So, I have this article page which sometimes has post with image of 600x315 dimension and are mostly under 100kb.
Following are the meta I use on the article.php site, but when I share a post on Facebook the image section shows blank. What is that I am missing on these meta?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $row['keyword']; ?>">
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo metadesc($row['description']); ?>">
<link rel="canonical" href="<?php echo $site_path.$url; ?>" />
<!-- for Facebook -->
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo ucletters($row['title']); echo ' | '; echo $site_name;?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $site_path.'uploads/images/'.$row['image']; ?>" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="200" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="200" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo $site_path.$url; ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo metadesc($row['description']); ?>" />
<!-- for Twitter -->
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta name="twitter:title" content="<?php echo ucletters($row['title']); echo ' | '; echo $site_name;?>" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="<?php echo metadesc($row['description']); ?>" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="<?php echo $site_path.'uploads/images/'.$row['image']; ?>" />
Visit
Facebook developer debug tool
to check the issue with your url(s).Read their guidelines and that will surely work.Good luck

I understand there there are many questions regarding FB open graphs already asked on the forum. I have looked through pretty much evrything (multiple) times. I just dont get it why I continue to get the above errors when everything seems to be inline with what FB and others are saying.
here is what I have in the header.tpl

I use define() function to make settings page for my site.
In my settings.php
define('DESCRIPTION', "Admin Dashboard Template");
define('TITLE', "Modern");
define('KEYWORDS', "admin,dashboard");
define('AUTHOR', "Minh Tan");
In my index.php
<?php include('config/settings.php'); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Title -->
<title><?php echo TITLE; ?> | Login - Sign in</title>
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport"/>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="description" content=<?php echo DESCRIPTION; ?> />
<meta name="keywords" content=<?php echo KEYWORDS; ?> />
<meta name="author" content=<?php echo AUTHOR; ?> />
But when i run on my browser. It make this results:
Help me! Thanks.
Wrap your PHP statements in double quotes.. they go missing after your charset.
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo DESCRIPTION; ?>" />
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo KEYWORDS; ?>" />
<meta name="author" content="<?php echo AUTHOR; ?>" />
I've got a share button that I am trying to modify to my specific needs. Here is the code.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<html>
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="lotsanumbers" />
<meta property="og:title" content="FOR SALE"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="product"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.website.com.au/php_test.php"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.website.com.au/ddfut14-1148.jpg"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="http://www.website.com.au/php_test.php<?php echo $title; ?>" />
Everything is working as requires except for the og:description. When I debug in facebook facebook is only seeing
<meta property="og:description" content="http://www.website.com.au/php_test.php
it is not scraping
<?php echo $title; ?>
from the same line what am I missing?
og:description is a tag that should contain text, you should be doing like:
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo $title; ?>" />
//where $title should be a defined variable that contains some text
or
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo file_get_contents("http://www.website.com.au/php_test.php"); ?>" />
//where your php_test.php file should echo out text
I got a wordpress "single-page" with different posts on it, that doesnt need to reload. A post is loaded in when you click on a post name without reloading the whole page.
All posts have a individual ID & subURL though. Each post also has share buttons for facebook, twitter, google+, linkedin and xing.
I want to provide the shares with the information about the individual post the user wants to share, for example ID, image, some text content and so on.
This is what my share buttons look like atm:
<div class="share-twitter">
<img src="exampleimg.jpg">
</div>
Now I read in another article here on stackoverflow that i should use meta tags to give them the information.
This is how i tried to do this:
<!-- for Google -->
<meta name="description" content="<?php the_content();?>" />
<meta name="keywords" content="app" />
<meta name="author" content="<?php the_author();?>" />
<meta name="copyright" content="corporate name" />
<meta name="application-name" content="<?php the_title();?>" />
<!-- for Facebook -->
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php the_title();?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:image" content="imgexample.png" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://example.de/%23/?p=<?php the_id();?>/<?php the_title();?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php the_content();?>" />
<!-- for Twitter -->
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta name="twitter:title" content="<?php the_title();?>" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="<?php the_content();?>" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="imgexample.png" />
Well, my actual problem now is that the meta tags I added change nothing. the link URL is provided correctly as before, cause i already do this with href, but it still uses a random img of the page, no content provided or anything else I provided over the meta tags...
Any clues why this doesnt work?
Try this:
<php if(is_single()) { ?>
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), '' ); ?>" />
<?php } else { ?>
<meta property="og:image" content="imgexample.png" />
i have a wordpress based website.
I have a standard wordpress loop that executes at the start in the <body> part of the html. Now, i would like to print out the og tags in the head, but the data needed for those tags (title, description,...) is available to me after the <head> part when i do the loop.
Is there a way to solve this in php without me having to move my code to the beggining of the head tag (or somewhere before)?
If your problem is settiing meta tags, this works for me and is also useful because it checks if you are viewing a post or the website
<?php if (is_single() || is_author()) { ?>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php the_permalink() ?>"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php wp_title(); ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo strip_tags(get_bloginfo('description')); ?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php if (function_exists('wp_get_attachment_thumb_url')) {echo wp_get_attachment_thumb_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)); }?>" />
<?php } else { ?>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php the_permalink() ?>"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php wp_title(); ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<?php } ?>
Install a hook for wp_head action.
function modify_head()
{
?>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
<?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'modify_head');
