Need a bit of a hand... WordPress

Doug Montgomery comments:

Thanks but I'm not interested in another thumbnail regeneration program. The thumbnails are created it's just that the wrong image is being sent to FB.

Doug Montgomery comments:

Not sure why that posted twice...but I also notice that that particular plugin hasn't been updated in 8 months and has a couple of horror stories in the comments. Something I'm not wanting to 'test the waters' with.

Sabby Sam comments:

Hi Doug,

See if you add this ( add_image_size( 'facebook', 600, 315 );) then it will not work unless you regenerate thumbnails.
Please try this plugin and I am 100% sure it will work. You need to regenerate thumbnails first then only it will work.

Doug Montgomery comments:

I did regenerate the thumbnails after making the change. All images have the facebook array in their image metadata. Also in the uploads folders there is a new thumb. Most of them are 315x315 because they are square but this is the regenerated thumbnail.

Doug Montgomery comments:

My images aren't all exactly 600x315 because I did it proportionally. But there are new images created where at least one side is 315. I'm fixing the code error now. I'll keep you posted. THanks

Doug Montgomery comments:

Just checked the code... That is part you mention is there...it was a bad cut and paste on my part.


if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) {
add_image_size( 'facebook', 600, 315 );
}

add_filter('wpseo_opengraph_image_size', 'mysite_opengraph_image_size');
function mysite_opengraph_image_size($val) {
return 'facebook';
}

Bob comments:

In your site I have randomly select one image try to find image with 600x315 size. That means regeneration of image is done and you have image with proper size.

http://unglove.me/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Fingerwraps-black-600x315.jpg

not it is possible that seo plugin is taking image from content in our case woo commerce thumbnail.
to force it not to take image from there.


// do not take image from content
add_filter('wpseo_pre_analysis_post_content', 'mysite_opengraph_content');
function mysite_opengraph_content($val) {
return '';
}


You can also try below code to force wp seo to set particular size image


// checking if there is image with -600x in name/url
add_filter('wpseo_opengraph_image', 'mysite_opengraph_single_image_filter');
function mysite_opengraph_single_image_filter($val) {
if ( preg_match('/-600x/', $val) ) return $val;
}


Bob comments:

add above two code in functions.php file and check what happans.

Doug Montgomery comments:

I added the second code and changed -600x to-315y and it worked....once.

I've since pulled the code, resaved and tried to repeat the problem and the fix. Now the fix isn't working. Is there a cache in FB? This is weird....worked only once.

I've since added both code snippets you suggest and no change. I'm baffled

Bob comments:

you can not use -315y there will be no such name in url
instead of you should write x315

currently when I see view source of your one product I do not get og tag for image. it was there last time.
it might be because of above change.

sometime whatever we do facebook can not find image from post.

after doing change try to view source of your product and find if it is adding og:image tag properly?

if it do not show such tag then remove last chunk of code


add_filter('wpseo_opengraph_image', 'mysite_opengraph_single_image_filter');

function mysite_opengraph_single_image_filter($val) {

if ( preg_match('/x315/', $val) ) return $val;

}

.

Doug Montgomery comments:

Ok, I've messed around a bit with this number.... No matter what I change it too it won't pull any image unless it has this value /x315/ and then it still pulls the biggest image available.

Here's an index of images
http://unglove.me/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/

Doug Montgomery comments:

And thanks for the wake up call...I've been using Facebook to test it instead of looking at the source...much quicker that is...duh

Bob comments:

I am not able to see any og:image tag in your view source. please remove last code so that i can get image.

and you have many images which name has x315 so if any image is there on available page then it may take that image as like 315x315 image or 427x315 image.

Doug Montgomery comments:

Ok..I changed it

Doug Montgomery comments:

Ok...I just noticed something....

All my "featured" images have an image that is 600x315 and they are cropped. The other images didn't get the 600x315 thumb, not in this folder anyways...

http://unglove.me/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/

Should I maybe just delete the 600x315 images? Most all of my images are square.

Bob comments:

okay now your post and go:image tag.

I tried to post it on facebook and found that facebook is cropping it by it self to display on timeline.

and it is taking 600x315 image because of the code that we set.

add_filter('wpseo_opengraph_image_size', 'mysite_opengraph_image_size');
function mysite_opengraph_image_size($val) {
return 'facebook';
}


I think this is the way it should work. and it's working but facebook is cropping it while displaying on timeline.

Doug Montgomery comments:

I probably should have asked this before...but why the 600 image? I got that number from the post I mentioned above, that was their recommendation but isn't 600 a bit large? What if I were to delete those 600 images, would it pull the 315?

Bob comments:


add_filter('wpseo_pre_analysis_post_content', 'mysite_opengraph_content');
function mysite_opengraph_content($val) {
return '';
}


this code help to not send any other image from content to facebook. so combination of above and this code helps your page to send only necessary image.

I am going to sleep now so will not be available for few hours. Hope you get your solution.

Doug Montgomery comments:

Ok...here is something for you...

I've deleted the photo 600x315.
When I then put the url in the browser it can not find it, as it should be that way.

When I refresh the page it recreates the cropped image at 600x315

Doug Montgomery comments:

Thank you for all your help. Get some sleep. I'll be up for the next 9hrs in front of the computer...watching the Superbowl here in a few hours.

Doug Montgomery comments:

Still trying to get this resolved.
