No featured images on FB nor on blog WTF?

What’s wrong with your theme? I’m really angry right now. I’ve done some tips from this forum to make my feature visible on main homepage. After 1 day they disappeared.
Second thing: from the very beginning when I want to share a blogpost on Facebook there are problems. No blogpost title, no featured image, no post description comes to FB. You said that it’s a external problem but EVERY other theme that I’ve tested worked properly with FB.
I feel that I’ve bought only problems and irritation.

Hi

We’re sorry for any inconvenience you have encountered using our theme.
The theme is tested and feature images should be displayed without any changes in code. However checking your site I’ve found some errors in browser’s console which are related with theme’s js: http://screencast.com/t/A5oKnz8tg This errors may be caused by some plugins which conflicts with the theme or by some minifycation used for js. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using, remove the css/js minification then test the site again.

The theme can’t control the informations picked by Facebook sharer when a post is shared. Facebook looks for og tags and picks the details from these tags. To generate the og tags you can use a plugin like SEO By Yoast which is tested and works fine with our theme. Please check these links for more details in this regard: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/getting-open-graph-for-your-articles/https://yoast.com/social-media-optimization-with-wordpress-seo-by-yoast/
Another important aspect is server’s response time. Facebook won’t wait to long for requested data and if the server respond to slow some data will be skipped. Checking your site with google page-speed tool I’ve noticed that the response time is higher then 6s, please check the screen: http://screencast.com/t/2qMDqyDS2 Make sure that your server meets theme’s requirements and also ensure that the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/

It is very likely that Facebook won’t anything about a new published post. Facebook handle a huge amount of data and a new published post won’t be indexed automatically. However you can force Facebook to update new posts by running a fresh scrape with debugger tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/http://screencast.com/t/8rKTpv28f

Hope this helps!
Thanks!

If you’re using an optimization plugin, check your minification. I use W3C Total Cache, and always have to tweak the settings whenever they release a new update (like they did last week) to get my images to appear.
