I have put up facebook and Linkedin share buttons on a page in my website. I have set the fb opengraph tags for that page. I have also set up the meta tags with description i want to share on FB and Linkedin, but when i share the content on facebook i get a wrong url and description shared. Please have a look and give me any ideas where i am wrong.
This is the page
I checked my URL and OG tags in facebook debugger here and it pointed out i had a type error and also a description tag was missing, which is essential. Fixing these, made everything perfect.
For those who want to test their page against both Facebook and LinkedIn...

I've seen a lot of other folks posting this question...
Trying to share a link from my WordPress site and comes with a "Cannot display preview. You can post as is, or try another link." Checked OpenGraph settings on Facebook OpenGraph debugger, installed Yoast SEO to edit OG tags, removed OEmbed code, still no dice.
Please let me know what else I can try.
This is my first post on StackoverFlow. Here's my issue. Im trying to get Linkedin and Facebook to recognize the og:image and og:description but no luck. They both pull the description from my "About me" section instead of the og:description and no Image at all.
The image is 320 by 320.
Here's a link to my page. ( work in progress)
My Website
What Am I doing wrong?
I didn't find an og:description tag in your head.
add it and then check in FB debugger:

you'll see there exactly what Facebook 'sees' on your page
We have built a website in wordpress and have implemented social share icons (Twitter/FB like/G+/...) using the AddThis plugin.
When I FB like an article, the article is displayed in my FB profile wall but with wrong title (e.g instead of displaying example.com in my wall it's displaying example sample blog)
I have checked the meta tag fb:app_id and id is correct.
I have used debug tool to check the meta tag are read properly by FB and is correct.

Found no help in FB forum or in google.
Appreciate urgent help.
Thanks in advance.
I am not sure why this is happening. But, When i try to post Link Omitted on the company's facebook page, the thumbnails aren't loaded by the facebook. Whereas if I try to post some earlier link from my website, like Link Omitted, all the pics from that page are loaded.
Can someone tell why this happens...Also, sometimes, facebook doesn't load all the images from page.
You rely on how Facebook scrapping your page content which isn't a best way to achieve what you want. The reason you see image for older links is probably caching.
To ensure you have images with posting your content on Facebook you should add og:image OpenGraph meta tags.
For more info on this read OpenGraph documentation and use Facebook Debug tool to check if you have any issues with scrapping and/or all details scrapped correctly.
I set up my website's facebook account as a Page on my facebook account (this was probably incorrect, but I didn't know better at the time). I have switched my account to Use Facebook as a Page. I am trying to create a like box with avatars for my website (www.zealforadeal.com). I get the error code: To access this page, you'll need to switch from using Facebook as your page to using Facebook as yourself. How can I create a Like Box for my page (http://www.facebook.com/zealforadeal) ?
(I never use my facebook account for anything other than the Page)
I think you are confused about the purpose of the 'Like box'. The 'like box' shows the people who have 'Liked' your Facebook page,and your Facebook page status updates.https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
Just go to the like box page and paste your url (http://www.facebook.com/zealforadeal) into Facebook Page URL field.
