Facebook crawler shows correct, but share button displays alternative content Karma: 0  
Hi Guys, please help:

Crawl results (screenshot attached): https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.scrapbookstudio.co.za%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D15%3Acapture-what-is-important%26catid%3D9%26Itemid%3D383

Yet sharing from this page displays a different result: http://shop.scrapbookstudio.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15:capture-what-is-important&catid=9&Itemid=383

I have no knowledge on how to fix this. Ideally we would like to share the article that the button relates too, thats how I understand it should be?

Hi,

probably the problem is due to the fact that the Joomla SEF links are turned off.

Enable it to have SEF links rewriting, so differences should not be there anymore.

Fastest support reply ever!!!

Your suggestion "half" worked

The share button here displays content correctly: http://testing.scrapbookstudio.co.za/index.php/blog/15-capture-what-is-important

but on this page it is incorrect: http://testing.scrapbookstudio.co.za/index.php/events/are-you-fresh

Any ideas please?

It works on that page too, NEVER forget to clear the Facebook cache using the debugger.

Just battling with one page not showing image on FB share button : http://shop.scrapbookstudio.co.za/index.php/join-our-kit-club

I also see the link in source code : <meta name="og:image" content="http://shop.scrapbookstudio.co.za/images/KitClub/AprilCarienaDetail2.jpg" />
