Like - Sharer.php ignoring image despite og meta


Despite the meta tags (the first one I never used before, but it came up in the addthis forums);

And the debug tool getting the data in a correct manner: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mondiales.nl%2F

The facebook sharer code does not use the image specified. No images show up at all, there is no thumbnail chooser.

Looking at the HTML of the facebook sharer page, the image is actually there! The thumbnail chooser has a display:none. And when posting the damn thing, no image shows up on the wall.

Stop using addthis and implement a like function using the just the Facebook API? But from what I read, Facebook does a request for the page to get it's data so the JS part should not be the issue, should it?

Did I overlook something?


Solution

  • There's a restriction on the width/height ratio of images shared, the ratio must be less than 3.0

    Your image is too wide (211/66 = 3.19) - add some vertical whitespace and it'll share OK i think

    For future reference this is mentioned on both the old Share Button docs and the Open Graph protocol docs (under 'og:image')
