    text
    copied!<p>I've added a FB share button to a page on my site, using this method: <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/share-links/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/share-links/</a></p> <p>Source code looks like this:</p> <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php? u=https://[subdomain].mysmilecentral.com/public/show?link_code=[access code for individual's photo]" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;img src="https://[our S3 bucket]/images/fb-share-btn2.png" style="margin-top: -35px; margin-right: 126px; float: right" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've got the <code>FB Javascript SDK</code> loading asynchronously, and am using <code>OG</code> meta tags:</p> <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;meta property="og:url" content="https://[subdomain].mysmilecentral.com/public/show?link_code=[access code for individual's photo]" /&gt; &lt;meta property="og:title" content="Order Pictures of [child's name] at [studio name]'s MySmileCentral!" /&gt; &lt;meta property="og:description" content="View images and/or order pictures of [child's name]." /&gt; &lt;meta property="og:image" content="https://[our S3 bucket]/[path to JPEG image]" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>Facebook's Object Debugger finds everything without a problem. </p> <p>However, the Share Dialog doesn't show the thumbnail image defined in my <em><code>og:image</code></em> tag until I refresh the page. Every subsequent time that image is shared the thumbnail properly displays without needing a page-refresh.</p> <p>What's the issue here?</p>
