Facebook share doesn't show images

Question

I code a news PHP script. End of each news I have a Facebook share button. The problem is I can't display thumbnail images with Facebook share.

I tried Meta OG

<link rel="image_src" href="" /> 

element without any success. Interesting thing is, some of the domains which is using my news PHP Script, has no problem with it but some has.

Domain without any problems:

• http://www.yenialanya.com/manset/vergi-denetmenine-itiraz.htm (please check the bottom of the news)

Domains with problems:

• http://www.usakhabermerkezi.com/egitim-ogretim/usak-universitesi-rektorluk-secimleri-sonuclandi-iste-secim-sonuclari.htm
• http://www.demokrathaber.net/dunya/dunyanin-ekseni-kaydi.htm
• http://www.tebilisim.com/v4/siyaset/benzin-zamlardan-bizde-hosnut-degiliz.htm

I also tried addThis and it didn't solve the problem.

All of the domain names above are using the same system. I thought it might be because of the system so I tried clean HTML page:

• http://www.phpsistem.com/fb/

As you can see in the last example, I used 2 different kind of sharing options. First with popup. I sent all parameters over URL but some domains display images, some don't. I also added addThis option.

I also thought about .htaccess and cleaned everything in it since I thought .htaccess might block something. I took every step very carefully which I could think of.

This issue started to be annoying, I would be glad if anyone could help me out.

Answer 1

Use Open Graph protocol

<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="movie"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/rock.jpg"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="IMDb"/>
<meta property="fb:admins" content="USER_ID"/>
<meta property="og:description"
      content="A group of U.S. Marines, under command of
               a renegade general, take over Alcatraz and
               threaten San Francisco Bay with biological
               weapons."/>

To test each links use URL Linter

Look at this forum, most of them will ask same questions, why OG image is not working on like button. It's a bug maybe? Bug 16580

Answer 2

Are you using a public server or a local one? Facebook share doesn't show pictures if the URLs are coming from localhost.
