Facebook share error

[David Petit]

Hi!

When we publish an article, the first times we try to share it with Facebook, we have a problem. The page is like without meta data, image etc.

Then we have to go to the debugger and press "Fetch new scrape information" and it solves the issue.
If we do not fetch new information, then the informations stored in the facebook Cache are "Error parsing input URL, no data was cached, or no data was scraped."

Not sure if it is related to the plugin but we are using it for the shares. It was working well before, no need to force to fetch new information from the debugger for the share to properly work. We are still searching for the cause of this and we want to confirm it is not related to the plugin and some changes from Facebook.

Thanks!

That is actually on Facebooks end. They don't cache the of tags and images
until after the first visit. There is a way to fix that issue by preloading
urls using the open graph api. If I remember later I will see if I can
find the articles.
