Facebook thumbs when sharing

Hi I recently installed phoca gallery to replace ignite gallery.

when I share a url from my website to facebook, facebook would usually pick up all the images on that page and ask me which one I would like to include in the post. Facebook is not seeing any of the images on my website from phoca gallery. I tried the fb lint tool and its giving me this error but I can't say if it's related to phoca gallery or something else.
Object Invalid Value: Object at URL 'http://www.my domain name.com/' of type 'website' is invalid because the given value '' for property 'fb:app_id' could not be parsed as type 'fbid'.
Would anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

The only other thing I can think of using fb on my site is social login via the extension LoginRadius.

Hi, no experiences with the error, but in Phoca Gallery, you can use "no popup" method, which means, the detail image will be not displayed in popup or modal window but on own site, where you can e.g. linkt the facebook. :idea:

for adding different tags for facebook on your page, try to check these plugins:

:idea:
