Setting "Fallback" Photo for link

1. if you view your page source you’ll see this: “<!– Facebook Open Graph protocol plugin NEEDS an admin or app ID to work, please visit the plugin settings page! –>”
That means that you need to fill out the settings in the plugin for it to start working. Read the plugin instructions as it explains what you need and how to get it.

2. You have another plugin outputting og: tags. And that’s going to cause problems with Facebook. I can’t tell which plugin it is but you’ll need to track that down. It’s using this image: https://bytephoria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/face_twitter_pdf.jpg but it doesn’t output all the required tags anyways.

OK…. now onto your numbered questions:
1. Once you complete the plugin instructions (#1 above) you can put in the default/fallback image in the plugin settings and save. That technically should then show for the homepage (depends on your theme but you should be okay with that)

2. 1. make sure you run it through the facebook debugger (also in plugin instructions) and fetch new info. and 2. see my 1&2 above. the other plugin is doing that code right now.

3. see my 1&2 above.

FIx that stuff and you’ll be fine. Cheers

Chuck,

Thanks for your response! I’m something of a neophyte, so do you know how I can go about figuring out WHICH plugin has that conflicting “og:tags” output and how to fix it?

Thanks!

no worries man. If it IS a plugin, turning everything off then back on one by one will tell you.
I’d keep one tab open with your plugins admin page. And another tab open with one of your pages in view-source mode. just turn a plugin on, then refresh the view-source tab and see if those other og: tags show up.
You’ll figure it out then.

Or just look at plugins that do any sort of sharing or social stuff – those guys usually start dumping in random open graph tags.

edit: forgot to add. if you turn off all plugins and that other OG: tag grouping is in there that means it’s in your theme somewhere – maaybe in the header.php or functions.php but completely depends on your theme.
