| Hoping for a quick answer without having to bother Ross - I have my Skinned WP3D page for my client and they want to put that on facebook. Copying and pasting the link into facebook doesn't work and the embed code doesn't work for this. How is this done? Thanks! | ||

| They want a thumbnail and info about the listing to show up. Right now when they paste the link, all that shows up is my company name | ||

| Actually...I think I found which model you're working on. So, for the record here (this comes up semi regularly) Facebook creates a very strong cache of shared pages (unrelated to WP3D Models) when they are discovered/shared for the first time. This usually works great, but becomes problematic when something about that page changes after the cache was created. I believe this is currently what was happening in this case and thankfully, this is pretty easy to remedy. Remember, this is unrelated to WP3D Models and this solution applies to ANYTHING you might want to share on Facebook. So, if the content that pops up in your Facebook share window appears to be wrong, or has changed...try clearing the Facebook information with this tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ In the field provided, you'll enter the link that you're trying to share, then click the "Debug" button. Likely you'll see the wrong info presented (as was the case with @pixelray's model). You should also see a timestamp that shows when the information was last scraped. Use the "Scrape Again" button to request that Facebook goes back and looks for new information. I've found that you may need to repeat this process a time or two and even give it a few minutes (maybe even 10-15) to clear everything out. Once you've followed these steps, try Sharing the original URL again and hopefully you'll find that the correct information is available. And...going forward, try not to share a URL (or a WP3D Model) until it is fully formed and ready to go! Hope this helps WP3D Models customers...and anyone else suffering from the a similar Facebook sharing issue.  |
