it will need to be a totally new post as FB will have cached things.

    Hi Steve, thanks for your reply.

    “Is it posting an image at all – or is it Facebook doing a backwards scrape?”

    • I’m sorry, but I don’t know. Let me know how to test that and I will get back to you.
    • Most of the time, no image appears on FB at all. In one case, an image appears that is not related to the post.
    • The FB-page is https://www.facebook.com/zeldaxlove64com
      (All posts up to 12 October at 14:41 were published with the old version of your plugin, all the posts above this date were published with the new version)

    Is this what you need?

    The image selected in this post’s “Featured Image” settings (right-hand-site in WordPress post-editor) is https://www.zeldaxlove64.com/wp-content/uploads/amaedit.png.

    It would be much appreciated if this problem could be solved.

    Just to add my two cents, I am new to this really nice plugin (version 2.0.8) and am also getting the wrong image when blog posts are posted to Facebook. It seems to use a random image from a Recent Articles sidebar list rather than from the post itself. How do I not include an image at all? I would rather have no image than the wrong one until there is a resolution. Thanks in advance.

    Chargee – the plugin should default to a blank image if it can’t find any in the post. The problem is that FB changed the way the API works and if you provide no image at all in the data then FB goes to the page and does a scrape sp Wordbooker should always send one (even if its the blank) to stop this from happening. Setting diagnostics to the highest level should show what images Wordbooker is finding and trying to send to Facebook.

    What should we be looking for in the diagnostics? Not seeing anything there that uses the word “image”. I just posted to FB with the new version of your plugin and there’s a blank spot where the image should be.

    The diagnostics (try setting the view level to all) should show Wordbooker checking for images in your post and then finally telling you which image it is using.

    The fact that there is a blank suggests that Wordbooker is working as expected – its found no image in your post so has sent its blank one.

    You might want to check your Image handling options – if you’ve set the thumbnail/featured image option and your post doesn’t have an image thumbnail/featured image then Wordbooker will not find an image in your post.

    I’m sorry, but I don’t know. Let me know how to test that and I will get back to you

    Can people with image handing problems please start their own thread – I’ve now got 4 people all posting on the same thread and its just about impossible to support you all without everything just descending into confusion.

    Preferably – take it over to the Support Forums at : https://wordbooker.tty.org.uk/forums/

    where you can post diagnostic traces without them being deleted by moderators.

    Steve, your latest update (Version 2.0.9) solved the problem. Images work now correctly again for me. Thx man!

    Please delete this thread (I can’t remove my comments myself).
