So I have a blog: www.elnacional.com.uy
Each article has it's open graph meta tags, so when someone Likes the article, a title, picture and description are posted on facebook.
But suddenly it started working wrongly, now when u like the page u just get the Link to be posted on facebook, not the description nor the title nor the picture.
And I have no idea what's going on because nothing was changed.
Please use the debugger to troubleshoot your problems.

This shows the following error:
Object at URL 'http://www.elnacional.com.uy/jugadores/peralta-hablo-de-lo-que-se-viene-en-el-apertura/' is invalid because the configured 'og:type' of 'news' is invalid.
The "news" type for "og:type" isn't a valid type according to the documentation here.
This is why it doesn't know what to do with your title, image and description.
I suggest using the type article as it is documented as
article - Use article for any URL that represents transient content -
such as a news article, blog post, photo, video, etc.
The meta tags should be in the head, maybe that's why it isn't working :)

I'm trying to post a link to my website on my Facebook, but it won't show a picture. I am using meta content tags, but I originally used a URL with "whitespace" and got this error:
URL 'http://ixxx.photobucket.com/albums/b567/xxxxxxxxxx/Screen Shot 2015-04-29 at 10.15.44 AM_zpsofejd5mn.png' for property 'og:image:url' of the object at 'http://xxxxxxxxx.com/news/2015/4/30/studiomonthly_april' is invalid because it contains whitespace characters.
I have since updated the image URL to a different link, but when I fetch new scrape information it will only show me the old link. I've been doing this for hours! Please help!
Thank you for trying to help me!
It's a temporary bug.
Facebook team is working on a fix:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/978421888869140/
Facebook seems to change things fast.. All existing questions I have seen are older than facebooks "big image" posts, that this question is (partially) related to.
I'm testing Facebook interaction by including meta tags in my page to add a YouTube player as og:video on a page on my site.
All OG tags validate and I can successfully post links and get the video embeded. The problem I get is that while both the Facebook OG Debug Tool and the post does understand the title and description of the page, the post seems to behave strangely when played compared to a youtube link.
Look at the differences here: http://imgur.com/a/kOvkk
I have tried all combinations and order of OG tags I can think of, but I cannot seem to get the same result from my page link as I get from the YouTube link. And since the Facebook Debugger Sees the exact same values, I can not see how they are interpreted so differently..?
Here is the OG Debugger Comparison: http://i.imgur.com/dqok8aG.png
Has anyone else experienced this, or is familiar with the inner workings of Facebook?
The pages used to test are these, although the one on my site might have changed when you read this.
Solved it! The behaviour is triggered by the size of the og-image, and even if I still cannot understand why the youtube link behaves differently with the exact same image url, I can workaround it by manually setting a smaller og:image.

i have problem with SHARE/LIKE or whatever on my site with facebook meta tags.
I am reading all forums and so but still didnt find answer, why when i click on share / like there is no information, no title, no image, nothing, only URL (haluze.eu).
Site: http://haluze.eu/video/vynikajuci-vykon-v-sou-svedsko-ma-talent/1082/
I have checked OG reader http://ogp.spypixel.com/ and all og tags have been successfully red.
BUT, when i check mentioned site with FB DEBUG i got errors like: The 'og:type' property is required, but not present.
You can see meta tags in source code of mentioned site.
I AM LOST!!! Thanks for help.
I have read this earlier question:
META Description and Facebook
and applied the directions stated therein because our problems are similar.
The message returned by the debugger is included in the png file attached herein:
I cannot upload images yet, so I am providing a link:

how do i resolve the problem
thanks
I'm integrating a Like button in the individual blog posts on my company's website ( www.atlas-games.com , blog by CLASSIC Blogger at http://blog.atlas-games.com ... can't use a widget). Unfortunately the metadata isn't passing through, so in Facebook it looks like:
Michelle Nephew likes a link.
Atlas Games: Charting New Realms of Imagination <--website's name, not post title
The item links work correctly on "link" and "Atlas Games ..." directing to the individual post, but it's using generic text rather than the individual post's title, the site name I specified for Facebook, and the image.
Object Debugger comes up with Inferred Property errors for URL, Title, and Image, though I specify them in the header of my page. For some reason Facebook just isn't finding the metadata, seems like. See the report here:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.atlas-games.com%2F
I'm having trouble posting my code here ... View Source, though, and you'll see the Meta Property tags in the header and the iframe in the post's footer code (commented out right now).
This is the third time over the course of several months that I've spent hours trying to get this to work, with no luck, so it's not a temporary issue. Any suggestions?
It seems like the structure of the HTML might be the issue as it could be stopping Facebook finding the Open Graph tags.
Fixing these validation errors might allow the tags to be parsed:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.atlas-games.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Also there are some template variables in the OG tags which aren't being replaced with values:
<meta property="og:title" content="<$BlogItemTitle$>" />
I have the same problem on my blog! And I can't even insert html for the facebook like button directly from facebook developers, into my blog, my blogger blog tells me that the html is erred. I think it has something to do with blogger being a google blog and google now having google+. I noticed all my problems began when google+ came out, I think google is possibly screwing up the facebook like buttons on google sites, to gain monopoly through "share on google+" .
