I'm trying to publish on FB a link of my wife-website.
The Open Graph Debugger says that everything is fine (there is og:image tag and the image is 1200x630).
But the image isnt' displayed in the post, even if I try to scrape again the page!
Please, help me!

This bug was confirmed by FB not so long ago...
see: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/978421888869140/
I can confirm this issue also occurs on multiple sites I own. It began some time in the past 14 hours. The debugger is returning a valid output (but the post preview at the bottom is lacking the image).
My guess is that it is somehow related to the face that today (30/apr) they've forced all fb apps to migrate to sdk2.0.
I sure hope they're already working on a fix... but go figure :-/

The images of links shared from my website disappeared from my FaceBook business page.
I have a WordPress blog.
For about a year, there was no problem: if I shared a link from my website on FaceBook, the featured image was displayed.
A month ago, two problems arose:
Most of the images of links shared from my website disappeared from
one moment to another.
If I shared a new link from my website, the
image was displayed, but as soon as I posted something again, the
image belonging to the previous post disappeared.
I asked help from a developer (I am not skilled in programming), who fixed the problem for the future, so hopefully links I share in the future won't be affected by this problem. However: I still have 50 older posts the featured image of which are not diplayed.
This is my FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/izekmentesen/ Please scroll down to see there is no image displayed for older posts.
This is a recipe blog, so older posts are just as important as new ones, they will not loose their relevance.
Could anyone help me fix this issue?
I already tried these:
I tried to deactivate all plugins one by one. After each deactivation, I refreshed the cache of my website, re-fetched one of the affected links with FaceBook Object Debugger and checked if the image was diplayed on my FaceBook page. Nothing happened.
I tried to change the image (then refreshed the cache of my website, and re-fetched the link of the post with Object Debugger). This did not solve the problem either.
I set my Open Graph plugin to use the first image in the post as an og:image. (By default, it would use the featured image.) No success.
Whenever I make Object Debugger fetch a link from my website, I got this warning:
Extraneous Property: Objects of this type do not allow properties named 'og:site_name'.
The same warning is given concerning to: 'og:title', 'og:url', 'og:type',
'og:description','og:image','og:image:url', 'og:image:secure_url','og:image:width', 'og:image:height', 'article:publisher' and 'fb:app_id'.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
I have started to experience a really strange problem with Facebook link scraping/caching which seems random in nature.
On brand new posts when I go to check: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ with my new URL I get a message saying 'Cannot scrape: URL blocked'
We have literally been sharing URL's to Facebook for YEARS with no problem whatsoever. All open graph tags are present and working fine.
What is really weird is if I just manually press the 'scrape again' button it grabs all the bits properly and says everything is fine. It's always just the first attempt.
I have also tried manually calling the scrap API instead of letting Facebook do it when someone shares the URL for the first time and still sometimes (not always) it returns empty (just 'id' and 'url' returned) indicating the URL was blocked.
What's going on here it's driving me mad? We are nowhere near our API limits if maybe that was the issue...
Why would it say blocked first go on the debug page then literally 2 seconds later you press 'scrape again' and it works fine.
Just to note sometimes when it says blocked it still shows maybe the image in the link preview but no title or description. It's like it's grabbed some tags but then given up. Very strange...
I have checked our access logs and I can see 'Facebot' accessing our site fine.
Hope someone can help, I am really hoping this is some weird Facebook bug as I can't see any change in our code base that would effect this.
Facebook does not return anything helpful when this happens even with the API. I have no way in contacting Facebook direct either. If we are somehow getting blocked I would love to know why and fix that issue. But it's impossible to debug at the moment.
Just to note I have 3 sites all running the same code base (WordPress environment). They are all experiencing this issue. All been running fine for many years.
Cheers
This was to do with rate limiting that was not visible in the Facebook APP dashboard. Helpful...

