Using the plug-in with pages vs. posts [official facebook plugin]
-
When I make a post, I have exactly what I expect in my meta information in terms of Open Graph.
Here’s the URL:

For Pages, even though I have a featured image (which on posts is used as the og:image), and both content text and an excerpt text, I miss both the og:image and the og:description.
What I would like to do is set a fallback for both, but also get pages to behave like posts.
Caveat: I am not a developer, so it’s very hard for me to understand talk of filters or understand what I’m meant to do with partial snippets of PHP. I find the Facebook plug-in a bit frustrating because as a plug-in, I really just expect it to be a plug and play type thing where I install it, click a few things and hit update and I get what I should reasonably expect. At the very core, a fallback image and description for my site seems to be a no brainer. That said, once I have a fallback, I want to be able to customize those things as well, the same way I can customize them when I write a post, with the onboard featured image functionality the plug-in is obviously listening to, and then the description from either the content or the excerpt.
Please help. I’ve made an attempt to try to figure this out before, but I feel like too much is being assumed from the other side in terms of my understanding of how the scripting works that is needed to do what I believe are basic things.
