Facebook sharer link not working despite correct Open Graph tags
2

I'm experiencing an issue where the Facebook sharer link is not working for any of my domains. I have verified that the Open Graph tags are correctly implemented, and the Facebook Sharing Debugger shows no errors. When I attempt to use the sharer link, it leads to a "Page isn't available right now" error. However, manually posting the links on Facebook works fine.

Steps taken:

Verified Open Graph tags using the Facebook Sharing Debugger. Ensured there are no redirects or security headers blocking Facebook. Tried clearing Facebook cache by repeatedly scraping the URL. Tested multiple domains with the same result. Example URL:

Not working sharer link: https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.sonzinimortuary.com/obituaries/caleb-cluff-2024-12

I should add this has been working flawlessly for a couple years now and just started getting reports of hit yesterday.

Looks like this was a temporary issue on Facebook's end. Appears to be working again now.

The you never shared it, but you know it’s not working? Use the sharing debugger, fix the issues if there are any listed

I've tried sharing it and I get the error. There is no error in the debugger for many of the other tests we have done and many domains. I see how it should look in the debugger, but I can not share.

So your question is specifically about the sharer.php URL, okay. That's currently broken, not sure if for ever or just temporarily.

Most people used https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?display=page&u= when it still worked btw
