[Plugin: Wordbooker] Thumbnail not showing

No – you need to make sure that you’ve set all the posting options. I can look at coding in the changes but its not going to be for several days due to other commitments and my day job.

steve,

Some of my thumbnails started not working again. Only thing I have done recently is to change to “post as link”

I am using another plugin “Facebook Like Thumbnail” which creates a meta property=”og:image” 150×150.jpg

Wordbooker creates the same but 60×60.jpg

However facebook fails to see any of these only some posts. It is probably not a wordbooker problem but its hard to tell.

Seems like if the main image is taller than 500px then facebook never sees the thumbnails?

any ideas?

Having two og matching og tags is not a good idea. Wordbooker creates no images at all – it simply uses the image urls it can find.

FB cache images on their servers, that is done as a background asynchronous process when you post (and I suspect its semi async on a share action). There have a been a lot of reports of larger images being “lost”.. but there are no documented image size limits.

Is there a way I can prevent wordbooker from creating the og tag, so that only the other plugin I use creates one?

thank you for the previous reply

You can tell Wordbooker to not produce any OG tags – its documented in the user guide.

The fix for this issue here was to go into “manage product images” and click “use as product thumbnail” for the image you want to use. Fixed all the broken image feeds for me ??

Steve…

Can you post to facebook with a full size image?

Currently we are using “post as link” and it uses a thumbnail.

Would it be possible to create a “post image”

thanks

No – Wall posts can only contain thumbnail sized images – Facebook auto shrinks them.

I will be adding “Post as Photo” in a later version.

I’m still a little new at creating websites, but could this idea possibly give people a quick fix until more concrete solutions are found?

If you can see in the diag that it’s pulling the “wordbooker_blank.jpg” and ignores or can’t find the image you actually wanted, couldn’t you replace it with the image you are wanting and rename it “wordbooker_blank.jpg?” (After backing up the original image just in case)

If the file size doesn’t matter (program rejects image unless specific attributes are present…in this case, file size will have to match) then it shouldn’t be hard to do. You’ll be stuck with it as the default for everything, but it sounds like from what I’ve read many can’t get any image to post period. Something is better than nothing imo…
