I have rails app. I added og tags for Facebook, google +, and Vkontakte. And I need to add possibility to share to LinkedIn too. But I don't understand why LinkedIn don't pick my OG tags.

My html:

= tag :meta, property: 'og:url', content: 'https://myapp.com/app'
= tag :meta, property: 'og:title', content: 'MyApp'
= tag :meta, property: 'og:description', content: 'You can always find a my app !'
= tag :meta, property: 'og:image', content: "https://myapp.com#{image_path('backgrounds/desk.jpg')}"

And facebook, g+, vk works perfectly, but linked in don't fetch any information from my website.

Any advise?

I had the same problem: everything worked except for LinkedIn on our https-only website. The problem was that ServerName and ServerAlias were not set in the Apache config file (default-ssl in our case).

You can use the Twitter card validator to check your SSL-settings (https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator), if this throws an error adjust your Apache config.

You find additional information here: SSL handshake alert: unrecognized_name error since upgrade to Java 1.7.0

Interesting! You made your post on March 10, 2017. Support for og: tags at LinkedIn was only officially added and released on March 23, 2017; the feature just 13 days away!

The following formats are now all supported...

  • <meta property='og:title' content='Title of the article"/>
  • <meta property='og:image' content='//media.example.com/ 1234567.jpg"/>
  • <meta property='og:description' content='Description that will show in the preview"/>
  • <meta property='og:url' content='//www.example.com/URL of the article" />

Works great for me:

If you want to verify that you have the tags in place correctly in your <head> block of HTML, try testing the page you're sharing at LinkedIn Post Inspector.
