I'm having trouble getting Facebook to recognize the og:image tag. It seems to scrape correctly, but then I get this warning:
og:image could not be downloaded or is too small Provided og:image could not be downloaded or is not big enough. Please use an image that's at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook. Image 'http://ericrovtar.com/images/logo/800x200_reverse.png' will be used instead.
Yet looking at the raw data from the debugger:
"image": [
{
"height": 1080,
"url": "http://ericrovtar.com/images/posts/fitz-simmons.jpg",
"width": 1920
}
],
It's obviously seeing the proper height and width and they meet Facebook's minimum requirements, so I'm not sure what it's complaining about.
If someone could help me figure this out, that'd be great.
You need to ping facebook and notify them to update changes and to do that you can use URL Linter. It may take some time for facebook to update your changes. I'm not sure how much time they take to update after pinging, but just try it. You can update the attributes of your page by updating your page's tags.
Zak Doffman, writing for Forbes, discovered that Facebook extracts location data from any photos you upload. It does this by snagging the EXIF data embedded in any photo you take with your iPhone, which includes location, date and time, and camera settings.
What is metadata? Image metadata is text information pertaining to an image file that is embedded into the file or contained in a separate file that is associated with it. Image metadata includes details relevant to the image itself as well as information about its production.
I added the additional meta data for images, listed here: http://ogp.me/ and that worked. Specifically:
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="400" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="300" />
But it did not work initially when my image was 366x363, even though that's about the min. 200x200. I had to double the size of the image, and then that worked. Way to go FB!
