Frozen Title Attribute in Opengraph Debugger - facebook-graph-api

I'm receiving an error in the object debugger that states:
Attempted Frozen Title Change It appears that you are trying to change
the property og:title from Home to [the title] If so, you are not allowed to
for this object because too many actions have been published against
it.
It's scraping the tag:
<meta property="og:title" content="[the title]" />
The [the title] value is what I want the title to appear as - however, the title is simply populating as 'Home' in the debugger.
So two questions:
1) How can I 'unfreeze' this property/is this possible?
2) How can I prevent this happening in the future?
Thank you in advance.

Sitemap in Django - Titles don't show in google search

I have followed the steps in the documentation and it seems to be working as expected.
I have got an automated sitemap generated: https://duelify.com/sitemap.xml
Yet somehow there is no way to specify the title.
If I search in google for my site: site:duelify.com and scroll down I see the main site's title for every link:
Duelify | Duel Your Friends & Foes
https://duelify.com/topics/discuss/2/vegetarian-diet/
That doesn't look right.
If I try this with Stackoverflow:
site:stackoverflow.com django
Each entry has a proper title.
How could I achieve that? It is not clear from the given site map references.
The title displayed in Google search results has nothing to do with the sitemap.
Use meta (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.asp) and title tags:
<head>
<meta name="description" content="Your page description">
<title>Your page title</title>
</head>
And don't forget to set proper HTML heading tags.

Facebook's 'like button' doesn't work as it should

I know there are many threads on this subject; I read them all (I think) and none of them is an answer to my problem, so here goes:
I want a facebook 'like' button om my website; the kind which invites the liker to add a comment. It is working 'a bit', but not the way I'd expect. I use a special fb-account for testing and found that:
The fact that I 'liked' my webpage shows up under 'actions', but NOT under 'likes'.
The 'comment' gets lost (is not published). Consequently, the 'like doesn't show up in the timeline. (From FB's documentation, I gather that 'likes' are published on the timeline only if a comment was added. And indeed, it seems to work that way when I click the like-button on other websites and add a comment.) Consequently, it doesn't show up on the 'newsfeed' of my 'friends' either.
What did I do wrong?
Of course I used the FB debugger (the 'linter') to make sure my webpage passed all tests.
I used the iFrame version as well as the javascript version of the button, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
I used the code as generated by fb's own code-generator (that is the xdbml-version using javascript), as well as iFrame code from other code-generators. Finally, I copied the exact iFrame-code from another website, which DOES exactly work as expected (that is: the like action shows up in the timeline with the provided comment and the 'like is added to my set of 'likes'.) I just replaced the URL with my own, taking care it is properly url-encoded. But this code, while clearly working for someone else, is not working for me: I get the same disappointing result.
There is, in fact, another difference still: when, in facebook, I click on the link of some other website I 'liked' I am immediately taken to that website and the page I 'liked'. But when I click on the link to my wn website, I first get a 'warning' dialogue-box, informing me of the dangers of clicking links. For the life of me I can't understand why these differences in behaviour occcurr.
A hint that something is wrong may be (?) that on my website, when the 'comment-box' appears after clicking the button, it doesn't close when I click 'publish'; instead the box stays visible until I click 'close'.
Here is the code I use:
Meta-tags:
<meta property="og:title" content="Modern soefisme - Modern Sufism" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Home Page of Mabel van Asperen, devoted to sufism, sufi acivities and sufi literature" />
<meta property="og:type" content="non_profit" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.phlogiston.nl/speeltuin/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.phlogiston.nl/speeltuin/images/hearts_with_wings.jpg" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Sufi Stuff" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="100000985117039" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />
The iFrame:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ephlogiston%2Enl%2Fspeeltuin%2F&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100%; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
The xfbml-version:
<script Language="javascript">
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/nl_NL/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.phlogiston.nl/speeltuin/" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false"></div>
Can anybody shed some light on this? I would be most grateful, as I'm getting rather frustrated since 'everybody' seems to be able to make a well-functioning like-button but I can't. (And I'm also getting tired of the fact that 'experimenting' seems to be so difficult: after clicking the like-button once I can't use it again. So, for each try I have to make up a new webpage. Or does someone know a better way?)
I'm not really sure if this will solve your problem but try changing the overflow css value in the iframe to something other than hidden.
The facebook reference for the like plugin states:
When I click the Like button, the popup window (or "flyout") doesn't
show. Why?
If the Like button is placed near the edge of an HTML element with the
overflow property set to hidden, the flyout may be clipped or
completely hidden when the button is clicked. This can be remedied by
setting the overflow property to a value other than hidden, such as
visible, scroll, or auto.
As far as 'unliking' your like button, its hard to see but if you move your mouse cursor to the left side of the like button, a grey 'x' will appear.
Click on that and you will unlike.
Hope that helps!
I'm having a tough time with this too so your not alone! I can't seem to get the pop up from the like button which allows me to share a link in my feed. I keep getting this 'Unknown RPC service: widget-interactive' error. Wish it was easier.

