    Hello,

    I have tested dozens of sites into the Facebook developer scrape feature and noticed that while i can get a large preview image from them, my site’s sharing image is small. Note that older posts still load with a large image, while new ones, not.
    I use 1200×630 images for all posts, as i featured image.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Looking at https://siniparksi.gr/, it appears that you have a duplicate meta tag:

    
<meta property="og:image" content="https://siniparksi.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/logo_FBscrape_background-01-e1549480001812.jpg" />

    
<meta property='og:image' content='https://siniparksi.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/logo_FBscrape_background-01-e1549480001812.jpg' />
<meta property='og:image:width' content='1200' />
<meta property='og:image:height' content='712' />

    You also have a problem with the og:locale value:

    “Object at URL ‘https://siniparksi.gr/&#8217; of type ‘website’ is invalid because the given value ‘el’ for property ‘og:locale:locale’ could not be parsed as type ‘enum’.”

    And since you do not appear to be using WPSSO, I’m not sure why you are posting in this forum. You may want to post in the support forum for the plugin you are using. 😉

    Hey there, thanks for responding!

    One thing is for sure, i’m not a crazy person who just stepped in the support forum of a random plugin to ask for help 🙂 What happens is that I’ve been trying all day to find a solution to my problem trying different plugins, enable/disable, install/uninstall, looking for conflicts, to figure out if the problem is with the plugin, the theme, myself, or something else. So at the moment you checked out my post WPSSO wasn’t installed, but when i posted in the forum it was up and running.

    It’s again up and running now and i can see what you’re saying, but i don’t understand what am i supposed to do. I thought those properties are tuned by the plugin.

    Also, please note that the problem (at least, what i notice) is with posts, when shared on Facebook – not with the homepage. For example:

    https://siniparksi.gr/2019/05/19/exotika-nisakia-me-elaxistoys-katoikoys/
    Appears to be scraped with a small image.

    While:
    https://siniparksi.gr/2019/03/14/os-kai-enteka-xiliades-mikroplastika/
    Is scraped with a nice, big image.

    Both posts and all posts have identical layout and all images are 1200×630, so i really don’t know what’s happening.

    Thanks again for your time and interest
