Hello @Brandocracy I too have had problems sharing to FB and gave up a while ago #578 Things worked again for me and then no more... Maybe it is multiple user error or maybe this is a bug? First I read the instructions again here: I have a vague recollection of there being an Open Graph setting in the Astroid Backend settings. Any way I tried sharing from 2 sites: HERE: Getting the following errors respectively: The following required properties are missing: fb:app_id Any body got any ideas? |

Exactly the same problem here, I too think the problem is the part after "#" in the URL to the pic. |

I've had some OpenGraph issues with images in the OG Astroid tab for Joomla menu items, found a work around: It seems the Astroid image URL for OG image adds a lot of detail that Facebook at least can't cope with (image size and specific location info).
My work around is to delete the image from the OG tab and in the Custom Code tab add the following to the "Before " field:
Attached screenshot examples.
The issue I think is the image URL in the OG tab looks something like this: OGImageURL#joomlaImage://local-OGImageURL?width=1200&height=630 - and Facebook (et al) doesn't know that to do with that.
