# Google is using the wrong post image

 * I found that when sharing a link on google+, the featured image displayed is 
   wrong; in fact in this case it’s showed the image used as main image of the theme.
 * I solved this issue setting the following metatag:
 *     ```
       <?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
       <?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
       <meta itemprop="image" content="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>">
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Hope this could help someone.

 * Where do you paste this metatag?

 * This forum is for Ryu-specific theme issues, and I see you’ve already posted 
   in the Yoast SEO plugin forum:

 * I’ll leave this thread open in case the OP is around and can chime in about where
   he added this code.
