LinkedIn Open Graph not working

Hi, lets do a process of elimination. First of all activate the plugin if you disabled the plugin. Then don’t enable any Firewall rule. If the issue is resolved then you know it is one of the Firewall rules. Enable one by one and at the same time carrying out a test each time you enable one of the Firewall rules until you come across the culprit feature.

Report back.

Thank you

I have the same problem but has managed to find the section in the .htaccess file that stops LinkedIn:

# 5G:[USER AGENTS]
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
# SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent ^$ keep_out
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent (binlar|casper|cmsworldmap|comodo|diavol|dotbot|feedfinder|flicky|ia_archiver|jakarta|kmccrew|nutch|planetwork|purebot|pycurl|skygrid|sucker|turnit|vikspider|zmeu) keep_out
<limit GET POST PUT>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=keep_out
</limit>
</IfModule>

If I remove that section from the .htaccess file then LinkedIn works as it should.

But I do not know how to be able to maintain existing security while letting LinkedIn take part of the meta-information, please help me!

Best regards,
Staffan

@myrimax, please enable Enable 6G Firewall Protection and disable Enable 5G Firewall Protection. I am sure your issue should be resolved.

Thank you

Yes, thank you so much!!!

hi, i think i have the same problem. i have totally disabled any firewall function of the plugin, but still not having linkedin fetching open graph correctly. how can i proceed to solve this issue??

thanks

@tommasochiari, this thread is resolved. Can you start a new support thread.

Thank you

Hi, thank you for sharing this and most of all for solving the problem. I had exactly the same issue and couldn’t find a solution for months!
I suspected the Yoast SEO plugin, but in the end it was AIO WP Security & Firewall plugin.
I did exactly what you suggested – switch from 5G to 6G firewall, and that did it.
Great job, thank you!

@mbrsolution,

Sorry for my comment here. But we have the same problem and I know how it comes. The problem is the “Enable 5 g Firewall Protection” option. Here state ‘jakarta’:

# 5G:[USER AGENTS]
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
# SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent ^$ keep_out
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent (binlar|casper|cmsworldmap|comodo|diavol|dotbot|feedfinder|flicky|ia_archiver|jakarta|kmccrew|nutch|planetwork|purebot|pycurl|skygrid|sucker|turnit|vikspider|zmeu) keep_out
<limit GET POST PUT>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=keep_out
</limit>
</IfModule>

The problem is that Linkedin has this ‘useragent’:

108.174.8.21 – – [06/Jul/2017:10:05:55 +0200] “GET / HTTP/1.0” 403 494 “-” “LinkedInBot/1.0 (compatible; Mozilla/5.0; Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1 +https://www.linkedin.com)”
108.174.8.21 – – [06/Jul/2017:10:06:06 +0200] “GET / HTTP/1.0” 403 494 “-” “LinkedInBot/1.0 (compatible; Mozilla/5.0; Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1 +https://www.linkedin.com)”
108.174.8.21 – – [06/Jul/2017:10:06:33 +0200] “GET / HTTP/1.0” 403 494 “-” “LinkedInBot/1.0 (compatible; Mozilla/5.0; Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1 +https://www.linkedin.com)”

If you removed the bot (useragent) ‘jakarta’ from the option, the problem is then finally resolved. Hopefully, if the plugin developer solved this problem!

Thank you!

@website90, you will notice that the developers have added the following 6G Blacklist/Firewall Rules in version 4.0.7. If you disable the 5G rules and enable the 6G rules you will most likely find that the issue you are having will be gone.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Kind regards

@mbrsolution,

Thanks! does the 6G option exactly the same as the 5G? But ignored the user agent (bot)? Maybe that can be indicated in the plugin? that if you are shared links via Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter that you can better disabled the 5G option?

Hi, the 6G option is much better and up to date. Please test this feature and report back if you have any issues.

Thank you
