Hi,

we have an issue with FB sharing, because og:image property is set to:
http://yourdomain.com/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/images/placeholder-image.png
See the real link shortened below
http://goo.gl/SBdYPK

This is checked with https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

Pls let us know how can we include the image inserted into the post instead of this placeholder png file.

Many thanks
Hey Trea,

I am sorry that delay of this reply,

May i know which blog you trying to share on your Facebook?

Can you provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can better have a check on this?

It seems like you using very older version of Easyblog, can I have the permission to help you update to latest version and see how it goes?

Hi Nick,

backup has been completed. We'd apprecaite if you could extensivel the test if the floating ShareBar Pro works and og:image is fetched properly instead of the placeholder-image.png.

Many thanks

Hi Arlex and Nick,

after the backup I used the launcher and updated EB myself successfully.
"Installation Completed! Congratulations! EasyBlog has been successfully installed on your site and you may start using it."

I checked and the og:image is fetched properly 99% of the cases, not all unfortunately.
Any ideas why?

I'd appreciate a quick solution.

One more question: how do I remove the "Powered by EasyBlog for Joomla!" footer, pl?

Thanks in advance.

It seems like you have enable Gzip compression in Joomla global configuration settings, actually that was known issue in Joomla regarding the Open Graphs for Facebook doesn't work when you enable Gzip.

When I turn it off, it work fine correctly. You can copy one of the post URL and paste in Facebook debugger tool -> https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ , it will show the correct image.

Hi Arlex,

many thanks for investigaing it. Before the upgrade Googled for solution and I disabled Gzip, but enabled again, because it did not help at that time.

But now it works fine.

Many thanks for your support.

Everything is awesome !
