We gave a list of jobs here - http://jobs.abilityprofessional.com/jobseeker/SearchResults.aspx?featured=1&runsearch=1
If you click on any job to go to the detail page and then click the linkedin share button it always comes up as the Industrial Sales Representative - Columbus, OH job instead of the actual job that you're looking at. I've checked the og:title tag and it's correct, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Is this possibly a linkedin cache issue?
Looks like your OG tag format is a bit off. LinkedIn (and the official OG spec, for that matter: http://ogp.me/) is looking for <meta property="" ...> not <meta name="" ...>.
See their docs here: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin#opengraph
Note that you will now have a cache problem, however. They cache their content for 7 days, so the improper tags will be stuck that way for a few days for any jobs you've already tried to share. Make sure you test with ones that you haven't attempted to share yet so they get a fresh visit from LinkedIn's crawler.

I know this is an old topic but I've digged dozens of related questions and solutions but neither of them works.
Some of questions I've read:
Can't fix: 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags
Wordpress All In One SEO plugin not sharing to Facebook wall
My test url for facebook debug:

I also add that sometimes this post could be displayed well (including image thumbnail) on my facebook page but most of time it did not.
I've cleared my wordpress caches.
Absolutely, I can read the social opengraph tab on my post but facebook failed to read them. I do not know the reason behind this problem. Please help me to be clear! thanks
EDIT:
This is a capture of the fact that sometimes Facebook receives my blog post well. And the post link is: https://trangthietbiytehcm.com/uncategorized/san-pham-test-lan-2/
And I wnat to add that the above test link (https://trangthietbiytehcm.com/uncategorized/bai-viet-mau/) also has the same fact as this
EDIT (UPDATE):
After months of be frustrated with this problem, I even tested on another new web on new host server. I've finally found that the reason of this problem is the page cache function of the W3 total cache
We've found this issue to be related to W3 Total Cache, too. Specifically, it's the Wordpress Dashboard > Performance > Minify > Eliminate render-blocking CSS by moving it to HTTP body feature. What this does is shove all the CSS right after the tag, moving all the other header tags down.
And it seems Facebook (and Twitter?) only parse a fixed amount of the page before deciding to try and render... and if your CSS is long, well, it never sees your og:image tag (or any others, like Title, etc).
We have yet to find a good fix which still allows this feature to be used.
After I added the LinkedIn Company Page follow button to our website, clicking the button results in an about:blank page. Apparently, after reading some topics concerning the same problem, the Company page does get followed. However, it doesn't look very professional getting redirected to some blank page. Making this post, hoping there is a workaround now that hasn't been posted to the other topics or to get a response from a LinkedIn employee.
Issue details:
Chrome 67, IE11, Edge 42 and Brave 0.23 give the about:blank page.
Firefox is currently the only browser working and it redirects me to the 'confirm follow' page, giving me the message: 'Congratulations! You're now following ...'
So anyone knows a fix or (if working for LinkedIn) any estimate on when the issue will be solved? Thanks in advance!
this is definitely a third party bug on linkedin's side. This problem has been going on for almost a year now and there has never been a good solution that I could find. the best thing to do might be to just delete it from your page. In the link below you will find the source I am talking about.
Hopefully, this will give you a bit more information.
Wix message 23-January-2018
Unless you can contact LinkedIn, you should look for workarounds that enhance the customer experience, like putting some helper text that explains what will happen after the button is pushed.
Also, for what it's worth, if you have some level of premium support with Microsoft, you could try to escalate and have it routed across the org chart. (That's a purely theoretical, I have no recent experience with Microsoft support at any premium level).
I've got a site that has multiple share buttons on entries in a WordPress site.
We designed this so there are no individual entries to view, they're Podcasts and videos. The listing page has a minimum of 10 entries, each with share buttons.
Currently the share links and titles are working correctly. But the page is not recognizing the og:image, and instead is picking up the default logo for the site itself.
I read another post on Stack Overflow that said it might be an issue for LinkedIn if the image is utilizing SSL for the link. But I just find that hard to believe.
The other issue I'm struggling with, the docs say once an image is scraped it stays cached for approximately 7 days.
I had an issue with FaceBook and there's a debugger that allows you to rescrape the page which let's me verify my changes worked.
My two questions are, is there something other than the og:image i should be specifying? since I can't specify it per post, it's in the head of the page itself, i would think it would pick that up. No?
Second, is there a way a developer can re-check after the meta info has been changed to see if the changes worked, without having to wait the TTL on the cache?
try this:
url/link?blah=1
url/link?blah=2
url/link?blah=3
to get around the cache.
This should trick it into thinking its a new page each time.
Can i get a link to test?
Anthony Walz posted the correct answer. Through email he also helped another problem i had which corrected a new issue i didn't realize I had until i looked.
my LinkedIn shares were not picking up the show title, they were picking up the page description instead (i have several podcasts showing on one page, we don't use individual post pages, they all play from the listing.)
he pointed me to the developer docs on formatting sharing links
Which gives a real world example - here:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://developer.linkedin.com&title=LinkedIn%20Developer%20Network
&summary=My%20favorite%20developer%20program&source=LinkedIn
Thanks a ton for assist Anthony!
Im having issues with my project right now regarding linkedin share. The image(thumbnail) doesnt showed up.
My question is, does the url change could also affect?
For example i added the og tags like this:
https://domain_name.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2_About-Team-Photo_New-1.jpg
but when i open up the source code the url was change to:
https://d2gkdq5vdbd74s.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2_About-Team-Photo_New-1.jpg
Does this change affect the Linkedin Share?
By the way the facebook share has no issues at all.
Please help me. Thank you.
Reggards,

My hunch is that your page doesn't have the Open Graph prefix on its or tag.
<html lang="en-US" prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# website: http://ogp.me/ns/website#">
I believe I've come across that as an issue with LinkedIn shares in the past. As for the URL change, that shouldn't impact it. I believe I've used images from different domains successfully in the past for Open Graph. Do you have a plugin enabled that might be syncing your assets to CloudFront or S3? That might be the cause of that.
I wrote a plugin a while back that might save you some hassle with all of this -- it comprehensively and intelligently adds all of OG tags needed, including the prefix, and allows you to customize that data as you need per page or globally (if you're a developer, you can do this all programmatically with some built-in filters. It also lacks the confusing configuration and bloat of other 'do it all' plugins, which is one of the main reasons I built it. You should check out:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/complete-open-graph/
My problem is that I was using a "Like button" plugin on wordpress and I didn't liked the looks of it. I deactivated the plugin and then tried with manual code of XFBML button. That screwed the count to some of the posts, having their counts all in one. I reverted the changes, using the plugin again, deleted the code added and the problem persists. Some of the posts have the "shared" count box. And when you "Like!" any of that posts, only the last one appears on Facebook.
It's it possible that this is a caché issue or something that is wrong in the code?
I tried reverting the meta tag "og:type" from "blog" to "website" but it didn't allowed me, can this be the problem?
Why do some of the posts share that countbox if the links are not the same?
And the wierdest thing, why only some of the posts have the issue while some are shared correctly?
As for an example, say post 1, 5 and 7 share the same countbox (+200). When you "like!" any of them, only the last of them (the most recent) gets to the FB wall.
This doesn't happen with the new posts, only with part of the old ones.
If the case, you can see it working: http://elrincondelacritica.com/
Thanks in advance.
By the way, if you need any piece of code just ask, this is not my page and I really need to fix this asap, also because it's online and running.
Thank you.
The FB debug tool shows that you didn't supply the fb:app_id > which seems to be crucial to render the news feed.
See: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Felrincondelacritica.com%2F
You can create a Facebook App here: http://developers.facebook.com/apps
Once you've done that you can add the fb:app_id by adding this into your header:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="000yourAPID000"/>
Thanks mate for the share. Next time I make a website I'll make sure to create an APP too.
And by the way, the error was because of the meta tag og:type changed from website to article. What I did was to leave it to article (not trying to change it "forcing" og:type - website) and placing each "bad" post in the FB Debugger. There were 30 or so... but it worked, and now the new posts work too, with zero count from the start and incrementing correctly, each in particular.
