   I’m hoping someone might be able to help me. I am having real trouble sharing to Facebook (but only in my last 2 posts). When I share it does not show a title or an image.

   I went to Facbook Debugger and this is the result:

   This is my article:

   i tried the fixes above in Yoast – but it doesn’t help. Any ideas what I can do based on the feedback form Facebook? THANK YOU.

     If you are having weird issues like this, a lot of times it could be that multiple plugins OR the theme you are using are conflicting with each other in trying to establish og: (open graph) tags.

     I had a very similar issue and it was my theme. I had to disable it’s OG stuff and then yoast worked perfectly.

       I’m also having this issue, and use Yoast and WP. However, I think it is actually a Facebook issue; Facebook allows me to upload another photo to use, and I can use the second photo if I want to set up a post with carousel images, but I can’t deselect the auto-pulled photo and use only the uploaded photo. I have found that by manually adding in on yoast the specific photo I want used on facebook to the article itself, this works — but only this method works for me now. What a pain!

   So I just downloaded the Yoast plugin for a client and it looks like they have removed the open graph feature from their free plugin – which is a shame! You can add pictures on specific pages and posts, but you used to be able to add a specific image for the home page.

     Hi Chrissy,

     You can still do that. Please see our how to install and setup Yoast SEO plugin article. Check out Step 3, which shows how to enable advanced settings pages. After that, follow step 8 to add a specific image for the homepage.

   Oh thank you SO MUCH for this. I recently deactivated the “Publicize” setting in my Jetpack plugin because it was causing issues on the landing page for my newly-launched eBook (plus Publicize hadn’t been working properly for weeks, so I didn’t think I needed it). But then when I went to share my latest post today on Facebook I came up against this issue. I can only assume it’s because no more Publicize. But your Yoast tip worked perfectly for me. Thank you!

   Facebook doesn’t like small images. I think the minimum it will show automatically is 200 x 200 pixels but it prefers larger ones. This is a problem I regularly have because I usually use smaller pictures to keep load times down.

   This is a great article. Thank you so much. Tried various debugging methods to fix my image problems. Yoast SEO has been the only method that has worked.

   My issue is not really with facebook, or my site, but I myself. As I was developing my site and creating some test posts, I used one particular image as thumbnail, some are without feature image, in that case, it will take the one I used as default image in All In One SEO plugin. Now am done with production, Make some necessary changes on the image, but the firts one has already been registered on facebook cache that further sharing of those posts will call up the old image.
   I have been able to debug some posts and pages on facebook using debug tool, but the posts and pages are too much for me to be debuging them one by one.
   Is there a way I can debug the whole site at once?

    Facebook Thumb Fixer
    ultimate-social-media-plus
    mashsharer
    open-graph-protocol-framework
    wp-facebook-open-graph-protocol

      Hi Avishai,

      Try deactivating and deleting all plugins. Delete all themes and then download a fresh copy of Twenty Sixteen or Twenty Seventeen default theme. Upload the default theme to your site. Use Facebook developer tools to see if you are still getting the Japanese title and image.

      Thoroughly check your WordPress folders and files to see if there is any suspicious file.

    I’m having a problem I cant resolve. When I share my post to social media, the text all shows up with no problem but my thumbnail picture never shows up. I dont even get a wrong picture or a gray box where a picture should be. I only get the text. Ive tried adding open graph plugins, Ive tried debugging on facebook which grabs everything except the picture, Ive tried loading a picture into the SEO plugin to fall back on, Ive spent hours google searching for solutions. Everything on my sight appears to work fine except this one thing and nothing Ive tried works. Help!

    For the last three days I am having trouble with sharing my new posts on FB. The thumb image refuses to show up and I cannot figure out why – mostly because I am a newbie!. However, I am able to share older posts correctly eg and not the a new post
    Spent most of the last three days reading through all the existing information on this subject but I am yet to find a fix.

    Would appreciate any good suggestions to solve this. Thanks.

      For the last few days I have been unable to share my new posts on FB with the thumbnail image. However, I am able to share some of my older posts correctly. I have tried just about everything but there is no remedy. Any tips on what could be wrong? I am using the Yoast Plugin.

      Thanks.

    Just wanted to thank you guys for the excellent article. I’ve only encountered this problem fairly recently and couldn’t figure out why facebook was grabbing images from my sidebar instead of the WordPress featured image. What was really throwing me off was that some of my posts shared flawlessly to Facebook with the Featured Image while others did not.

    After reading THIS article, I learned that size indeed matters. At least to Facebook. I also learned that you could do other stuff with Yoast that I had never even knew existed before. Thanks guys!

    I have Yoast free version, and it wasn’t writing the og:image to my head, no matter what. I finally just created a new header.php in my child theme folder and hard-coded the meta tag there. Now it works okay when I go to the FB debugger tool.

