I've overridden the og:image value for my article content type and user entity. When the articles or users are shared everything works like it should be.

The issue happens when
1. I clear the site cache.
2. I use the facebook og debugger tool to check some article node or user url
3. It always says "The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags."
4. Coundn't get the token value to work for that node or user there after.
5. The global default image also doesn't show up.

Took some time to get what was happening and I do understand If i don't clear the cache and use the debugger tool to check how somethings gonna look it won't happen. But everyone clears the cache at some point also i guess facebook scrapes url after a certain time period.

Am using the module for the first time do guide me if i got it all wrong.

This happens with all overridden values not just image property.

Also the user and nodes created before installing the module only shows the global values not the overridden values for the individual node and users.

I understand the module is actively maintained and evolving, but it'll be good to know if it happens for anyone else and ways to fix it. Thanks.

After clearing cache the nodes that are edited or resaved show the right og properties. No luck with users though.

I've just encountered this too on one particular site. It's a bit of a nuisance.

Title: 'og:image' fails on cache clear and Open Graph Object Debugger tool » Some meta tags disappear after a cache-clear
Component: Open Graph » Code

I've seen this happen repeatedly when the "drush cc all" is ran, but it's fine if just the {cache_metatag} table is cleared. It also affects multiple meta tags, not just the Open Graph ones.

Tested this again with 7.x-1.0-beta9+35-dev. the overridden values for nodes are working good now even after cache clear. Tested with at least 20 -25 nodes.
The issue exist with users though, all i am getting is the global default meta for existing users and for new users it works good and defaults to global for some users once cache is cleared. Weird cause it works good on some and not on others.

Can you please try again with the latest -dev release?

Hey Damien, tested it with the new rc1, with upgrade and fresh install the same behavior is exhibited with users in my site. Can send you the links if you'd want to have a look.

I've confirmed the problem that Dhamub's site is experiencing - some objects are loading their configuration correctly while some others don't - but I haven't been able to track it down yet. Argh.

Taking this off the 1.0 release schedule, will follow-up afterwards.

Tested with the latest dev for a few hours, Looks the metatags works fine with authenticated users but defaults to global when the user has other custom roles like editor, moderator etc and admin.

1. When the admin creates a user with an additional role and if the admin or user edit their profile the metatag defaults to global.

2. When a user registers from a path other than user/register like editor/register using regpath module the metatags are reset to global when the profile is edited

The issue seems to be created when the drupal roles and profile2 profiles assigned to them have the same name. No more issue with users on cache clear.

Ok, that's completely confusing. Glad you got it working.

Going to leave this open so it can be looked into some more, now that you've worked out some specifics.

Does this problem still happen with the latest -dev release?
