I have a link to a page on my website. I've recently changed the open graph image and description for that page. I've called the Facebook Graph API to re-scrape my page and this API call returns with an HTTP status code of 200. The Facebook Sharing Debugger correctly shows the new image and new description:
When I then attempt to share this page on Facebook the link preview before posting correctly shows the new image and description:
However, when I then view the post on Facebook, the old image and description still appears:
Has anyone else encountered this before and found a satisfactory work around? Is this a Facebook bug?
This behavior appears to mirror the behavior in these SO questions, however neither of these questions have particularly satisfactory answers:

My website (http://www.guidoleurs.org) is finished, however if I want to share and promote it on social media I come across a problem. Somehow if I want to share my static frontpage on Facebook (by copy/pasting the link in a post) I only see “guidoleurs.org” without any information or image. Also beneath every blog post I have the Accesspress Social Share buttons, but if I want to use them to share a post, the Facebook post looks like “404 not found” (although the link works) without the featured image..
How can I fix this?
I also used the debug tool of Facebook and when I paste either link from my website in, I get the following result:

Since a few days sharing any souncloud to facebook only returns an image.
Before it shows an iframe.
Posted this bug on facebook and they answered
This issue is not a bug and is By Design. The issue appears to be on
SoundClouds side. From looking at the OG tags on their side they are
not specifying a video/audio source so there is no way for us to embed
the player
I made a test facebook post https://www.facebook.com/testingcf where you can see the issue
I cannot get the source field from the facebook API so only an imgae will be shown
I use Facebook share button to share my article (Title, description and image) on Facebook using Open Graph Meta and other default Meta
And my articles are echoed in post.php page like (mywebsite.com/post.php?id=post_id) which contents differ through post_id.
Well, while sharing a post on fb, facing some problems.
1: fb share doesn't detect the image belonging to the article/current post that is shared. (Thought the image URL in my Open Graph Meta is correct) and after sharing it on Facebook the link doesn’t redirect to the exact URL (mywebsite.com/post.php?id=post_id).
2: the fb share button is in my post.php page which shares different posts but sharing is counted same for all posts.
The FB share button has got an attribute (data-href="url-to-share") which my one is (data-href="<?php echo'post.php?id=post_id';?>").
Anyone know what and where is wrong with my code/URL addressing?
If your meta tags shows correct data then must be fb issue. I faced similar problem before.
Try debug your url in the FB debugger( https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ ). It helps.
Fb haven't grab your updated data because they have their own time/interval to grab new data from the website(if im not mistaken). Using the debugger u'll see how the share will look like and show missing details if any.
I'm trying to integrate open graph in my website, so that I can post a link to my relevant facebook page and it will display the relevant information (title, description etc).
Yet, even though it worked for some time, now it only displays my domain name regardless of the link I post. No images, no descs, nothing.
I've created a test page to find out what's wrong, but I've come to a dead end.
The test page is W3C valid, the Facebook debugger is parsing all the information correctly, the preview before I post the link to facebook is correct, but when I hit post it displays nothing, just the url.
I've tried several actions such as different doctypes, commenting out the open graph metas, moving js after the metas, removing the meta content-type to no avail, but if you can help me post the test page correctly to facebook, I think I'll be able to find what's wrong with my site.
My website: http://www.accorda.info
The test page: http://www.accorda.info/test.html
My facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/accorda.info
Replace the meta tag or delete some. I don't understand… Facebook OpenGraph Debug tool show IMBb info for your page.

Remember, Facebook don't update page info real-time. New meta tags can be visible in 2 days.
I am creating a facebook like to put on my site. This component will read all posts from a specific page`s wall and display them.
I want to get the required image post on my wall when any user like my page from my website.. I have multiple facebook likes on my page ..
My problem is that when a user like any of the like button it get any image from my page and post it my wall . But i want that it get the specific image and post to my wall..
i also tried to put og:image But no success :-(
Any suggestions please.
You haven't given enough code to diagnose your problems, but assuming that you've followed the open graph instructions on the Facebook Developers site - http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/ - It would be a good idea pass your target URL through the Facebook Debugger (formerly the URL Linter) it will help show you any errors you have regarding your open graph tagging implementation:
