Why can't FB find this url?

[KempRugeLawGroup]

The other day we updated an old blog post, http://www.kempruge.com/flashing-headlights-no-good-deed/, and while it uploaded fine to g+ and the page is live, for some reason, FB says it can't find it. This has never happened to me before, so I don't know what to do? I tried posting other links to FB from our site, and they all worked, so I know it's not a problem with our site. Then, I tried posting the link using other FB accounts, but they did't work. So I know it's not our FB page.

I did do one thing that may have caused this problem, but not sure. After I updated this post, I scheduled it to post thinking it would do it immediately. I went to post the link on FB, before it was scheduled to publish in WP, and that's when I noticed it wasn't finding it. I went back to WP, and changed the schedule time. Once I did that, the page was live, but I can't get FB to recognize the page. It's like FB needs to clear its cache or something. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ruben

Hi,

Sometimes FB seems to get a bit stuck on urls, I find running them through the fb url debug tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) usually seems to unstick them. I plugged that url into the tool, it returns ok, does it post properly now also?

Hey Ruben,

You may want to clear your cache for your browser, then restart the browser and log back in to Facebook. This is just a thought based on my test. I threw your link in my FB page and it seems to be loading the content and you can select 1 of 2 thumbnails. Have a look at the screenshot below.

See if that helps! Hope it does

All working this end too.

In the past, extreme measures have had to be taken and I have re-written (well, copy and pasted) an entire post to a new post with an almost identical URL and then done a 301 to the new page. Always fixed it as a last resort

Glad to know that works, Andy! I was considering that as a last ditch effort. Thanks!
