Show profile in facebook share


in Facebook share dialogue, I want to show clickable user profile link as shown below (for regular posts, it's usually grey):

Showing user link

The url for the above image: here and I am testing here: here from Facebook open graph debugger console.

Every open graph property is present in CNN as well as in my website, infact I am solved all kinds of warning the debugger was giving me. However in my case, it doesn't show anything. Is there anything else I am missing?

First I thought it has something to do with popularity, but I noticed the same clickable profile link in some of my friends websites also (just regular business info wordpress site), therefore popularity cannot be a measure for them.


Solution

  • Apparently, the only solution I observed to work: Provide article:author parameter with a valid facebook username (not userid). So, this will work:

    <meta property="article:author" content="https://www.facebook.com/<username-here>"
