Facebook OG issue workaround
-
Hi – I am using this code
//Adding the Open Graph in the Language Attributes function add_opengraph_doctype( $output ) { return $output . ' xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"'; } add_filter('language_attributes', 'add_opengraph_doctype'); //Lets add Open Graph Meta Info function insert_fb_in_head() { global $post; if ( !is_singular()) //if it is not a post or a page return; echo '<meta property="fb:admins" content="YOUR USER ID"/>'; echo '<meta property="og:title" content="' . get_the_title() . '"/>'; echo '<meta property="og:type" content="article"/>'; echo '<meta property="og:url" content="' . get_permalink() . '"/>'; echo '<meta property="og:site_name" content="Your Site NAME Goes HERE"/>'; if(!has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID )) { //the post does not have featured image, use a default image $default_image="http://example.com/image.jpg"; //replace this with a default image on your server or an image in your media library echo '<meta property="og:image" content="' . $default_image . '"/>'; } else{ $thumbnail_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'medium' ); echo '<meta property="og:image" content="' . esc_attr( $thumbnail_src[0] ) . '"/>'; } echo " "; } add_action( 'wp_head', 'insert_fb_in_head', 5 );To get Facebook to recognize the content on my site. There is a problem with https though, and FB does not recognize the images (this has been discussed on many FB forums.
The workaround is to put the images into a subdomain of a separate domain – ok – so my default image shows now – good!
BUT – you can’t add a featured image through a URL – so to get the image for that post to show I want to create a custom field – and the value would be the image path in the sub-domain.
Here is my question – How would I modify the above code to pull the custom field data INSTEAD of the featured image data.
Thank you for all your help! You rock!!
