Hello,

I've searched the forum for similar problems and I found these 2 posts:
https://www.gavick.com/forums/rockwall/ ... 35633.html

https://www.gavick.com/forums/instyle-j ... 35243.html

But I still don't see any text or image on K2 articles (neither on homepage share as well) facebook sharing. Sharing links on Goolge+ works perfectly.

I tried on https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug to see what's wrong and I got the following message:

Errors That Must Be Fixed
Object Missing a Required Value Object at URL 'http://www.museodiocesanolanciano.it/visita-il-museo/guida-ebook' of type 'website' is invalid because a required property 'og:title' of type 'string' was not provided.


But if you see on homepage code you can see that :

Code: Select all
<meta name="title" content="Guida del Museo in ebook" />
  <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.museodiocesanolanciano.it/visita-il-museo/guida-ebook" />
  <meta property="og:title" content="Guida del Museo in ebook - Museo Diocesano Lanciano" />
  <meta property="og:type" content="article" />
  <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.museodiocesanolanciano.it/media/k2/items/cache/47359a90eed3ee35f2dab5a3c718abb3_M.jpg" />
  <meta name="image" content="http://www.museodiocesanolanciano.it/media/k2/items/cache/47359a90eed3ee35f2dab5a3c718abb3_M.jpg" />
  <meta property="og:description" content="Guida del Museo Diocesano di Lanciano in formato ebook/epub.Per aprirlo è necessario utilizzare un ebook reader oppure uno smartphone/tablet con insta..." />

You can see that og:title is provided.

I activated also GK Open Graph Article Parameters plugin

How can I solve it?

Thanks

Thank you.

It seems to work, even if from my facebook account it still doesnt' work, but I guess I should wait a little more since on https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug I dont' get the error anymore.

Thank you again! :-)

You guys are really great for your help! :-)

It is a common bug founded in J!3.2 so most probably you will get your links working on facebook soon :)

Have run into this too, gzip was already off and the content is showing a demo image from a K2 article that's not even published along with an image that's a Big Demo image. What's the work around for this?

@mojotown - please try to replace the layouts/facebook.php file content with layouts/default.php file content and then please clean cache by putting your URL in https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

Thanks @Admin, did you mean just rename it or did you have a new file to put in its place?

Fixed, so I believe.. Still showing up with unpredictable content. But at least the images are showing up.
Thank you!
