FB image doesn’t work

    Hey guys,

    I’ve been testing this for a good while but it doesn’t seem to work at all.

    The “Facebook Image” under [Social] – whatever image I add, it does not show on Facebook cards. I tried the suggested image size, and used Facebook Debug tool, different posts, clearing cache, etc. for about 3 weeks now with new articles and pages. Every single time, the Featured Image is what’s pulled for the FB card. The Facebook Image I upload in the plugin does not override that.

    How can I make this work?

    Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

    Could you please provide a URL of the page you are experiencing this issue on so that we can review the source code for any issues?

    Hi @devnihil

    Sure!

    Links to post and FB image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6fipy54sxbi7xbh/yoast-links.txt?dl=0

    (Sorry, don’t want to share the actual URL here on WP.org as it doesn’t allow to edit posts after a while to remove the URL)

    As you can see, the FB image is different to the Featured image. I’ve uploaded it and added in Yoast under [Social] for FB, cleared cache, tried FB Debug Tool and scraped several times, but no dice.

    @deanysus The image you add to the Yoast SEO → Social → Default settings field will be shown only when you don’t have any image (even the featured image) on your posts or pages.

    So, if you are wanting to set an image for posts or pages, you’ll need to either set it from the posts or pages level under the Yoast SEO meta box or the default featured image will be used. Please, refer to our this knowledge base article which shows exactly how to go about doing this.

    Hi @mazedulislamkhan

    So basically, that FB image added there will NOT override the Featured Image, correct?

    Hello @deanysus

    There’s a hierarchy of what image will be used when you share it on Facebook. You are correct. If there is a featured image in the post, it will take priority over the default image that is set in SEO > Social > Facebook.
