  I debugged my site on Facebook and got all these warnings that need to be fixed – how do I fix them?

  Inferred Property
  The ‘og:url’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
  Inferred Property
  The ‘og:title’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
  Share App ID Missing
  The ‘fb:app_id’ property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.
  Inferred Property
  The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

  When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Just in case this applies, be aware that we have no control over the images that Twitter, Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

  @lorontolady can you try specifying featured images for each post?

  Also can you confirm you’re referring to http://lorontolady.wordpress.com/ ?

  Thanks for the help. I’ve managed to debug my site by ‘re-scraping’ it and friends can now click on the link. I realise my image is too big for Facebook and will sort this at some point.