Like Button (SEND) Shows the og:metadata info and not the href content (sometimes)

The site is: http://grantdeb.com
I want to be able to dynamically add meta properties to the Recommend(s) and Send(s). Right now, it's using the meta og: properties and that is totally NOT what I want.
The LIKE count is also showing incorrectly for each like even though I've pushed the data-href to it like:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://grantdeb.com/wedding-photographers-hampton-roads/[dynamic id]/Wedding-Photography" data-send="false" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false" data-action="recommend" ></div>
BUT - for some reason, once in a while the LIKE / SEND does NOT use the meta properties and correctly shows the correct count AND the correct picture / title I want for the Send.
If you go to our site at http://grantdeb.com look specifically at the "Jasmine Plantation Wedding Photography" (like the 5th post down) you'll see the number of Recommendations is correct, and if you hit the "Send" button at right bottom, it actually uses the correct title and picture we want.
That post is the way we want the Recommend / Send to display.
Why is that happening to some of them and to others it shows our og: metadata?
I can’t exactly see on your site what the problem is (or match your problem description with your site’s content) – but looking at the URL for the post you mentioned in Facebook debug tool, it seems that you have
<meta property="og:url" content="http://grantdeb.com" />
set for all of your detail pages – so that is what Facebook considers the “real” URL for all of your actual posts marked with this tag.
(Can’t tell if this is what you explicitly wanted or not, because your problem description is kinda fuzzy to me.)

Image Problems when Adding a Facebook "Like" Button to an external page

I am trying to add the Facebook “Like” or “Recommend” button to the bottom of some of the content pages on our website, so that when someone clicks it, it is immediately posted on their FB wall - spreading the word about the page etc.
I found this code to do it:
<div id="fb-root"> </div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=174289559298553&xfbml=1"></script>
<p><fb:like send="true" show_faces="true" action="recommend" font="arial" href="http://amathus.staging.screenpages.net/moillardproducerpage" width="450"></fb:like></p>
But when I put it on the page and test it by "liking/ recommending" it, when it feeds through to my facebook the image picked up to represent the page with the link is not good at all.
I then tried putting meta tags in the coding so that it picked up the right image, like this:
<meta property="og:title" content="Domaine Moillard" />
<meta property="og:type" content="drink" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://amathus.staging.screenpages.net/moillardproducerpage" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.amathusdrinks.com/skin/frontend/default/default/Agro-de-Bazanc.jpg" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Amathus Drinks" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="61406146" />
But again the only images it picked up on were the small payment logo at the bottom (sagepay logo - not ideal!).
Anyone know how I can get it to show a relevant image next to the link when someone likes the page?
Thanks,
Clare
I tried running http://amathus.staging.screenpages.net/moillardproducerpage thru the linter tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) and nothing came up. Is this the correct URL?
From the image url you gave above, I see it's from http://www.amathusdrinks.com/, so I ran http://www.amathusdrinks.com/moillardproducerpage thru the linter tool as well. Got some results, but it has some issues to be fixed:
Inferred Property: The og:url property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The og:title property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The og:image property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
I'd say, fix the og: tags on that page, and you'll be back in business :)

Wordpress overwriting title in customized theme

I'm attempting to change the of the Lightword theme to show only the page title in the tag, and not the "Page Title | Blog Title" it normally does.
In the header template, I changed the title line to:
<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>
After refreshing the page on the server, it STILL showed up as "Page Title | Blog Title". I went on to delete the title entirely as a test, leaving only <title></title> - but it appears something overrode it within WP, and the same title format came out.
Finally, I added a space in the title tag like such (designed to break any regexps):
<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></ title>
And at long last, my title actually came out <title>Page Title</ title>. This behavior strikes me as extraordinarily odd, however - why does wordpress (or this theme) resist changing the title structure? Is there any less-hacky way to get around it?
Try this instead to show just the page title:
<?php the_title(); ?>
EDIT
Try this code to get just the page name in title:
<title><?php wp_title("",true); ?></title>
