Hi,

When I post a link from my blog (workreadplay.com) on Google+ it automatically posts a headshot from the bottom of my blog rather than my featured image.

You can test this using this URL: http://workreadplay.com/want-secure-wordpress-5-proven-methods/

I’ve enabled “Add Google+ specific post meta data (excluding author metadata)”

Is this a Yoast issue?

Thanks for the help.

Same issue here. Until last week Google+ just used the featured image, now it uses my face or the theme background. Curious about a solution.

I think this has something to do with how WordPress SEO is implementing Open Graph image tags now. Every single image featured in a post now has an og:image tag in the <head> section.

I just tried posting to Google+ and I can’t select the Featured Image because there are too many og:image tags and G+ wont allow me to select from all of them.

@sdavecl thanks for the info. Do you know a solution for this?

This post describes how to strip all but the featured image og:image tag of the post from the <head>:

http://webgilde.com/en/wordpress-seo-facebook-image-open-graph/

Takes a snippet of code added to your theme’s functions.php to do it.

The exact snippet I added was this:
```
add_filter('wpseo_pre_analysis_post_content', 'mysite_opengraph_content');
function mysite_opengraph_content($val) {
return preg_replace("/<img[^>]+>/i", "", $val);
}
```
