Custom logo.og.png does not show up?

[fredrikse]

What might be wrong? I have the custom file both in the standard XenForo style as well as in my custom style. But when I share a thread to Facebook the logo does not show up. The width and height of the logo.og file is 100px. It's non-interlaced.

I thought it was supposed to be no larger than 50px, not that that would matter much. I also think it takes a bit due to FB cache or something (I think I read that somewhere)

I basically followed the instructions here:

http://xenforo.com/help/facebook/ (Changing the Default Open Graph Image)

You were right:



The recommended size should be 50x50. When I read the help section I thought it should be 100x100.

This is what it looks like on Facebook:

Might take a bit to update the cache.

Still no luck with the custom picture on Facebook.

All I did, was create my image, name it exactly like the default xenforo one...

logo.og.png

And overwrote it when I uploaded.

That worked for me.

Good for you I can't get it to work. This is what the original file looks like in a picture editor:



Maybe I'm saving it wrong? Now I use PNG like the original file.

Now I have managed to get it to work when I paste a thread link in the status update form. My logo is now showing up.

I tried once again recommending a thread in XenForo but in the news feed on Facebook it's just my generic profile picture that shows up. I would like to have my logo.

Oh, you are sharing as you are logged in... I think it automatically pulls that persons avatar.

I could try from not being registered at your site, and recommend, and show you the image it pulls in PM if you'd like.

Glad you got it fixed.

A template was necessary to keep the avatar from showing up since the default setting is to show the avatar from what I understood
