Hello i have a wordpress blog with open graph tags generated by jetpack. My problem is that some times facebook cant pull article image and facebook linter warns me about:
og:image could not be downloaded or is too small
Give this to facebook linter tool
http://www.radioevros.gr/2014/05/sobaro-troxaio-ston-notio-kombo-tou-soufliuo/
It will grab the image but the warning is still there , sometimes the image is not pulling.
Image hotlink protection is off and image is bigger than 200x200.
Thanks

Having issues with link posts shared on Facebook. All og:image tags are present (image, width, height, etc.) and the images appear when a link is shared, however after an amount of time (currently varying from a few hours to a few days), the image disappears. The post remains with a white image, and the debugger shows the placeholder (despite the image url still being valid). Inspecting the image on a post just returns a single pixel in FB's cache.enter link description here
Example
Post: https://www.facebook.com/radioborders/posts/pfbid0TEUxr6EENB2kdW9z9HwybuGagrec9KiSYaGug2yyTVnpsHU8SqAJ7tuS4z8tUeCwl
Debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fplanetradio.co.uk%2Fborders%2Fentertainment%2Fcelebrity%2Ftom-mann-fiancee-died%2F
URL: https://planetradio.co.uk/borders/entertainment/celebrity/tom-mann-fiancee-died/
Have done the usual things of using the debugger to scrape the URL again, but just shows the generic placeholder image. Scraping the url provided in og:image returns the image successfully, but scraping that doesn't fix the link posts.
Any ideas to fix this?
We use the Facebook Share option on a website with newsarticles. The website is build with PHP and uses Smarty. We generate a unique URL (stripped like /news/headline-of-the-article) and have the meta properties defined.
When the owner shares a links with an image that was previously uploaded, everything is fine. When he uploads a news image, inserts it into the article and shares, Facebook takes another pictures, the pictures that it finds first on the source-code. Altho, in the preview-box just before you publish, it shows the correct image. Once placed, it's the wrong one.
The Facebook Debug Tool shows as og:image tag > og:image domain/UserFiles/images/news/standard_14.jpg
But when I look at the RAW tags og:image shows > domain/UserFiles/images/news/bosuil_1.jpg
So the og:image tag does it job and generates the correct URL, but facebook still posts the wrong image. When I force Facebook (manually) to scrape again, it shows everything good and also shares it correct.
I don't get it...
I had the same problem and found these best practices on facebook's developer wiki: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#precaching
Use og:image:width and og:image:height Open Graph tags
Using these tags will specify the image dimensions to the crawler so that it can
render the image immediately without having to asynchronously download
and process it.
After specifying the width and height we have not had a problem with facebook crawling the right picture immediately.
I am developing a website ( https://last-mail.org ) and am trying to hook it up to Facebook's Open Graph API to have nice information and an image show when people share it on Facebook.
However, Facebook keeps complaining that something is wrong with my image:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=last-mail.org
telling me that Provided og:image could not be downloaded or is not big enough. Please use an image that's at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook. Image 'https://last-mail.org/images/forgetmenotlogo5.png' will be used instead.
I know:
The image is 1200px x 900px
I've tried both .jpg and .png formats
I've tried hosting it on the https:// (private_html) part of the site, as well as on the http:// (public_html) part of the site
It does show up in the previews on the OpenGraph debugger tool page.
Browsers have no problem with displaying the image.
Why is this image rejected? How can I fix this?
I've spent HOURS on this...
The page below reports no problems when checked in the Facebook debugger tool - if I click on the thumbnail shown beside the og:image it shows my 1200x630 image, which should be plenty large enough and with the correct scaling that they recommend...
But when I share that page on Facebook, the image is heavily cropped!

What in the world is going on here?
I have created a company blog and have begun implementing various social sharing plugins, had a look at integrating with OG and now Facebook won't pull any images when the page is shared.
The debugger tool says that it can find a suitable image (the featured image for each post) and when I share the same link to LinkedIn the images pull fine.
I can't work out for the life of me what might be wrong, again it's not that Facebook isn't pulling the right image, it's not pulling ANY.
Does anyone have experience with this/know what might be wrong?
Change your og:url value to http://www.chapman-freeborn.com/en/blog/ ( add the trailing / )
Also fill your og:image value so facebook will get that image...
