I am using the standard Feed Dialog of Facebook to share posts on my website. The problem with this one is that I can't get it working because of problems with the redirect_uri. That's very weird, because I own the app, the App ID is correct and the URL is correct... What might be the problem here? The error I get is: Requires valid redirect URI.

This is the code I am using:

<a href=https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=9999999999999&link=http://hereismylink.com/todays/&picture=http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg&name=%TITLE%&caption=testing1234&description=blablabla&redirect_uri=http://hereismylink.com>Share on Face</a>

PS: the redirect_uri and app_id are dummy text, normally, they are the correct numbers and letters on my site. I don't want to advertise here.

FYI: sandbox mode is turned off

I solved it by stating the url of my page in the app domain. It is too bad that the Facebook documentation lacks this kind of information, because it is essential to get it to work. Anyway, thanks lgy for giving me the link.
