When I used to put the link to post my articles in Facebook it would bring up the article image and it would be clickable. Now my posts are no longer clickable. I ran the url in Facebook debugger and was given the message that “The following required properties are missing: fb:app_id”. I believe that this is an open graph problem but I’m not sure. How do I fix this?

Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with your articles not being clickable on Facebook. It does sound like an Open Graph problem related to the missing
fb:app_id. To resolve this, you can follow these steps:-
Create a Facebook App (if you haven’t already):
- Register as a Facebook developer and create a Facebook App by following the Facebook documentation. This will generate a unique App ID for you.
-
Copy Your Facebook App ID:
- Once your app is created, copy your Facebook App ID from the Facebook App Dashboard.
-
Add the Facebook App ID in Rank Math:
- Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Social Meta.
- In the Facebook App field, paste your Facebook App ID.
-
Save Changes:
- Click on Save Changes at the bottom of the page to update the Open Graph tags on your site.
-
Clear Cache:
- If you have any caching plugins or server cache, make sure to clear them to see the changes.
-
Use Facebook Debugger:
- After making these changes, go back to the Facebook Debugger tool and enter your post URL again. Click on Scrape Again to fetch the latest version of your page.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with your articles not being clickable on Facebook. If you continue to experience problems, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
