When I post my sit's link on FB it directs to a broken link, why?

Hello,

I used to be able to share my website link on FB and FB will pick up the image of my site and present the thumbnail with the link attached and everything was fine.

It the past 10 days I got someone to change my template and did some work on my site and I just found out that when I post my website link on FB the link is broken and leads to a forbidden 404 error. Plus FB wont pick up the image and doesn't show the thumbnail/ image of my site.

Does anyone know what is the reason for that?

Help appreciated.

this is strange...something with the Url address, i think...

can we have your site's address?

 I'll message it to you.

it looks like most of the content of your site is hidden from your visitors. So i think thats the reason for the issue.  And to add thumbnail of your site on facebook add this in your _header.html

<meta property="og:image" content="http://yoursite.com/yourimage.png" />

obviously edit it with your info

I added more content now and I still get the 403 Forbidden error. I used to have a splash page with much less content and this problem didn't exist.

Here is 403 error explained  http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E403.html

Are you sure it has nothing to do with the website URL? like adding a "/" or something like that?

a "/" can affect sometimes, can you just give me a url that is shared on facebook.

 Sure, i'll send it to you.

 Prashank25,  my hosting company was able to help me solve the issue with the broken link.

They changed something with the security mod and it looks like its working now.

I still didn't manage to fix the attached thumbnail and I wanted to ask if you can help me add that code you wrote to my site's  _header.html

Thanks.

Thats good your problem is solved with the broken link.. If you want i can add that code in your site's _header.html file, just message me the ftp details.
