The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided

[tastymouse]

This is a new question regarding this topic: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=39399

I followed the recomendation in this thread, but still Facebook shows no pictures. When I go to the Facebook debugger I get the following message:
The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

However in the source I see: <meta property="og:image" content="http://elfletterig.nl/images/GELUIDSTUIN2016.jpg" />

Any idea what might be wrong? The plugin works fine on another site I made.

Hi, I think, then this should be a question on FB developers.

- the images exists - when you click on it, the direct link displays it
- the image is larger then needed image

Try to check to change it from property to name in Options, but I think, property should be accepted.

Two months later if finaly works. Allas I can't tell why. The Facebook debugger appear to be buggy itself .

Ok

Facebook needs the tags to say "property" instead of "name".

Code: Select all

<meta property="og:type" content="article" /> //This is what it wants with "property" attribute.

<meta name="og:type" content="article" /> //Complains is the "name" attribute is used.

Hi, yes, just change it in Parameters:

change the render type from name to property

Hi Jan,

I seem to be having exactly the same problem here, at least I suppose, because the plugin is rendering "meta name" and I get the same messages from Facebook. However, even though I installed version 2 of the Phoca Open Graph Plugin, I do not see the options referred to in the documentation. Under common options, I only have application ID and other properties. My site is running on Joomla 3.6.4. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Alan

Hi, if you run Joomla! 3.6.4, install the latest version 3.0.8:
