When I try to claim my URL I get this error:
The fb:pages tag on the url doesn't contain this page's id. The url has
fb:pages tag but they don't have this page's id. Please work with your
developers / webmaster to add this tag to your website.
Am I supposed to place this meta tag: <meta property="fb:pages" content="130810137587****" /> in the head of my web page's HTML before I can calm my URL? Or in the head of my Instant Article's HTML
?
You place that meta tag in the html for the url/subdomain/path you are trying to claim. Not in the instant articles.
If you're using Wordpress add your meta tag in the header.php file in the <HEAD>...</HEAD> section
You must put the tag between the tags of your website in the index
<Head>
<Meta property = "fb: pages" content = "130810137587 ****" />
</ Head>
You probably also need to update the open graph 'type' property:
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
As is said here:

Facebook is trying to read the metadata from your canonical URL, you can check which URL it's using on their debugging tool:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Paste your URL and check the Canonical URL info and its headers, that's the domain you need to update with the meta tag .
In my case, it was pointing to a different URL in my test environment.
Hope this helps
I have the same error.
you need to add the meta tag inside Head tag. of your website.

When someone posts a tweet that only contains a URL, Twitter does a bit of scraping where it grabs some text and an image from the webpage.
Example below:
Is there any way of retrieving this data from the Twitter API? I've not been able to find this data in anything that's returned. Do I need to provide some special parameter maybe? Or is this just something that's not possible?
No. You cannot get that data from the Twitter API.
The data that you're seeing is a Twitter Card.
Here's how it works.
The web developer puts some meta tags in their web page - take a look at the source for https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/well/move/for-your-brains-sake-keep-moving.html and you'll see:
<meta name="twitter:site" value="#nytimes" />
<meta property="twitter:url" content="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/well/move/for-your-brains-sake-keep-moving.html" />
<meta property="twitter:title" content="For Your Brain’s Sake, Keep Moving" />
<meta property="twitter:description" content="Exercise changes the workings of new brain cells in ways that may protect against dementia, a study in mice suggests." />
<meta property="twitter:image" content="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017/10/10/well/04physed-brain-photo/04physed-brain-photo-videoSixteenByNineJumbo1600.jpg" />
<meta name="twitter:card" value="summary_large_image" />
When Twitter sees a URL, it fetches it and looks for those tags. If it finds them, it will display a photo and headline on the Twitter website.
If you want to retrieve that data, you need to visit the URL and look for the OpenGraph tags.
I have wix website. I do want to create a page with a custom url.
So briefly I want all the url with
www.somedomain.com/books/*
to be redirect to my created wix page.
Any way possible.
Url Example:
When ever user types url such as:
www.somedomain.com/books/1
www.somedomain.com/books/2
www.somedomain.com/books/3
www.somedomain.com/books/4
www.somedomain.com/books/5
www.somedomain.com/books/6
then the redirection should be to my created page on Wix whose url is: "www.somedomain.com/books"
Assuming you meant you have full control over www.somedomain.com/books/, you could redirect using HTML.
Go to the head tag --> add the code:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=YourWixSiteHere.com" />
if you want to make this shorter, I'm not sure how
Why is this happening?
HTML shows:
<meta content='http://www.costumingdiary.com/2015/05/freddie-mercury-robe-francaise.html' itemprop='mainEntityOfPage' itemscope='itemscope'/>
Structured Data Testing Tool output shows:
http://www.costumingdiary.com/2015/05/freddie-mercury-robe-francaise.html#__sid=md3
Update: It looks like it has to do with my breadcrumb list. But still, why is it happening, and is it wrong?
If the URL you want to provide is unique you can use the itemid property.
I was confronted with mainEntityOfPage by the tool after the latest update. And using Google's example I used the following code
<meta itemscope itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" itemType="https://schema.org/WebPage" itemid="https://blog.hompus.nl/2015/12/04/json-on-a-diet-how-to-shrink-your-dtos-part-2-skip-empty-collections/" />
And this show up correctly in the Structured Data Testing Tool results for my blog
I don’t know where the fragment #__sid=md3 is coming from, but as the SDTT had some quirks with BreadcrumbList in the past, it might also be a side effect of this.
But note that if you want to provide a URL as value for the mainEntityOfPage property, you must use a link element instead of a meta element:
<link itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" href="http://www.costumingdiary.com/2015/05/freddie-mercury-robe-francaise.html" />
(See examples for Microdata markup that creates an item value, instead of a URL value, for mainEntityOfPage.)
I am working through the Facebook tutorial for iOS and am having trouble when a get to the final part with Publish Open Graph Story. I have gone through and set everything up as best I understand. When I try to test using the Object Debugger I get "Missing Required Property: The 'og:url' property is required, but not present." Can some one help me and explain this tag and how it should be set?
Thanks for the help.
Have a look at ogp.me they define og:url as :
og:url - The canonical URL of your object that will be used as its
permanent ID in the graph, e.g.,
"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/".
Basically as jeff sherlock of facebook explains in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7831012/228741
That when you give the url of your action (the one containing meta tags) facebook ignores everything that is on that page (doesn't render it) . But it renders whatever you have given in the og:url.
What i do usually is have my og:url call the same page with the parameters. So facebook renders the same page for me. If you want to render some other page you give the link in the og:url.
This is set as a meta tag in the <head> section.
Example :
<meta property="og:url" content="your url">
My site has an FB like button on a dynamic page.
There are also mod re-write rules on the site to allow a friendly URL for that dynamic page.
i.e the following opages are the 'same':
(url 1) www.getawayearth.com/property.php?id=703
(url 2) www.getawayearth.com/property-rental/holidayhome703.html
The page has a like button on it.
My problem is that the like button shows different values for each url, even though the the page is the 'same'. For example if you were to visit URL 1 an click on the like button, the like count would not be registered URL 2.
I understand why this is happening, however I was wondering if it is possible to set the like button to recognise the both urls as being the same?
If you have multiple Like buttons which should all 'like' the same thing, you need to point the href of the like buttons to that URL - i.e on page 1 and page 2, both like buttons will be of the form <fb:like href="http://example.com/page1"/>
I understand your issue, and Open Graph meta tags could be a way to let Facebook now that 2 different URLs are the same by setting the same og::url meta on both each URL page.
The same issue occurs with SEO, and it's why there is a meta data named "canonical" to specify the official URL of a page, even if there is different URLs to reach the same page content.
<html>
<head>
<meta name="title" content="your page title" />
<link rel="canonical" href="http://your-official-page-URL" />
<meta property="og:title" content="your page title" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://your-official-page-URL" />
</head>
…
Hope that can help.
