Problem with facebook sharing - returns 403 code

[ziarulamprenta]

Hello,

Starting from a month ago we are constantly facing a problem when sharing articles on facebook that we get the 403 response code when posting.
I attached the facebook debugger for a crawl done on one of our articles.
Also here is the robots.txt: https://ziarulamprenta.ro/robots.txt

Sometimes after a few tries it works, sometimes it doesn't work at all.

Can you help us with this problem?

[Blog2Social Support]

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

There can be various reasons for issues like this. Facebook and any other social media network will always display the information it fetches from the source code of your link since Blog2Social just sends your link towards them.
For example, if it takes too long fetching the information, if there are multiple open graph tags or if your website is not available, this could cause issues. These guides show you:
What are open graph tags and what do I use them for?
Troubleshooting: Checklist and solutions for setting Open Graph Tags

As far as I can see you’re also receiving the 403 error when checking your post with the Facebook Sharing Debugger. Please be aware that this is not caused by Blog2Social and outside of our sphere of influence.

I’d recommend making sure that you’re using only one plugin for setting your metadata (open graph tags), that your security plugins are not set too strict and that your website is available so Facebook can fetch your data properly.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards

Benedikt
