Could anyone experiencing issues where only your domain name shows up check your logs to see if the Facebook bot is actually visiting the link?

Thanks! :)

Hi Gregg,

I am also facing an issue where in the facebook share picks up the meta tags sometimes whereas some other time it simply shows the domain name of my page.

Can you please help me with this. I am creating meta tags at the runtime on the page download event.

i wrote some code so you can show one set of meta tags to facebook and the other to the rest of the world so your facebook embed looks good and so does your description for search engines

I get crazy because the Share function did exactly work like i wished to... till yesterday. Now it only shows my main url. It grabs the picture right, but doesn't read the meta for the post.... I have 5000 daily visitors from facebook, who want to share, so I have to fix this problem as fast as I can. Thankful for any help

Something disappeared from my post. I stated there that I also inserted the rel='img_src' along with the css.
Cheers,
D.

Hi Greg! Great post, probably one of the only ones out there that really helps address this dilemma.
I have tried what you suggested, added a css class called facebook and inserted a 50x50 image within the body. I know the image is there. If i turn off the display:none styling it appears.
I have also inserted

into the header. But try as I might, that image is just not showing up in facebook. The site is http://www.redpencil.ca and is powered by wordpress. Any ideas what I might be missing?

First off, thanks for the thorough and informative post. I came to your article trying to seek an answer to why Facebook sharing offers preview images sometimes and nothing at all at other times. Facebook is driving me nuts. The page in question (that worked previously), is here. Now, for me, it shows no images at all when I try to share it on FB:

Any tips, I would be grateful.
