I m integrating facebook sharer option for my website. Everything is going smoothly but facebook is taking contents to be shared somewhere from its cache. Its is sharing previous contents, my changes are not reflecting. How can i tell facebook to read share content from my meta data instead of is caches?
Put it in the debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
After putting in your URL(s), click "Fetch new scrape information" to refresh the Open Graph tags.

When I share a page from my website, I have ANY thumbnail attached to my post on Facebook. But, if I preview my page with the Facebook debug tool, Facebook is showing me the thumbnail.
You can try it here developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
In the input URL put this page: http://www.team-exodia.fr/forum/threads/ouverture-de-la-section-garrys-mod-darkrp.6641/.
Now you see the thumbnail if the page is shared.
But now if you share this you didn't see the image preview on Facebook.

This issue is all of my page on my forum. I don't understand.
Does anyone know what's happening here? Thanks.
It works fine for me, although you do not have any Open Graph tags on your website. You should ALWAYS include them, the debugger tells you about that too. Here´s a nice list of the needed ones: http://ogp.me/
Dont´t forget to refresh the URL(s) in the debugger after changing it, the Facebook cache can be tricky.
I'm sharing posts on facebook and it's not using my updated OG and meta tags. How long does it take for the changes to make affect.
You can refresh the OG tags in the Facebook debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
You can also take a look at this thread with the same question: Share Cache Timeout
Answer from the Like Button docs:
Why and when does Facebook scrape my page?
Facebook needs to scrape your page to know how to display it around
the site. This happens every 24 hours to ensure the properties are up
to date. The page is also scraped when the URL is entered into the
Debugger Tool.
Btw, there is a nice way to update many pages at once in this thread: Facebook Open Graph not clearing cache
In my rails application i put social sharing icon of FB.
When i click on FB icon then popup open. Title and desc is display correct which i want but image is not display proper. Popup take a different image from project which i not assigned.
I tried lots of time to change image but not success. I also remove image from project still its display in popup.
What is actual problem i can not found. Fb cache issue or something different.
Any one have a idea then please share it.
Thanks
Once a url has been shared, Facebook's crawler, which has a user agent of facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+https://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php), will access your page and cache the meta information. To force Facebook servers to clear the cache, use the Facebook Url Debugger / Linter Tool that they launched in June 2010 to refresh the cache and troubleshoot any meta tag issues on your page.

Hope this help
I have cleared facebook cache to change "share image" by using
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug for specific URL.
I want to clear cache and change "share image" for entire site. There are hundreds of URL, so it is tough to clear cache for each url by entering here
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Also I use http://www.webcoachbd.com?fbrefresh=5465468464 this in above debugger. Yet not appearing correct image when share in facebook for many URL in this site (webcoachbd.com).
somebody help plz.
I have problem with Facebook Sharer.