    I just had to wonder why every place I looked on the web for why it wasn’t doing it, I couldn’t find an answer. Here in these comments is where I come closest to finding others with a similar problem. All I can think of is that a different plugin may be conflicting with Yoast. (I’m using the now-no-longer-supported-by-Facebook “Official Facebook Plugin for WordPress”, and I think that might be the one. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about GitHub to get any help from the people there who are working with this plugin.)

    Anyway, hard-coding it into the header.php was the answer for me. HTH

    • WPBeginner Support

      Since Facebook official plugin for WordPress is no longer supported, you should stop using it on your site. This could lead to potential security vulnerabilities.

    And also, yoast seo plugin has social sharing setting at the bottom of the post edit page. u can always overwrite what facebooks displays for your post inside of facebook. when OGP tags are set, u can always use yoast settings to show the image and description of your choice.

    just tried these options and all work…

    Hope this helps

    • Overwriting the image url doesn't work

      Thanks for the suggestion Shehzan but I have tried telling the plugin which image to grab by putting it’s url in the FB social tab box… doesn’t work. No one can get it to work no matter what we try. Frustrating/

      • shehzan

        Hello, can you provide your website’s url. I might be able to help you once i see the site. I had tried many a things and finally this method of deleting facebook’s cache with teh debuger tool and then implementing the yoast thing worked well for me. I hope to help you. and dont get frustrated. there is always a way. thanks and good luck

    hello guys,

    I encountered the same issue with the images on my site. however, i tried many a things and finally found the solution. i hope this works for you as it did for me.

    I have found the facebook’s cache keeps a copy of the tags and data it uses from your posts. if you are able to see a thumbnail of any of the images from your posts on facebook the way you want, you can try discarding your facebook cache for the url in question.

    One of my post was successfully posted on FB when i shared it, however, others had this issue and i did not get the best images to share on social media. sometimes the image was missing or the meta data was blank.

    i think it is mostly FB cache issue. you cantry installing the yoast seo plugin or some other pluggin which provides functionality of OGP tags. when this is done, simply test and try to share the post. if the thumbnails are missing, try to flush the FB cache utilizing this link – developers.facebook.com/tools/debug.

    once this is done, try hsaring once more. I am sure you would be successful. it took me around 4 hours to get to this point to get the job done.

    The key here is that at least one of the post’s image should work as expected. and set the image as featured. rest is all trial and error that will hopefully solve the problem.

    thanks. : )

    Is there a problem with my wordpress plugin, I use Yoast SEO plugin and Jetpack. Thank you for your help.

    Responder

34. Marge Burkell

    I use your site ALL the time to help understand and make my WP site better! So thanks for that!

    That said this is not working for me either! I think the problem is that my posts are very image heavy and WP is setting a lot of OG:Image tags in the post header?

    So I used Yoast SEO on my latest post to set the FB and Twitter images as suggested but it’s still picking up the incorrect pics from the post. Doing some research it seems others are saying that when there are a lot of OG:Images designated that this isn’t working. Grrrr.

    So I used the FB debug tool and it shows at the bottom of the page that it is going to show the CORRECT image BUT it’s still not doing that! Grrr…

    …so any ideas? I am finding that anywhere OGP is scraping for content this is happening, like in my Content Cards plugin! I can use that tool for including other sites into curated posts BUT it’s not working for my OWN posts because it is selecting the last (my signature) image instead of the first, title image of any post! I do NOT use featured images simply because I display text before my large image just before my more tag and that’s not an option with featured image. It’s also not an option in my theme to turn the featured image off. I have never found a way that I can use a featured image without it screwing up how my posts look listed on a page with a double image so I simply don’t use them. If you know of a workaround I would love to hear it!

    Thanks for all your help!
    Your website is the bomb!

    Hi thanks for the sharing… When I tried on the debug tool that you shared with us in the article,

    It came out with this message:
    The ‘og:type’ property is required, but not present.

    What does that mean? Does anyone have this issue?

    Thank you for your sharing once again. Appreciate that!

    Used FB Debugger. FB absolutely refuses to recognize the og:image from the meta information. I’ve been troubleshooting this for about 6 hours. I’ve tried editing code in the function.php and header.php with no luck, I’ve tried various plugins as well. Nothing works. When I use the FB Debugger, I get no errors, it sees all of the meta properties correctly, and builds the post with all of the parts EXCEPT the thumbnail image. Don’t know what else to do.

    This function kind of blew up for me when I switched from All-in-one-SEO to Yoast. I also use Super WP Cache and Cloudflare, but even after clearing all caches, I can get Facebook to recognize set as OG:image, but not display it. Very frustrating.

    Error: parsing input URL, no data cached, or no data was scraped

    Is this the FREE or the paid version of Wordpress SEO by Yoast. Because I do not have a SOCIAL tab.
