Hi,
Recently when i tried to share a post on Facebook, it doesn’t show the Featured image. I used Facebook debugger to diagnose the problem and it shows “Multiple OG:URL”
I view source and indeed, there was two <meta property> with OG:URL. One by WordPress SEO – Yoast, and another one at the bottom.
I did a few trial and error by first disabling the meta on WordPress SEO. The multiple OG URL went away, but still it doesn’t show the featured image.
I turned it back on and tried with my older post – which works even with multiple og:url so i’m not sure why recently my latest post does not have a featured image.
I did not make any changes to the theme for months, neither did i install any plugin so i’m not sure why it is starting to give me problem now.
A few things i need help on:
Since i did not install any plugins recently, the problem seems to be with the theme. In that case, can i check if you guys have added a meta property into the theme for Facebook itself? Is there a way i can disable it to see if it fixes the problem?Is there a way you guys can take a look to see if the theme is indeed causing the problem?

Hi, I am having exactly the same problem.. some of my posts show with images, some not.
Looking into it with the facebook debugger, it says:

make sure to reject these user agents in the “page cache” tab in W3 Total Cache:
————————-
facebookexternalhit
FacebookExternalHit/1.1
FacebookExternalHit/1.0This will block W3 Total Cache from sending cached pages to Facebook. This solved my issue with thumbnails and descriptions.
Hi There!
I have my test site setup now, and no cache or third-party plug-in installed yet.
The thing is, when I share a post via Facebook, I have to cancel out and click the share button a second time, in order for the featured image to appear!
Strange!?
Update: I tried again today, and sharing with Featured Image worked right away. So this could be a Facebook issue…

Hi There!
I SOMETIMES (not always) experience issues when sharing posts on Facebook.
The last week or so, I had to click and cancel the Facebook Share button TWO times.
Only after the THIRD click, the featured image appears in the share.I can work around this, because I know the solution, but the user does not, so they end up with a share with no featured image…
Tried several browsers, but all have the same behaviour. It could be a Facebook-issue, but I would be glad if you looked into the code. Maybe there are things you could improve.
Cheers!
P.S.: This issue seems to arise when sharing the post for the FIRST time. After tha post is shared once, all seems fine.
