Hello,

I searched accross the web and can't figure this out. I have manual put in the homepage of the site this og: properties

<meta content="a greek title name" property="og:title">
<meta content="article" property="og:type">
<meta content="http://www.iraklislefousis.gr" property="og:url">
<meta content="http://www.iraklislefousis.gr/templates/gk_rockwall/images/logo.png" property="og:image">
<meta content="KOINOS TOPOS" property="og:site_name">

But facebook reads and article that is not event published when i post the home url. The article is the one below and the image that is visible is template's default demo image if you look at the attachment. (Google plus displays correctly all the properties that i enter)
"Cody ChesnuTT Explains Why It Took 10 MasterpieceSed a velit vitae nunc porta iaculis. Aliquam tempus rutrum diam, non tincidunt odio pharetra vitae. Nulla facilisi. Duis "

Where is this thing stored? What should i do? The url that i post is www.iraklislefousis.gr

Please help my out cause my client need desperately to promote his website through FB.. Thanks you

Hi

When I look into OG checker I see that only image is wrong: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/d ... %25CF%2582

Looks like facebook is picking up the first image which ia a 1px x 1px blank gif. But it's brobably becuase You have no image specified for articles. There is a content and than it goes straight to gallery. You need to add some kind of script to use first image from gallery.

Look at this thread. Here You will find a script I published along with the file to just replace, but still I'm not sure if this will work if You do not have main image in articles.
