Hi

Considering the error message on the FB debugger, I would say that you have other(s) extensions adding OGP tags onto your page.
Also, sh404SEF default object type I think is "Article", not "Website", so either you have changed the default, or that other extension is changing it.

Hi...

Honestly no.... prior to upgrading it was fine. It was after upgrading then all these started to come in. Do you think you might be able to take a peek at the site?

Also despite me putting specificllly the image there, why does it always say OG image not specified

Ok i took your advice and yes there was another plugin that coincidentally was interefering with the OG:.... disabled that.. and it works... except that it still says for the image:
og:image was not defined, could not be downloaded or was not big enough. Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and use an image that's at least 200x200px and is accessible from Faceboo... See More

Hi

The debugger is mentioning another image.

I think you just need it to update its cache, by using the Fetch new scrape information.

Checking this.

Yes, working fine now.

The only way for you to have FB update their data about your page after you made some change (OGP data or pretty much any change on the page) is to use the "Fetch new scrape information" button on the debugger page. Otherwise, they keep the same data in cache and use that for ever (they definitely are NOT google).

Hi

Using FB for that is very basic: you open the source code of your page, you check for all the OGP tags. If they look all right, then you head over to the FB debugger and you look up your page. If the raw tags they display don't match what you see, then you need to "Fetch new scrape infromation".
