So, to confirm, is this plugin enables me to publish my video (from YouTube embed to my blog post) to Facebook news feed and playable in the feed with large thumbnail.

No

I’d really love to pick up the development of this plugin again. It was one of my first big PHP projects and I learned a lot since then. As of 0.9 I’d like to turn it into a proper library. Support for custom fields is also in my todo list, since others were in similar situations as you right now. However, there are other things that are more pressing right now, but eventually I’ll find some time.

I think the track form your latest post simply does not come with an image and in such a case the uploader’s avatar will be used.

Does the plugin depend on $markup when it scrapes media-thumbnails from embeds such as SoundCloud?

yes, of course.

have you tried something like this:

$markup = get_post_meta($post_id, '_x_audio_embed');

and always keep in mind the object debugger might still display cached results. the presence of og-tags is more reliable.

Okay, I read about post formats

Note that while the actual post content entry won’t change, the theme can use this user choice to display the post differently based on the format chosen. For example, a theme could leave off the display of the title for a “Status” post. How things are displayed is entirely up to the theme, but here are some general guidelines.

I used the Twenty Fifteen theme and created an audio post using the embed code you mentioned before. Since it worked, I still have to assume that this is not caused by OGraphr, but maybe by another plugin or your theme.

What are audio posts? I never heard about that before? Is this specific to your theme?

As I said, I cannot reproduce this. What you could try is disable all other plugins, use one if the default themes and see if it changes anything. Maybe there’s an interference from one of those. l

Just to be sure, try other SoundCloud tracks as well, though the mentioned one gave me no problems. Is there any data stored in a custom OGraphr field? Are the other OG-tags present? Did you change any if the plugin’s default settings (try a reset). The plugin can run in two modes (on post/on visit), which do you use?

Does the og:image tag show up in the source of the page? In that case the Facebook cache might not have been updated (see FAQ). Did you just put the URL in your post, the embed code or do you use something else (e.g. short codes)? I tested the first two and had no problems.

I had to revert those changes in 0.8.35, but these will be addressed in 0.9. While it can be annoying while still working on your blog, you wouldn’t run your public blog in debug-mode anyway.

If you’re looking for a quick fix to the SoundCloud problem, please download the latest PHP files from the GitHub repository. The updated version will be on the WordPress Plugin Directory later today!

1. Are you using any other plugins that add Open Graph tags to your posts (e.g. JetPack)? The OGraphr settings allow you to disable JetPack to do that. For any other plugin, you’ll have to take a look whether you can disable it.

2. That’s actually a bug in the latest version, will fix this once I get home. Thanks for the notice!

Thanks for the report. Some of these were addressed in the latest version. I really should start working on 0.9, which should be more or less a rewrite!

You should probably supply further details. WordPress version, plugin version and settings. Step-by-step guide how you can reproduce this. As I said before, I cannot reproduce this on any of my blogs over different web-hosters.

And why do you think this is related to this plugin? Can’t confirm this behaviour running the latest 3.9 and 4.0 beta.

Thanks, that helped. Wouldn’t have found that, well hidden ??

Same here, this plugin is a mystery. I deactivated the plugin, I deleted the plugin, I even changed the email address given in my user profile. But I keep getting update messages sent to the previous email.
