frontpage image is not what i want

correction, the default image only works for pages and posts, and not the home page

I have the same problem.
This happens with themes that don’t have a static home page, but a dynamic one, and require to set “your latest post” in “Setting / Reading” wordpress Settings.
It’s very annoying to see new features that always create problems… please at least give the possibility to disables all these new “features”…

@samuraisatoshi

You can fix this (at least until they fix it on some next updates) modifing this core file

/wordpress-seo/frontend/class-opengraph-image.php

go to

/**
* Sets the images based on the page type.
*
* @return void
*/
private function set_images() {
/**
* Filter: wpseo_add_opengraph_images - Allow developers to add images to the OpenGraph tags.
*
* @api WPSEO_OpenGraph_Image The current object.
*/
do_action( 'wpseo_add_opengraph_images', $this );
switch ( true ) {
case is_front_page():
$this->set_front_page_image();
break;

and change to this

/**
* Sets the images based on the page type.
*
* @return void
*/
private function set_images() {
/**
* Filter: wpseo_add_opengraph_images - Allow developers to add images to the OpenGraph tags.
*
* @api WPSEO_OpenGraph_Image The current object.
*/
do_action( 'wpseo_add_opengraph_images', $this );
switch ( true ) {
case is_front_page():
// $this->set_front_page_image();
break;

Hi @mulkitpin,

Please send us a screenshot of Social → Social → Facebook page. We are interested in comparing the values you have set there for the frontpage to the ones we can found in the source of the homepage.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

The thing is quite simple.
With theme with “your latest post” set for front page, the facebook og became the latest post’s one in home page.
If i disable the “is_front_page()” statement in your code, the og became the default one set in Social → Social → Facebook page – default setting.

With my theme (Helm) i don’t have a “real” homepage page, but it’s dinamically created by theme.
So Yoast SEO create the og meta with “your latest post” instead of “is_front_page” … or better “is_front_page” works as “your latest post”… and the “is_front_page” setting in social-facebook yoast section doesn’t work.
