hi,
happy new year everyone,

for a few days i installed the latest joomla update.
with this update comes 2 problems.
one problem could be solved in this forum ( this "0" beside the search bar")

but the other problem is more comlicated. since update i cant share any "usefull" links to facebook, cause facebook catch no content like description or pictures. i tested with the facebook degugger tool and it gives warning:
"Data of the URL could not be retrieved." - like website is down or something blocked with robots.txt but it isn't so!!!

deactivating gzip compression in joomla settings was the solution.. i've found this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2019 ... a-from-url

Hi,

Gzip compression and facebook scrapping is a well know issue, plz read the following article (in french sry): https://www.bennetonable.com/blog/joomla/comment-resoudre-le-probleme-de-partage-sur-facebook-lorsque-gzip-est-actif

You will find a link (JED) to a usefull free plugin that disables gzip compression for facebook and linkedin user agents.

If the article was usefull plz leave a comment.

Hope this helped.
