Is there a known issue with GetSimple Blog where in Facebook shares are redirected to the main Index page due to Facebook spider seeing a redirect ?
The following will be treated as a redirect by the crawler:
A HTTP redirect
A <link rel="canonical" href=".." /> tag
A <meta property="og:url" content=".." /> tag
Using either manually generated Facebook share buttons or SumoMe share app I get meta image and meta description from the wrong pages shared but only on pages that are generated through the blog. Â Interesting thing though sometimes the facebook debugger shows the correct meta information but the post still contains the wrong posts.
Have a look at feeddot . com , the main (home) page has the blog, the Hot Now pages are manually created.
Update - ( No response) - I see in the I18N forums that there is a redirect used by GetSimple Blog, Looks like I will have to remove it.
As a workaround I used I18n search and copied all the posts to separate pages.
To be clear the issue is not really GetSimple Blog - It is that Facebook Share post jumps to the wrong page or to the site root when it sees a redirect which GetSimple Blog seems to be using to move the user from the source page to the blog page.
I18N Search is on my opinion a much more flexible solution though it lacks an image Thumbnail in the search results. Next up will try to modify the I18n search results to include an image.
