Hi everyone! I’m receiving this error on meta:

The following required properties are missing: fb:app_id

I plugged this code into my theme, but nothing’s happening.

(with my app ID inserted in the correct place)

I’m wondering if anyone knows how to fix this or how crucial it is to my site. Is is worth the fix or can I leave it as is?

Hello there,

You just need to make sure the code you added is within the tag of your theme.
