Still an issue on both of our sites that use the newspaper theme. Works fine with other themes. Newspaper Theme is the only commonality in both of these websites. Yes, you say it is a Facebook issues. But Facebook engineers says the THEME is actually blocking their scraper. He would not give me the details. We run 40 other websites on the server that have no issues. Of those that have posted this issue in the past, none have found a solution.

Thanks for the try – but that’s not it. The theme is not allowing the Facebook scraper to run. It sees the NEWSPAPER Themed sites as non existent – https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.texasforestcountryliving.com

This is what Facebook is seeing –
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don’t have permission to access this resource.</p>
<p>Additionally, a 403 Forbidden
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.</p>
</body>
</html>

The Robots file returns this message with Yoast –
# START YOAST BLOCK
# —————————
User-agent: *
Disallow:

Sitemap: https://www.texasforestcountryliving.com/sitemap_index.xml
# —————————
# END YOAST BLOCK

Without Yoast –
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Sitemap: https://www.texasforestcountryliving.com/sitemap_index.xml

We have checked all of our .htaccess files for code that would block.

We have disabled every plugin. Rolled back one version of Newspaper Theme. We have totally reloaded WordPress.

We have changed themes, and posting works just fine!

The only thing in common with this is our three sites with something in the NEWSPAPER Theme code blocking robots/scrapers.

This image issue is ONLY with my sites that use the Newspaper Theme. Our team has disabled all plugins, looked through every setting, etc. This problem IS SPECIFIC to the NEWSPAPER theme, and there are MANY reports of this issue from NEWSPAPER Theme users. As a web developer, the 100+ sites we have work just fine! Only the three NEWSPAPER THEME sites are giving us the Forbidden 403 error on social media for photos. The same social sites pages take images from other websites just fine. AGAIN, this is SPECIFIC TO NEWSPAPER THEME!

Hi Anamaria, I appreciate your “stock” answer, but both of my Newspaper themed sites stopped showing the images yesterday. See https://www.facebook.com/TFCLiving/
