Sharing Articles Problem
apostolos
When trying to debug a page where OpenGraph image tag is set, i get the following error in the facebook debugger:
Provided og:image URL, "mysite" could not be processed as an image because it has an invalid content type.
because of this problem the preview of the photo does not appear when I post an article on facebook and twitter

If you have hotlink protection enabled, that is likely the issue. Check cPanel setting and disable hotlink protection and see if that fixes the issue.

Accepted AnswerOpenGraph images should use og:image:url instead of og:image
$this->document->addCustomTag('<meta property="og:image" content="'.JURI::root().$og_image.'" />');Change to:
$this->document->addCustomTag('<meta property="og:image:url" content="'.JURI::root().$og_image.'" />');Can you kindly check if the solution works?

Accepted AnswerMaybe try different image type, use jpg , not jpeg or other type.
Facebook offcial requirements
- The minimum allowed image dimension is 200 x 200 pixels.
- The size of the image file must not exceed 8 MB.
- Use images that are at least 1200 x 630 pixels for the best display on high resolution devices. At the minimum, you should use images that are 600 x 315 pixels to display link page posts with larger images.
If you have any problems with images not being displayed correctly for a URL, try plugging in the image URL in the Sharing Debugger for any errors >> https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
