Not posting to Facebook

    Doesn’t post to Facebook initially, OK with Twitter.
    When I click the Repost to Facebook this error appears:

    Array ( [Warning] => [Error] => An unknown error has occurred. )

    I read in your solutions somewhere that it may be to do with the image. In Post Options I’ve tried selecting ‘Text Post – just text message’ and also setting up a new post with nothing in it BUT text and still an issue.

    Also when I use Submit Test Post to Facebook in the settings\options this test post works fine. And it also posts fine if I use Social Media Feather and Share the exact same post from the front end. (I looked at the Facebook Debugger, and no major issues, which was really confirmed because sharing the post is working fine).

    Any ideas. It has worked. Just isn’t working now.

    After further investigation and testing in Settings using New Post to Social networks… if the path for the Image Post URL is https:// it doesn’t work. Only works for https://. As my whole site is all SSL and https how can I resolve?

    Yes, I did look at all the FAQs. But not sure how to change the absolute path of my images (which are all https) when I want them to be https? When I log in to the back end I’m using an SSL?

    It was working with your plugin but has now stopped.

    I wonder if you used protocol relative URLs in your code whether this would help? ie. // instead of https:// or https://.

    Many thanks, Lins

    This looks interesting…. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8855361/fb-opengraph-ogimage-not-pulling-images-possibly-https

    Think my case is also linked to https issue.

    Just in case this helps anyone else at all I amended my WordPress Address and Site Address (URL) settings (in Settings > General) directly from within the admin dashboard from https to just http. Then used a rewrite rule in .htaccess, something similar to this…

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?your domain name\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.your domain name.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

    Thanks.
