Lost Facebook Preview When Sharing Blog Post

AlexNavas

For the last 2 weeks, I noticed that when I share my posts on Facebook, I no longer get any preview images or the preview text. All it shows is the link to my post with an empty white box next to it. For example, when I share this post: http://alexnavas.com/build-online-business-want/ (or any other) within Facebook, I no longer see the featured image or headline and description I used to. I Deactivated all plugins and still had the same issue. Not sure what to do to resolve this issue. Please help.

I've attached a screenshot of another blog I run to show what it typically looks like (http://christianbusinessacademy.com/market-christian-business/)

Thanks.

Hi Alex :-)

I have just make small check. I am not expert but I have idea what will help you:

1. Once facebook scraps your page it won't do it again. This means that when you shared post, and image didn't show up, then playing with plugins wont make any difference. Unless you will play with this link https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ - enter there you page you are testing and next you can play with plugins and on each deactivate you will have to use button "Scrape Again".

2. I have checked various your posts and some indeed do share with images and some don't. I am not sure, but seems like your CDN is lagging in some way and this could be the issue. I am just guessing :-) However see point 3.

3. What help a lot with sharing is this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/
Try it, scrape again, and it should inform facebook better, where is image for your post.

Hope it helps you.

With kind regards.
