Hey Harry, thank you for your suggestion. Sadly, this problem now extends far beyond simply refreshing the Facebook debugger crawler. This was the first process I undertook upon discovering this problem, with no luck.
I’m experimenting with different images at the moment to see if I can figure something out and I feel I may have caught onto something that could be causing Facebook some trouble in crawling.
All of my article banners are 1900×1200.
It seems your plugin automatically resizes all of my images to 1500×938 (unless they’re smaller) See the image here to see the code.
I’m wondering, is there any chance of allowing me the option to retain the original 1920×1200 of my article banner image in my meta tags? I don’t see an option anywhere to retain this size in my SEO settings and I’ve certainly had some odd experiences on Facebook’s end with smaller image sizes for some reason.
Anytime I’m attempting to upload a custom image of 1900×1200 via the custom social image tab, it’s automatically choosing to revert back to 1500×938. 1900×1200 was the size our meta tags were using on Facebook before all of these problems arose, so I simply wish to see what happens when this size is back in-play with all our meta tags. Can we try it?
Note: I also don’t have the option to avoid cropping an image upon uploading/selecting the image in custom social image selection. Is it possible to have an option to not crop the image? This creates unnecessary duplicates in the website’s media archive.

Yup, it’s strange, isn’t it? I don’t know why it’s pulling Instagram images on some articles and nothing on the others.
No, we haven’t got any security plugins active. Everything was working up until the installation of SEO Framework.
However, one point which I forgot to address, but now that we’re stretched for ideas, I’m guessing it could be relevant. When we installed SEO Framework, we also had OG Plugin installed. Forgetting that we had this, our pages now had conflicting meta tags in place.
When I uploaded my first image to Facebook since the update, and found the image failing to crawl, I proceeded to the Facebook debugger tool to diagnose the problem. Facebook debugger informed me that I had multiple meta tags in-play. Ah crap, I thought. So I went and removed the OG plugin entirely. So now our website has the meta tags from only your plugin. Then, I tested it on Facebook – and it started pulling all of these Instagram photos of ours and failing to acknowledge the image tags in-play.
So this is where I’m at now. I’m struggling for ideas here.

Thanks Sybre, I’ve now removed our robot.txt. How long should it take for WP/TSF to generate the robot.txt file? As of now, no robot.txt has appeared since the manual removal.
