Answer 1

The issue is with the facebook cache and solution is to refresh the facebook cache by going to the link. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

and pressing the button "Fetch New Scrape information".

Hope it helps

Answer 2

I found out that the image that you are specify with the og:image, has to actually be present in the HTML page inside an image tag.

the thumbnail appeared for me only after i added an image tag for the image. it was commented out. but worked.

Answer 3

My site faces same issue too.

Using Facebook debug tool is no help at all. Fetch new data but not IMAGE CACHE.

I forced facebook to clear IMAGE CACHE by add www. into image url. In your case is remove www. and config web server redirect.

 add/remove www. in image url should solve the problem

Answer 4

The answers above are good and they should fix most of the problems you have. But to see the errors directly from facebook you can use the link https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/

that way you're sure of the steps you need to take.

I found out the URL for the og:image meta has to be an absolute url

Answer 5

I ran into this and while I had the og:image (and others), I was missing og:url and og:type, so I added those and then it worked.

<meta property="og:url" content="<? 
 $url = 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];; 
echo htmlentities($url,ENT_QUOTES); ?>"/> 

Answer 6

Your meta tag should look like this:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/rock.jpg"/>

And it has to be placed on the page you want to share (this is unclear in your question).

If you have shared the page before the image (or the meta tag) was present, then it is possible, that facebook has the page in its "memory" without an image. In this case simply enter the URL of your page in the debug tool http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug. After that, the image should be present when the page is shared the next time.
