Running the open graph on two sites, one works perfectly the other one has wierd urls for the image. The domain is written twice, domain.tld/domain.tld/pathtoimage.jpg".. so the url is wrong.

Hi, try to check the configuration of both files, maybe some of them has some base url set, or there is other server settings of path, etc :idea:

Think I found the cause, seems if the image has an absolute url the domain name is still prepended.

Hmm, in the plugin code, there is no feature which somehow change or repair or add or remove the image path :idea:

Not sure I understand you? Do you mean there is no way to check if its an absolute path (starting with http://)?
On the two sites mentioned above one used images with relative urls and had no problems, while the other one had absolute urls and then the domain is written twice.

Hi, the problem is, the plugin does not set the path, it just take the information form Joomla! and its settings - and after it gets such information, it will use it. And what I have written above, means, that if it gets such information, it does not manipulate it, it just uses it (means there is no code to somehow add other part to path or change it, or similar) :idea:

I see, so Joomla has a call that returns the first image?
Then it seems like a joomla-bug

Still having the same problem, when image has relative path all ok. When image has full path, double domain..?

Hi, hmm, then the code needs to be somehow customized, to discover if it includes double path and when yes, then to remove one of them :idea:
