I have a Wordpress blog. I have tested three different ways (three plugins) that adds Open Graph tags to each my post. I have browsed source of my page many times. Everthing seems fine. Example:

<!-- Jetpack Open Graph Tags -->
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Some Title" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://blog.com/some-title/" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Some Description" />
<meta property="article:published_time" content="2011-06-06T09:19:45+00:00" />
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2015-09-15T10:31:57+00:00" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="blog.com" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://blog.com/files/2011/06/Rees.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1024" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="650" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://blog.com/files/2011/06/Rees.jpg?w=640" />
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />

And... nothing. No matter, what I try to do, Facebook keeps displaying only title and description and there is no way I can force it to display image along with it.

Is there anything, I'm doing wrong or missing something?

EDIT: This is specific to a particular blog and to Facebook only. I can share the very same blog post on Twitter or Google+ and -- of course -- image appears. I can post a link from any other blog and it -- again -- works fine and appears on Facebook with proper image.

    How long has it been since you added these tags? Facebook does not recrawl a page if it has not long been fetched.

  • I was trying to post an article written (posted to Wordpress) about an hour ago. Shouldn't Facebook try to crawl page / parse tags immediately, when user pastes its URL into status update box and when Facebook generates miniature, with title, text and photo?

Here's an amazing tool... It's the Facebook "Debugger". It shows you how Facebook sees your page, including any errors it detects.

Debugger - Facebook for Developers

  • Though you haven't answered my question directly (what can cause), the tool you brought, which I didn't know, has just perfectly answered my question! :> Thus, I'm happy to accept your answer!

    It's hard to answer your question without the debugger in my opinion. I'm lazy and use it every time I have an issue. Could you share what the problem was?

    I, most certainly, will be using it every time, I'm stuck, starting from now. I haven't used it before asking, because I'm very new to Facebook and I wasn't aware of such tool. My problem was very obvious. I wasn't aware, that Facebook caches every link posted anywhere by anyone. I posted it once, when linked page had no featured image, then deleted post, then tried to re-post when linked page was already enriched with featured image and I was certain, that Facebook will use fresh "crawl" of page. It turned out, that it used cached version without image. Forcing cache refresh solved problem.