Solution for your problem: You can use Facebook image button after adding link on Facebook news feed, like shown in iamge
second thing upload image on othe site and give the image path to your website and then put it on your news feed, you can get definitely positive result using this two methods.
also refer this image
thanks hope this two will work for your problem
Over the past few weeks we have been finding that facebook posts (not shares from the in-page FB button) have been failing to show the images tagged with og:image on our site. Our home page http://www.greatbritishchefs.com is an example. This seems to be a change in behaviour at Facebook's end because pages which were working a few weeks ago now do not. Also where a page is working currently, running it through the FB debugger causes it to immediately fail. Removing the og:image tag does not work. The images seem to be the right size, and the debugger results are free of errors regarding the image.
Would be grateful for help from anyone who is also experiencing this.
OK I found the resolution to this. What appears to have happened is that Facebook has become much more demanding about what kind of image urls it will work with in posts. The images on our site are sourced through a handler which preprocesses the image, putting a watermark on, resizing etc. and therefore the url might look like:
http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/getmedia/0ecdeb1f-c194-42a9-b465-012004a6cd99/AYW001-Website-Edited-Featured-Bacon-Breadsticks-Closeup/?width=420&height=270&ext=.jpg
This will now not work. For some reason, the url has to be completely vanilla without any query strings and with a standard image extension. When I rewrite the url for og:image to follow those rules, the images reappear in posts.
Hope this helps someone

I´m finishing my site in WP and everything seems ok but I can´t get the featured image from my posts to show when sharing the link in FB.
I tryed the debugger, it sees the image ok and returnes a 200 response code.
Debugger test result here
The image size is 300x227 so I understand there is no problem regarding size or proportion.
The Meta included about the image is http://www.momento-marketing.es/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Blog-Analitica-300x227.jpg'/>
Does anyone has a clue about this? Thanks a lot.
I have experienced very wobbly Facebook behavior recently, ie the last few days. Putting page through the Facebook debugger (with og image correctly specified), it says that a particular image is less than 200 x 200 when it is considerably more than this.
Several pages that used to give thumbnails very happily no longer do. Yet one with a really big image (for the sake of Pinterest) with the image reduced in size on the page, is fine.
One thing that DOES upset Facebook - the image has to be hosted on precisely the same domain as the page. I found that when I used a shortened version of my domain name (which forwards to the full one), that prevented thumbnails appearing. Suspect that even a subdomain for one, and not the other, might upset things.
Same problem here...when you try to share it on your browser trough the mobile website, it shows the image.. Try to share a link and replace https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u= to https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u= and you see it works, so must be a problem in the desktop Facebook website
Wordpress has changed its requirements for showing images on facebook timeline or on a facebook page. Even I experimented a lot of things and finally found out a solution. Here is how to do it,
Download WPSSO plugin from wordpress.com
Install the plugin
Then navigate into the plugin settings and find the "Images" tab
Set "Open graph Dimensions" as 600 x 315
Now use images above the size of 600 x 315 in your posts
Cick save settings and now try debugging the post with your facebook debugger tool.
I am sure this will solve your problem. If problems persist do post them we will try to reslve it.

here is my headache situation:
I have my weblog's single article page, if I try to share this page with the facebook like button, or with the old sharing bookmarklet, I get no image on Facebook post preview, and of course I don't get any image on my Facebook page too.
I can hear you say, well, check it with linter, sure, that's what I did, and this is what I've found so far:
Linter returns no error and it shows the right thumb image
if "after" the linter passage, I try to share the same page again, well, I get the thumb.
Do you have any idea of what's going on?
here you can see an example: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Flegrandj.eu%2Farticle%2Falain_baczynsky
this is the original page: http://legrandj.eu/article/alain_baczynsky
well, I know at this point it's not easy do debug, because I've "linted" almost all pages, but you can trust me, no images.
thank you!
if "after" the linter passage, I try to share the same page again, well, I get the thumb.
This is because you already tried to share them and they're now cached without images. If you want to get all pages fresh with image(s), you have to wait or re-lint every page you want to share in future. That's the only way to lift all caches immediately.
