Facebook OG Debugger Can't Scrape site

The facebook og debugger is unable to scrape www.voinstyle.ca. I have so far tried the following solutions and none have worked. When I hit fetch new scrape information I get the following error 'Error parsing input URL, no data was cached, or no data was scraped.'

  1. Changed www from cname to A record pointing to server
  2. Contacted Godaddy host - nothing wrong or unique in our server setup.
  3. Doublechecked robots.txt, no problems there

I copied the homepage html to a file on a different server, and facebook was able to crawl that properly, so I do not believe it is a tagging issue. Based on this I thought it was a server issue however Godaddy cannot see anything that would indicate that.

Any ideas on what it could be, or what I could try to have the site scraped properly?

The site is a Wordpress based site.

Thanks,

It looks like there's something with the Redux Framework.

I bought a theme that uses the Redux framework and I get the same problem as you. When I disabled the Redux Framework plugin in wordpress, and tried again the facebook debugger, I got a response.

For instance, what I did was to disable redux, scrape new information at Facebook's Object debugger, so now FB knows what to render, and finally, re enabled Redux.

I know It's not ideal, but at least, while I find out a real solution, FB will show something, and not just the URL...

I'll be reporting back with any new findings.

Do you have an ssl certificate on your domain? I am not sure, but facebook have changed alot of things for developers where you now have to use ssl in order to integrate your site/app with facebook.

I think there is something wrong with the canonical tag in your html, because it still fetches some data but not all of it. In the old working cached copy, it was http://voinstyle.ca/. Its a shot in the dark, but try changing it back to 

<link rel="canonical" href="http://voinstyle.ca/" />
