UPDATE:
I tried emptying the caches as was suggested, and the problem did not go away – wrong image was still posted to Facebook for my Home page.
I also tried re-creating my home from scratch, and that didn’t work either. The same Home page image was posted correctly from a page that was not designated as my home page, but the incorrect image was posted as soon as that same page was designated at my home page.In the end, the only I’ve found to fix this problem, was to deactivate AIOSEO, and use SEO framework instead – the correct image was posted to Facebook the first try using SEO Framework, from the identical home that AIOSEO failed to post the correct image from. It was easy to migrate all my SEO settings to SEO Framework using the plugin “SEO Data Transporter” with no losses.
My thanks to those of you who provided helpful suggestions.
Thanks Sybre,
I’ll give that a try. I look forward to the plug-in update with the patch.
Regards
Thanks for your help.
Now I’ve found there are several other places where this problem is also happening, even though I’ve uploaded the correct image, it is being ignored. Here’s an example: https://newnotes.com/2019/04/30/newnotes-releases-i-am-here-by-julie-neway/
I apologize Michael, I did not mean to come across as argumentative or rude. Being a neophyte at this, I sometimes struggle with terminology and error messages that seem unhelpful. I set up the alternate thread before your second response, as it seemed like my question was not answered and I thought that marking my issue as “Resolved” would shut down all further input – I was evidently wrong about that. I will delete the alternate thread if I can.
Thanks very much Tony, I really appreciate your help. Being a neophyte at this, I sometimes struggle with terminology and error messages that seem unhelpful. I’m learning as I go. I will try dumping the cache, and see if that solves the problem. Thanks again.
Hi Michael: I would appreciate hearing from you about how to solve this problem. The test I described in my last post (see above) seems to indicate that it’s not a faulty URL or image that is the problem.

I have now replaced the image with this one: https://newnotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/20190320_NewNotes-Website-FB-Image_4.jpg which does not “404 at the browser”, and I’m still getting the same “invalid content type” error in the debugger.
Please forgive my ignorance Michael, but I did not know that “invalid content type”, “invalid image” and “”404’s at the browser” all mean the same thing. As I said in my reply to your last response, there is a valid image at that URL because AIOSEO has used that same image at that same URL for FB posts of other pages, when I’ve tested it in the manner.
I don’t know who marked this topic as “Resolved” but it is NOT resolved.
The error I’m getting from the debugger is: “Provided og:image URL, http://XXX.jpg could not be processed as an image because it has an invalid content type.”
This error makes no sense to me, because the file is an ordinary .jpg like any of the others AIOSEO is using correct for my other web pages. In fact the image it has chosen to substitute is exactly the same content type as the one it’s rejected
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this problem?
Thanks Michael. But I don’t understand why it’s an “invalid” image. It’s a .jpg like any other, no? I’ve used it on other pages from the same ULR in my Media library as a test, and it posted to FB correctly.
I am heavily invested in the WordPress theme I’m currently using (Wayfarer), and I need an MP3 player that works and shows play counts.
Hi marcelgross. Unfortunately, I was not able to the problem fixed and the developer (Sonaar), seems like he might not be willing to certify his pll-in for the latest version of WP.
Perhaps you could add your thoughts to this public ticket that I started on the Sonaar support page (https://sonaar.ticksy.com/ticket/1910289/).
Regards
🙂
Good idea, but I expect the Theme developer will tell me the problem is caused by MP3 Player not being certified for WP 5.1, just like WP told me. But if I can show that MP3 Player works on another theme, then perhaps the Wayfarer developer will listen.
But I hate to take down my website (see; http://www.newnotes.com) and risk losing my content and conflagrations so I can test a different theme.
Yes, I did purchase the Wayfarer theme. I have not tried another theme. So far, WP has been telling me it’s an MP3 Player problem because Sonaar has not certified their plugin for WP 5.1, and it’s not possible to use a down-revved version of WP. I will try another theme just to see.
