Wordfence blocking Facebook Crawler | WordPress.org

Unfortunately, I have to join the previous forum as well because I have a problem, and Facebook’s crawler is not allowing me either. I tried to use the Sharing Debugger, but I received this error:

Image Unavailable

Error while downloading https://krajskagaleria.sk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/facebook-og-image.jpg with HTTP response code: 503

The solutions mentioned in the forum did not help, so please help me resolve this issue. I have sent the necessary data to [email protected] via the Diagnostic section.

I believe this is the issue because when I completely disable Wordfence, the image loads properly. So it seems that Wordfence is blocking it. I also enabled Learning Mode, but that did not help either.

Hi @honlapdavid

On the Tools >> Live Traffic page you can use the precise advanced filter below:

User Agent contains facebook

The look for any blocking for Facebooks’s User Agent’s with a block reason in red:
