I found yesterday the some of the links of my website I want to post, can't be posted on my Facebook page.
After some research and reading in https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/, I found the some of the posts in my site are blocked but not all of them.
I got this message:
This link is blocked, or you have triggered an excessive amount of
scrapes. If you think you're seeing this by mistake, please let us
know.
and this also
fb:app_id hasn't been included in the meta tags. Specify the app ID so
that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the
app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share
dialog. Otherwise, the default app id( 966242223397117 ) will be
assigned.
And website is clean doesn't indicate any virus ...ets.
Some of the post's are OK but other are blocked and I can't get idea what is the difference between them.
Also check my open graph meta tag's, they also looks Ok. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
for the app_id issue:
Go to the following page: https://www.facebook.com/insights
Then use the "Create an App" and "Add your Domain" buttons to generate the app id for your site to be included in the meta tags on your web pages.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="1234" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="your_app_id" />
I have the same problem. It started after I updated my Yoast plugin to the latest version.

Im trying to enable moderation with the Facebook comments plugin and I realized I hadn't yet added the following:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{{app id}}"/>
The Facebook Sharing Debugger was returning the following warning:
"e 'fb:app_id' property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog."
I added the meta tag (with my correct app id number) to my index.html file but the debugger still returns the same warning and my comments plugin still doesn't show the Moderation tab.
It's been hours since I added that meta tag.
Can anyone offer some insight on this issue and/or a solution?
I am using wordpress for my blog I also added it in spanish but when I share the link on Facebook it does not show any images just the link info how can I fix this?
I went on Facebook debug and it says: The 'og:url' property is required, but not present.
the link im using is www.zabiknowsitall.com/es
Try adding the image meta tag too.
<meta property="og:image" content="http://zabiknowsitall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/cropped-header1.png" />
I've found Facebook to cache pages quite aggressively so you may need to wait a while for it to update.
The reason why Facebook can't read the og meta at all though is due to your server returning an HTTP status code of 500 (Server Error). It should be returning a 200, so you'll need to explore why this happening.
A handy tool for testing opengraph can be found here:

I tried to enable Facebook Insights for my web. I added my page's APP_ID to fb:admins to enable every admin of my page to access Insights when logged into Facebook as Page. But when I try to save the dialog message appears:
The app ID "123,123,123,123,123" specified within the "fb:app_id" meta tag was invalid.
I double checked my app ID and it's correct.
To link Domain Insights to an app rather than a user, you need to use the fb:app_id tag:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="your_app_id" />
Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/insights/
Only personal IDs are allowed in the fb:admins meta tag. Application IDs won't work, even though they are actually valid (in contrary to what the error message says).
Optionally, it may also work with page_id:
<meta property="fb:page_id" content="395450240451647" />
The suggested app_iddidn't work at all :(
You have to make public you app to start works.
error invalid fb:app_id is sometimes misleading. The account you are using to test this needs to be added into test users list of facebook app. Or try to test using the admin account.
Sometime your facebook information already crawl by facebook and it will be cache
You need to clear there cache to test again
You can access this link : https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
paste your clink you want to test
Click Crawl again
I have a site that is dealing me fits and I have tried everything I can think of. The problem is when you enter a url from the site in a Facebook post, it doesn't show a thumbnail option. I have a plugin that is providing the correct og meta data, but Facebook isn't recognizing it. I tried the Facebook debugger and it tells me that URL requested a HTTP redirect, but it could not be followed. I have no idea what is going on with this site and my client is very dependent of the traffic generated from Facebook. Can anyone tell me what is going on, please? Any post url on the site is causing the same problems.
Site is birminghammommy.com
One of the urls not working is http://www.birminghammommy.com/2012/04/paint-the-town-red-birmingham/
Any help you guys are able to provide will be greatly appreciated.

Open Graph tags must be like this:
<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock" />
but if you look at your site you will see that your tags are wrong
<meta name='og:title' content='Paint the Town Red, Birmingham!' />
try fixing them.
I am using Facebook Send button in 3 pages of my website. Before i send the message, the title, website and description looks fine. After i send, it shows up different title and different description in the message . I have no idea what's wrong in here? Is that my mistake somewhere or cache issue or something else?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Facebook has a tool called URL Linter. This tool gives us an idea about how a url will be shared on facebook, what content, which image will be fetched. We can use this tool for any url and it fetches the latest title, description, excerpt and other stuff that will be shown while sharing the link. If you use an already shared URL with this tool then facebook fetches the latest content, and also updates it cache with the latest content.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
At first you have to cross check and confirm that the url shared is of the right page, not the simple domain address. It will be better to cross check the following contents inside <Head> tag to make sure that you have done basic code requirements.
<link href="{URL OF THE PAGE}" rel="canonical">
<meta content="{YOUR FB APP ID}" property="fb:app_id">
<meta content="{YOUR PAGE TITLE}" property="og:title">
<meta content="website" property="og:type">
<meta content="{URL OF THE PAGE}" property="og:url">
<meta content="{LOGO IMAGE URL}" property="og:image">
<meta content="{YOUR SITE NAME}" property="og:site_name">
Once this is done, it should mostly resolve your issue with different title and different description.
If you still face issue, go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Input URL or Access Token and click DEBUG button. It will guide you if there is any errors in the in accessing the page by facebook.
Hope this helps.
