Hi SI Team

I have tow posts that I am trying to promote on Facebook:

http://finalbug.net/blog/entry/400-edit-in-resolve-the-fcp-way-part-01
http://finalbug.net/blog/entry/401-edit-in-resolve-the-fcp-way-part-02

I promoted the first one last week.
Both using the back end Social Share function in EB & simply copying & pasting to FB.

This week I did the same for the second post.
The back end Social share works fine but the copy & paste thing is mixed up.
I have a thumbnail from the first post & the text from the second post.

Please see screen shot!

Any ideas what is going on?

thanks

Paul
Hi Paul,

I am sorry for the late reply.
I have inspected your site and it seems the meta description for this blog is cuts off. Here I my screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/cFeURqcCsh . I have helped you fix this and it should be displayed correctly. Can you verify this issue is fixed?

Hope this helps.

Hi Paul,

I have inspected your site and it seems Facebook cannot get the correct image from your site.
og:image was not defined, could not be downloaded or was not big enough. Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and use an image that's at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook. Image 'http://finalbug.net/images/easyblog_images/62/2015FirstQuater/EditInResolve01WEB.jpg' will be used instead.

So, I have checked the page source and I found out that, the image url is not clean: http://screencast.com/t/EaFrLe8Q . In order for Facebook crawler to use this image, the url must be clean.

Hope I have explained it well. If you have anymore question, please don't hesitate to ask us here.

Hi Mohd

Sorry if this was not clear!

On the Blog post the first sentence is:
In the first part of this tutorial I laid down the foundations for a basic understanding of the nuts and bolts of preparing an Edit...

When I try to go to FB it reads:
n the first part of this tutorial I laid down the foundations for a basic understanding of the nuts and bolts of preparing an Edit...

In other words the first letter of the post gets chopped off even after the FB clean thing!

Do you have aby ideas what is going on here?

thanks

Paul
