I've noticed that Gantry doesn;t provide support for the most common properties picked up by social media sites, in particular Facebook.
Every time I fetch a page in the debugger I get:
Warnings That Should Be Fixed
Inferred Property The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The 'og:title' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The 'og:description' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Is this something that could be introduced in Gantry, templates or a plugin of sorts?
I'd love to have some native RT solution if that was something easy to implement.
Thank you,
F.

This is not a Gantry, template or RocketTheme issue. It occurs with other template providers and Wordpress sites. The best answer I could Google as to what causes this is:
Are those tags on ' www.mywebaddress.com '?
Bear in mind the linter will follow the og:url tag as this tag should point to the canonical URL of the piece of content - so if you have a page, e.g. ' mywebaddress.com/article1 ' with an og:url tag pointing to ' mywebaddress.com ', Facebook will go there and read the tags there also.
Failing that, the most common reason i've seen for seemingly correct tags not being detected by the linter is user-agent detection returning different content to Facebook's crawler than the content you're seeing when you manually check
