When sharing a link from my blog it used to provide a preview. However, now when I share a link the preview does not show up. The site is http://sacandbeyond.com
When I only share the main url above it shows a preview of an old post. When sharing a specific post say
http://sacandbeyond.com/2012/01/11/coachella-2012-lineup-announced/
It never pulls the preview at all. I use wordpress and just recently went to the timeline on facebook.
I've checked my site on the object debugger tool and get back the below, which appears to be ok.
Any suggestions on what might be causing this problem?

Open Graph Warnings That Should Be Fixed
Inferred Property: The og:url property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The og:title property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The og:image property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The og:locale property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
What you have to do (if you have the permissions to do so on your blog) is add some og:tags to the HTML markup of your page. Facebook needs this information in order to know how to correctly preview your link.
You can read more about the tags and how to use them at this link :

I am trying to share content from my website, http://www.banglanews24.com.
When I try to share any link from the website above in Facebook, it shows an error message like:
"It looks like a link that you're sharing might be unsafe. Please
remove this
link: http://cdn.bn.banglanews24.com/media/files/june_2015/june_17"
My website does not contain unsafe content, it is in line with Facebook's terms and conditions. However, Facebook marks it as unsafe link.
Facebook flags sites with this warning if they provide malformed metadata using the Open Graph Protocol.
To help pinpoint what content is causing Facebook to flag your page as unsafe, you can use the Facebook Debugger Tool.
For http://www.banglanews24.com, the tool shows several warnings, any or all of which might be the root cause of your issue.
Inferred Property The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided,
even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The 'og:title' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags. og:image
could not be downloaded or is too small
og:image was not defined, could not be downloaded or was not big enough. Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and
use an image that's at least 200x200px and is accessible from
Facebook.
Share App ID Missing The '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.
in facebook its common problems.. facebook thinkd your website might br spam.. related questions
you keep an feedback to facebook
regards
I added metadata for og:title, og:image etc.
But facebook for some reason does not see them.
I get error:
Object at URL 'http://www.heliconbooks.com/article/authorlanding' of type 'website' is invalid because a required property 'og:title' of type 'string' was not provided.
I looked at the facebook scraper and for some reason these meta tags are omitted. When I look at the source, I see them.
What am I doing wrong?
Check https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/echo?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heliconbooks.com%2Farticle%2Fauthorlanding
There you can see that FB doesn't see any OG tags. If I look at the source of the website you linked, there are no OG tags as well. So, fix you code according to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/howtos/maximizing-distribution-media-content#tags
I think I found the reason, facebook has seen a different page template since my system has adaptive templates based on visitor IP.
Now it shows an image, but not the image I wanted. I guess I have to continue researching it.
I am working on a website and I am having problems with the like buttom of facebook
when someone do a post it should show the like button but I don't see it
I saw a similar question where one of the user said that if we use Facebook LINTER -> https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint will fix the problem... But I still have the same error.
Here is what I got from the link

Like Button Warnings That Should Be Fixed
Admins And App ID Missing: fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing.
These tags are necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story
that generates a high click-through rate.

Please check all the images with tag og:image in the given url and
ensure that it meets the recommended specification.
How can I fix this ?
Look for JavaScript errors. If JavaScript gets broken on post, other elements like the Facebook like button will not render
Can someone please, please, for the life of me tell me why:
If I visit and "like" the page:
http://www.smashbox.com/product/6036/17776/index.tmpl
If I visit and "like" the page:
http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P298819
THEN, if I check my "likes" via the graph API (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ then clicking the link next to the bullet called "Likes") in the results....ONLY the smashbox.com like is there, but sephora.com is MISSING!!!
Please someone tell me why sephora.com LIKES do NOT appear in the graph api response when they SHOULD. Is it a meta og:tag issue? Thank you in advance!
Use the Facebook debugger. It will tell you the following for sephora.com:

If you fix those issues it might solve your problem. Also check your other url, it has too some errors associated with the open graph.
I'm having a little bit of trouble. It seems that Facebook can't reach my website. So I get this error message under the Facebook comment box, and also I'm not able to like anything on my website.
First I got this error:
Critical Errors That Must Be Fixed
Error Scraping Page: Bad Response Code
Now I get this error:
Error Updating Page:

None of my links works, testing:

"Document returned no data"
edit
I've made a new .html page with just the code for Facebook commentbox. I got the same error.
edit 2
I've cleared my .htaccess, still the same error.
edit 3
I have another domain at the web host, Facebook can't reach that website either I'd just noticed. My control panel is Parallels® H-Sphere. Is there anything I can check there? I will contact my webhost.
I can see your page and it appears that Facebook is able to lint it:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fiseeahappyface.com%2Fhaving-a-rough-day-at-work
However, you still have a few warnings to fix.
