Basic Questions: Can't Get OpenGraph to Work

[GregHankins]

Hi All!

I simply can't get Open Graph to work at all on sevenlakestimes.com.

Basic question: Do I need a Facebook app ID or not?

When I past in a link to an article page on the website, FB churns for a bit, apparently looking for info, but comes up with nothing and instead gives me the generic site name and link.

Can anyone give me a tip or two to get started with this plugin?

Thanks!

Greg

Hi, first of all, you need to look at your html code, if there are displayed the opengraph tags. If no, then:

- e.g. the plugin is not enabled or installed
- the site is not content/article site.

You don't need API as it is only about displaying the specific attributes.

If all the attributes are displayed well in the html code, try to test to change the attribute: name <-> property, property <-> name.

If this does not help, you should ask FB developers
