For example, the URL of a page has the og: <meta property="og:image" content="https://url.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/image.png">
If I write that URL in LinkedIn that previous image is shown, but if I write the URL https://url.com/suburl no image is shown, and the og is the same: <meta property="og:image" content="https://url.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/image.png">
Why does LinkedIn do that? In fact both pages have the og meta data. What am I doing wrong?
See answer here:

In short, it's likely because you're missing the OG prefix on your page:
<html lang="en-US" prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# website: http://ogp.me/ns/website#">
Either add it manually, or if you're using a WordPress theme, use a plugin like Complete Open Graph to manage that for you:

I have created this site in WordPress (https://gs4mc.org/) and installed Yoast SEO Plugin.
I have properly implemented meta and OG tags, but when I am posting the above site URL on LinkedIn, the 'Home_main_latest' dummy title is showing.
you can use theses meta tags for LinkedIn, you can even set the website title, description or image.
<meta property='og:title' content='Title of the article'/>
<meta property='og:image' content='//media.example.com/ 1234567.jpg'/>
<meta property='og:description' content='Description that will show in the preview'/>
<meta property='og:url' content='//www.example.com/URL of the article'/>
here is the reference from LinkedIn website
Also use wp-head wordpress hook to add this code in the website.
Happy Wordpress
Please use below URL to get updated title and description from your site in linked share:
https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/
you have another option apart from the above one: you can add '?latest' after your site URL
Also, please don't forget to include below code in your header file:
Can anyone tell me why facebook doesn't pull the correct og tags from this article?
I have specified the og:title and og:url but all I get is this error when I fetch new scrape information
Facebook og errors
Thanks in advance :)
You need to use an absolute URL with the protocol for the OG image:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://assets.serenity.co.uk/38000-38999/38112/300x200.jpg">
Also, the first og:image tag is this one in the source:
<meta property = "og:image" content = " " />
There are also several og:title tags in the source.
I am having some difficulty implementing a solution that I found via my research here (the actual accepted answer is not helpful and has been downvoted to Bolivian).
Problem: Facebook doesn't seem to recognize the OpenGraph meta tags that I have added to my Header.
What I know (or think I know): It is my understanding that by adding some appropriate opengraph meta tags, the content, such as YouTube video, should appear in the body of the "post" on Facebook.
What I have tried so far: Referring to the solution linked above, I have tried to implement this method.
In my examples, I'm embedding this video
https://www.youtube.com/v/BQBjVr1iHH4 in the following page
https://www.keithandthegirl.com/vip/bonus/episode/9/40/this-is-40 I
would like Facebook to show the YouTube video whenever anyone shares
my page on Facebook.
Option 1: setting the og:video to https://www.youtube.com/v/YOUTUBECODE
The meta tag will look like
<meta property='og:video' content='https://www.youtube.com/v/BQBjVr1iHH4' />
Further, I have attempted to disable plugins which may conflict with this -- any plugins which appear to add OG meta tags.
On the code side: I have hard-coded the following meta tags in the Header (this will eventually become a PHP function or something, but not until/unless I can make it work on a single post):
<meta property='og:image' content='http://agnarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/2014-11-01-22.02.37.jpg' />
<meta property='og:video' content='https://www.youtube.com/v/dt6pPdz5eqg' />
<meta property="og:video:height" content="854" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="510" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video">
Observed behavior:
All I see is the post's featured image. When I schedule or submit this link to my facebook page, Facebook does not recognize the OpenGraph tags and does not render the embedded video as part of the content of this Facebook post:
Desired behavior:
This is at odds with the suggested method, which if I use the URL provided in that answer, I can see the embedded video player:
I build a new wordpress site and installed the Yoast SEO plugin.
My homepage defined as some of my pages.
When i post the link on facebook i can't see any description/title/image that i want
checked on - https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
i got:
og:type article
(i think that In order to work should appear : website)
maybe someone knows Where I'm wrong?
Thank you!
Facebook uses OpenGraph, a protocol for which if no default values are defined (and you have no standard HTML <meta> values defined,) you can set certain properties so that your site will appear as you want it when you share it socially.
It should be noted that Opengraph will, by default, attempt to interpret these properties by their corresponding <meta> elements (stuff like <meta name="description" content="describe my site">).
If you don't have these, I suggest you add them, but the OpenGraph properties can be defined explicitly, too. The process for adding properties like this involve the use of the <meta> tag, typically in your header.php.
There are a lot of properties you can define
I think most pertinent to your situation would be:
<meta property="og:image" content="path/to/image">
<meta property="og:title" content="My cool website">
<meta property="og:description" content="Description of site">
These work for sites that use OpenGraph, but it's no substitute for having proper <meta> tags in the <head> of your document.
here's a bit of reading you can do on defining site meta
Hope this helps!
I am new to this. We have a wedding photography web site.
http://www.DawnKellyPhotography.com/fbshare/FBalbum/
I have used the Facebook developer page to generate the code to put on the put a Like button on each image's individual page, using the iframe method.
<iframe src='//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fdawnkellyphotography.com%2Ffbshare%2FFBalbum%2F%3Fshow%3Dslides%2FNodownLoad.html&send=false&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=true&action=like&colorscheme=light&font&height=80' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:250px; height:80px;' allowTransparency='true'></iframe>
I have also added the meta og tags to the image's html wrapper file.
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta property="og:sitename" content="Dawn Kelly Photography">
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.DawnKellyPhotography.com /fbshare/FBalbum/?show=slides/NodownLoad.html">
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.DawnKellyPhotography.com/fbshare/FBalbum/slides/NodownLoad.jpg">
<meta property="og:title" content="Facebook Test Gallery">
I was expecting that the Like click would post the og:image and the og:url. Instead, just a link to the web site's base url is being posted along with the home page's image. The gallery is generated using JAlbum and a custom skin, and runs on the web site using a custom javascript. I have access to change any of these as needed.
Thanks in advance.
Any help will be appreciated.
You are missing og:image tags from your link you specified in your iframe.
Fix the warnings you have on the linter tool.
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.
