Ah, ok here’s a Dropbox link to a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mgwc2hsh2wjpqul/Mailpoet_Post%20notification%20screenshot.JPG?dl=0

The title shows in the post on the banner image. It only shows as body text in the post notification.

I’m still waiting for a resolution to this. The Winter issue of the magazine I edit has now been and gone and I’ve had to work around this Facebook problem. I found that the featured images appeared if I manually posted to Facebook, first by pasting the link into the Facebook status box of one browser, without actually posting it (no image would show) and then by pasting it into the Facebook status box of another browser. This time the image would appear. Presumably this has something to do with Facebook storing information about the page? I have noticed in the debugger that when I first paste a link there is a problem and when I fetch new data there are different results.

I can’t keep publishing like this though – manually, fiddling around with two browsers. Please can you offer a solution? Is there another plugin which might work, or can I do something to fix this as it is?

Thanks for your help,
Lindsey

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for getting back to me. That number is my personal ID which is why I’m at a loss as to how to fix this. I haven’t changed it since I posted this topic which you resolved:

https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/featured-images-arent-showing-on-facebook

I have checked it several times and it is deinitely still my personal ID.

I have found that if I publish posts manually they appear with the images on Facebook, but if I use the WordPress scheduler they don’t appear, and I get the ‘database error’ when I post the link. This seems to only be true of recent posts. The one you checked (www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/haworth-poetry) is an older post which is fine – the image for that did show on Facebook. The image for

http://www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/sieg-baber

is a new one and is problematic, for example. This post produces a database error.

Do you have any further ideas? I do need to be able to schedule posts rather than doing them all manually.

Thanks again for getting back to me.

I think I might have resolved this. It seems to have been a conflict with the Tag Pages plugin. I’m wary of speaking too soon becuase the site hasn’t auto-posted yet, but pasting to Facebook seems fine again and the like and share buttons are working as usual.

Thanks Chuck — I’ve just posted something new and it worked well. I’ve appreciated your help here.

Sorry to bother you again! I tried a couple of other pages and didn’t get those warnings. But when I clicked ‘Fetch new scrape information’ I got a red warning: Errors That Must Be Fixed
Object Invalid Value Object at URL ‘http://www.thecompassmagazine.co.uk/jenna-butler/’ of type ‘article’ is invalid because the given value ‘https://graph.facebook.com/10152818741518051’ for property ‘fb:admins’ could not be parsed as type ‘fbid’.

Have I done this wrong?

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks again for getting back to me. We aren’t sharing links to the homepage, we’re sharing links to the individual posts. We need the Featured Images from those posts to appear when we share links to them but instead we only get the default image.
