I have a wordpress blog on brightphoto.se and everytime I updated with a new blogpost a post a link to it on my brightphoto-page on Facebook.
A few days ago the preview that facebook normally do when you post a link stopped working.
I have tried to test the page with the debugger tool and first I thought that I hade wrong info on my blogsite due to the "error scraping page: Bad response code" but now I fixed that but I still got errors and.
I also asked my some of my friends so post links from the blog on their wall but Facebook never show any preview any more... why?
If I look on the graph API-page I get
{
"error": {
"message": "An unknown error has occurred.",
"type": "OAuthException"
}
}
Any help on this?

We run a website from where users can share pages on LinkedIn using the basic sharing URL https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https://THE_URL.
This worked without any problems for years, yet recently we are facing problems that we cannot explain. Some of our URLs can be shared, while others, pointing to very similar pages, fail.
All of our sharable pages are served from the same infrastructure, same servers, same setup, same TLS certificate, rendered from the same application, etc.
As an example, I attached screenshots for two pages, which are basically identical, except from a few very small details.
While https://open.sap.com/courses/fg1 can be shared,
Screenshot: A "Create a Post" widget on LinkedIn with correct page preview
the almost identical page https://open.sap.com/courses/fg1-1 can not be shared, the sharing widget shows an error:
Screenshot: A "Create a Post" widget on LinkedIn with error message in preview area
Additionally: since a while, both pages - fg1 as well as fg1-1 - cannot be opened in the LinkedIn Post Inspector - this worked earlier, there was no notable change on our side.
The error message in the post inspector says (for the page where actual sharing in the widget works):
Ingestion Feedback
Error We encountered a server error while trying to inspect the URL.
URL redirect trail
1 0 undefined https://open.sap.com/courses/fg1
Summarizing: I am quite confident that this is not an issue caused by our infrastructure or the application - otherwise I would expect that all pages resulted in the same error when sharing.
Does anyone else face this issue or did so in the past and found a solution?
Note: it feels a bit odd to post this question here instead of filing a support ticket, but I was told that this would be the way to reach out.
I have a web page that I am trying to share on LinkedIn but keep getting the same "Oops! Its not you..." error message.
The URL I am using for sharing is https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle/?mini=true&url=[myURL] My URL is valid and works just fine when i run it through Post Inspector https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/
All the necessary og tags are specified and I never had any issues sharing my pages through the above link before. I have already tried to talk to LinkedIn Helpdesk and was advised to ask here.
Thanks in advance for your help.
This error message is actually a 100% generic error message from LinkedIn. It displays when they have too much traffic and users try to login, look at news, post content, etc., etc.. According to NewsWeek, 2019, March...
Some LinkedIn users were reporting issues with the professional networking website on Wednesday. The issues were appearing on Down Detector and users were tweeting about the problems as well....
Some users saw a message that said "We're getting things cleaned up. We'll be back soon," while others saw a message that read, "Oops! It's not you. It's us. Give it another try, please."
This seems to have been sometime before your post. But it could be a likely cause.
If you're unsure, test your URL in the LinkedIn Post Inspector: this tool tells you how LinkedIn decides to build the preview for your website while sharing in LinkedIn.
I am getting this error while trying to submit my website URL
The provided URL is not being accepted because the site has minimal readership, which violates the Instant Article Policies (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instant-articles/policy/). Please provide a different URL.
I install instant article plugin, kept page ID into it and everything done right.
Your site need a relevant access to be claimed and so post instant articles.
I am using ifttt.com to automatically post my wordpress blog posts to facebook.
But when it posts to facebook everything else is fine it gives correct link as well but says "database error" in place of post title. See the below image:
The red circle shows the problem.
Is there any problem with my wordpress blog or ifttt.com recipe configuration.
My recipe is https://ifttt.com/recipes/252982-rss-feed-to-facebook
When I run one of your blog articles through the facebook URL debugger I get a notice that: "The 'og:type' property is required, but not present."
I'm not sure why that would be you the database error notice, but it's at least a start for eliminating a variable from your equation.
There are also other people with similar issues being resolved by making the facebook debugger happy.
I just want to start of by saying that I'm a complete noob when it comes to programing, and don't have a lot of experience with HTML or CSS. I know this place is a bit more advanced and geared mainly for programmers and developers, but the only reason I come here is because I couldn't find an answer in any of the other forums. I don't know if I can solve my problem by editing the CSS file in wordpress, but I'm hoping that some of you can chime in and let me know. The problem I have in a nutshell is that when I post a link of my blog to facebook, facebook doesn't generate the correct data or show any image preview. Here's the post I submitted at the wordpress forum:
I just got a new website, and setup a new wordpress blog on their server. It took a while, but everything is up and running for the most part. I am however, having a really hard time getting any of my post preview to show up when linking to facebook. My website is http://www.limonphotography.com/blog. When I run the same link through facebook's debugger, I get the following error sometimes:
Could Not Follow Redirect Path: Using data from .http://www.limonphotography.com/blog/ because there was an error following the redirect path.
Circular Redirect Path: Circular redirect path detected (see 'Redirect Path' section for details).
Could Not Follow Redirect: URL requested a HTTP redirect, but it could not be followed.
My wordpress URL is :http://limonphotography.com/blog but I made the site URL pointing to :http://www.limonphotography.com/blog since it's easier. Original blog is hosted with the site I have my hosting with, so the original WordPress is at http://mukul12031.c4.cmdwebsites.com/blog. Can anyone tell me why I am getting these errors, or why the preview is not showing up?
Again, I apologize if this is too simple of a questions, but I just can't figure it out on my own. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful. Thanks a lot.
My advice would be to try appending a trailing slash to your og:url tag (example: "http://mysite.com/"). Sounds stupid, I know, but it's worked for some
Another thread on this issue has yielded the following information, courtesy of Lizzbizz on this Wordpress Support thread:
"From what I can tell, this turned out to be a problem with GoDaddy
hosting services. They were applying a 302 Redirect Filter to the
server that was hosting my domain and it caused the problems. After I
emailed them a few times they finally fixed it. Try googling "GoDaddy
302 Redirect Problem" and you will see lots of other posts!
If you are not getting the 302 problem, but just have trouble getting
the image or description to appear when you share a link on Facebook,
you can use one of the WP plugins for Open Graph data like Simple
Facebook Connect or Facebook Open Graph Meta in WordPress and that
should fix it!"
