PHP/Wordpress help needed with meta data in header.php
I'm having problems with php5.6 and wordpress 4.3. I want to have my facebook and twitter descriptions to be automated via php.
THe issue is twitter:image and facebook og:image is broken when php the post thumbnail is invoked. I manually choose a thumbnail that's most relevant to an article.
Here's the relevant header code:

Relevant part's output code with my note there marked from firefox's source inspection:
http://pastebin.com/adTjih9j
The thumbnail function is enabled in the wp theme function.php file and thumbnails work nicely on related posts and category and tag pages.
But I just can't get this working.
Twitter validator don't work so facebook scraper won't work either.
Thank you!
I should have added I used https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail and neither of these worked.

the_post_thumbnail()is meant to be used for generating HTML IMG tags, in other words it's an all-inclusive function to get and render the image when viewed in a browser.You probably just want the image source (URL path to the file). You should look at the source code for
get_the_post_thumbnail()and then based on that usewp_get_attachment_image_src()to get just the URL.If that works, I'll marry a pretty neighbour of yours!
