Facebook Open Graph Info

BB Theme
1

Been having some issues with this. All settings seems fine. Most of my post are videos, no images on the page, but the featured image is set as the property=“og:image”. When I post the link to Facebook, it shows a different image, not the featured image.

So I have to use the Facebook debug tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/) to detect the right image.

Any suggestion would be helpful.

Thx

Hey O’Neil,

Just letting you know that BB isn’t doing anything special to those meta properties. The problem here is that Facebook is caching the data it receives from your website. Check the thread below for more info.

Hey O’Neil,

I tried pasting the link above on Facebook and it shows the image set under og:image as the image on the link? Or is that the problem? Did you want a different image to be set as the og:image? You might want to use an SEO plugin for that. I know Yoast SEO offers a page by page setting for this. Check out my reply on the thread below. :slight_smile:

Yes, the image is set fine. Thats not the problem. The problem is when I post it to Facebook, it shows the wrong image. I have to run the debug to fix it.

So was just wondering if anyone experience this.

What if i set in beaver to show the feature image on the post - but hide when its mobile. Is that possible?

Ah, gotcha! So again, the problem is with how Facebook handles the data it receives from your site. The thread I posted above was having the same issue as you and that’s the only way around it, running the site through their debug tool. :slight_smile: Below is taken from the thread I posted above.

Facebook is caching the data it scrapes from your website for quite some time. Facebook is not looking if you made changes to your website and will only check your page again when the cache is expiring.

To manually update the Facebook cache, you can use the Facebook developer tool here Sharing Debugger - Meta for Developers

Type in your URL and click debug
After the page has reloaded, click on Fetch new scrape information.
