In the source code I see two og:description meta tags. The first and correct one seems to be coming from your Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin. The other one is outside the plugin’s block, so I guess it’s defined elsewhere. Check your theme if it includes that meta tag. If not, check your other plugins. Disable … Read more
Go to Settings > Sharing in your dashboard Sroll down until the “Button Style” option. Choose “Official Buttons”. The Facebook Share button has now changed into a Facebook Like Button.

As was already stated, Facebook automatically detects images if the OG image tag is missing. However, in some cases, it might detect other images (e.g. not from your post but from other content). In that case, it can be useful to fetch a list of all images attached to the post and use the one … Read more

An easy way would be to include the Facebook Javascript code: wp_deregister_script(‘facebook’); wp_enqueue_script( ‘facebook’, ‘https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js’ ); Then use the default Facebook invite page. <script> function facebookInvite(){ var request = { message: ‘my message’, method: ‘apprequests’ }; FB.ui(request, function (data) { if (data.request_ids.length > 0) { alert(“Facebook invite successful.”); } }); } </script> EDIT: Here are … Read more

First, this isn’t a WordPress specific question, it’s a Facebook question. Secondly, Facebook caches pages, they don’t crawl them on every submission. If you have a URL that has already been submitted to Facebook before, then they will have already crawled it for the OG data once before, and saved it to their cache. If … Read more
A quick google brought up these, which led me to this post. You can access the site’s object in the Graph and get the current “Fan count”. i.e. http://graph.facebook.com/http://google.com. Note that you will need an oauth token to do this. This is definitely the most accurate way of getting a page’s Likes. You can also … Read more
That really depends on how the video is embedded into the page. Facebook can only handle specific formats and if it sees something it doesn’t expect, it defaults to a failsafe “show nothing” standard. If the embedded video is well-recognized standard (i.e. YouTube’s default player) it should work just fine. If it’s your own self-hosted … Read more
