  • the problem is, scheduled posts’ data is not being scraped by facebook and input for the og tags…

    its annoying, and I have been dealing with it for months, going on almost a year and the facebok devs do not even acknowledge the issue despite numerous support forum posts on the problem… fail

    to fix the issue, you have to take the post url, copy it, then load the facebook debugger and paste the post url into it, then hit the debug button… this will force facebook to scrape your posts og data and then it will be sharable again. Your scheduled post is basically unreachable by facebook until you do this, that is why it can’t republish it for you.

    it sucks that we are handcuffed on this issue and the devs at facebook seem to be sitting on their hands when it comes to a fix.

    bump… over a month ago and still no reply… /wrists

    at least acknowledge the problem exists, I know the devs see these messages…

    let me guess, your post was scheduled publish?

    facebook has a problem scraping the data on scheduled posts, you are actually doing nothing wrong, this is facebooks issue. what is frustrating is they will not acknowledge the problem.

    to fix it and get rid of the unreachable error, you have to either publish the post straight up and not schedule it…

    or

    once it is published, copy the url and put it into the facebook debugger and force facebook to scrape the data again. Once you do that, the unreachable error will dissapear from your post and you can share and send like normal.

    i actually just did it for you with the page you linked and removed the the unreachable error for ya. it’s annoying but until the facebook devs acknowledge the problem and fix it, we are handcuffed to these annoying workarounds…

    i have a sql query now, that will do basically that, the real problem is it ignores pagination, so i get the sort i want, but it displays every post on one page…

    <?php
    $querystr = "
    	SELECT wposts.*, ABS(
    REPLACE(SUBSTRING(wpostmeta.meta_value, 2)
    , ',', '')) AS sortby
    	FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta
    	WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id
    	AND wpostmeta.meta_key = 'price'
            AND wpostmeta.meta_value != '$TBA'
            AND wpostmeta.meta_value != 'REQUEST $'
            AND ABS(REPLACE(REPLACE(wpostmeta.meta_value, '$', ''), ',', '')) > '50'
            AND ABS(REPLACE(REPLACE(wpostmeta.meta_value, '$', ''), ',', '')) < '150'
    		AND post_status='publish'
            ORDER BY sortby asc
    		";
    
    $pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
    
    if ($pageposts) : foreach ($pageposts as $post): setup_postdata($post);
    	$my_meta = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_my_meta', TRUE);
    ?>
        <?php get_template_part( 'grid', get_post_format() ); ?>
    
        <?php endforeach; endif; ?>
