I'm having a problem with Facebook Open Graph implementation with my wordpress blog. Although all the og meta are there in the head, Facebook debug tool told me: Error Parsing URL : Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped.
Things I've already done:
Check for links mistypo
Try the Wordpress SEO plugin by Yoast, Facebook Open Graph impementation
Try WP Facebook Open Graph Protocol plugin
Remove and put manualy all the og meta tags in my header file one by one to found the error
None of these tricks worked and all of them ended with Facebook debug tool telling me: Error Parsing URL : Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped.
But I founded that Google Webmaster Tool can see my tags and information about my blog. If you check source at sfapress.uphero.com you'll see that og meta tags are there where they are expected to be.
So, I'm just wondering: What am I missing? How wrong am I about that? Can anyone of you guys please help me figure this out?
Thanks for help.
It looks like your hosting provider, or possibly your web server, is denying access to the Facebook scraper. This is why it's saying no data was scraped. Take a look at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/#bestpractices and https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ApplicationSecurity/#facebook_scraper for information on how the scraper appears to web servers.

I have a wordpress website https:www.x-equo.nl and we have single job which we want to share with linkedin. If we click ont he share button, we get the error message:
'It's not you it's us, give it another try please.'.
When I have a look at the URL created:
https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.x-equo.nl%2Fvacature%2Ffinancieel-administratief-medewerker-6%2F
I see that the "css/share" part in the URL is different than another website we have in which the sharing does work.
What is going wrong here? How can we change the share link URL so linkedin will accept it?
Hope anyone can help us.
Thank you I advance
We tried reading a lot of other helpdesk but non of them seem logic.
The following URL format works perfectly for me...
https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.x-equo.nl%2Fvacature%2Ffinancieel-administratief-medewerker-6%2F
And the URL you have will simply redirect to the URL above. You have correctly encoded the URL, so, that's not the problem. But, yes, it definitely works:
Source: Official LinkedIn Shareable Documentation.
Not sure if your page is loading correctly? Test it out by inserting your URL into the LinkedIn Post Inspector.
For some reason sharing links on LinkedIn from my client's site does not work.
I've checked the specifications on https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/46687/making-your-website-shareable-on-linkedin?lang=en and it looks like all the og meta tags re correct. Sharing on other social media works without problems. It's only on LinkedIn where the Open Graph data is not picked up.
Here is a sample URL which does not work on LinkedIn:
https://nomadandvillager.com/bestemmingen/kenia/mbara/vrouwenbesnijdenis/
Am I missing something?
Would you be able to share a bit more on how you're getting the tags to render on Facebook and the like?
I encountered the same problem (My site runs on Angular), but my approach was to redirect the LinkedInBot via .htaccess.
Eventually, I gave up, and wrote a custom share button with LinkedIn's rest API
With it, you will be able to specify the details of the share, and avoid the messy workarounds for LinkedIn.

I'm trying to make my website shareable on LinkedIn.
URL : https://www.jedecouvremercator.com/
My website is W3C validate. I have followed all the LinkedIn recommendations and Google recommendations. My Open Graph meta is correct and the website is shareable on all other platforms.
But when I'm trying to share it on LinkedIn or when I use a custom link to share it, LinkedIn can't display the meta information.
(I always use garbage into the URL to kill cache before verifying my changes).
Can somebody tell me why?
Thanks a lot.
The site in your URL is down, and you didn't post any code, so that makes this difficult, but not impossible. I can still view your URL through archive.org, and when I try to share the archive.org URL, like this...
https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20190618064744%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.jedecouvremercator.com%2F
When I click the above, everything works perfectly fine for me. Example:

I'm having a few issues with making our site shareable on linked in and I'm at a loss. The og: meta tags all look fine, the facebook scraper picks it up fine, but the linkedIn scraper does not... and the img etc are not on a protected folder or anything like that.
When inspecting the developer tools the get request to the url-preview?url= link shows that the img etc.. aren't there.
The image is less than 1mb, all og: meta tags are obeyed. The only think that may not be 100% is the image ratio is not 1/4 or 4/1 (it's 2/1)... But that is only a recommendation and not a hard and fast rule.
Does LinkedIn provide something similar to FB (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) where you can test the scraper and re-run it? Or is there another way to debug this? Any help appreciated.
https://www.hipla.co.uk (is the page i'm trying to share).
cheers
It transpires linked in doesn't offer a similar facility to FB or twitter to test the OG meta tags and re-scrape the page. They cache a page for 7 days and then re-scrape again. However, you can refresh the linkedIn crawler cache simply by appending GET params to the URL, i.e. https://www.hipla.co.uk?123.
I eventually figured out what our issue was. We were using a wildcard cert (for multi domain, so we could have a single ssl cert for multiple subdomains) which meant we had to set the server name in the apache default-ssl.conf file, but we had a typo in it for the www instance ... which meant it gave an SSL error (for the linkedIn crawler) which isn't debuggable (if that's a word) using linkedIn but was spotted as we got an SSL error when testing the twitter metadata tags using the twitter card validator. Hope this helps anyone else who has a typo in their ssl settings. Note that the ssl error was not visible using a browser(s) as all looked fine.
I am creating a new website in Wordpress and wrote the about page. But the url which has been detected by google webmaster isn't what I have created. I have no idea how it comes out.
The actual about page url is http://www.allwebcoding.com/about-all-web-coding
The one google webmaster detected is http://www.allwebcoding.com/about-all-web-coding/About%20All%20Web%20Coding
It also gives me an error page not found in webmaster tools.
Any suggestion on how I can solve this?
It seems that somewhere on your website the wrong URL is appearing. Check the HTML source code in the browser to find the occurrence, and fix the problem there. Otherwise just somebody entered the URL manually in their address bar.
