Hi admin & friends,

When I share my website http://www.worldbeenet.com to facebook, an error occurred, like the following image .

i check facebook debug Facebook Debug

appear warning og:image could not be downloaded or is too small
Facebook advice us use an image that’s at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook.

I think its because Map category icon is 50 x 50 pixels, so facebook block it?

Actually Map icon wont access in Facebook, but I think Facebook random to check our images, if failed size then block.

How do i fix this problem? any recommend?

Regards,
Howard Chan

That seems only to be a warning/question.
What happens if you actually share the link?

I had no trouble posting it, the issue is just because the image is in your upload folder, and I guess that triggers FB’s interest …

Hi friends, thank for your advice,

many friends meet this prob same as me, at least 4 person try already, also need verify, we never meet this prob before.

but a few friends also never meet this prob, like Guust.

after my team research, why our another website also have many smaller image, also can sharing to FB. We think not GD map prob, now i trying to change Open Graph to meet FB request.

Hi Wasanajones, thank you, maybe http/https, but my another few website also don’t have https. SO … hmmm, maybe not this prob.

There is no problem, FB is only asking you to make sure you actually want to share an image out of your upload folder, that’s all.
If the images on your homepage would not be in the upload folder, FB would not ask.
