G Sharing issue! Doesnt appear like most websites do

  • Hello

    My wordpress site doesnt appear like other sites do on G+ when any link from my websites is shared (it used to when I first made the site, but thats long time ago)
    Even the image is not relevant, and the description is missing.

    I am using SEO Yoast premium 2.3.5 (I have even tried to disable my plugin and empty cache, that didn’t help)

    For e.g, when I share my link: Siri & Google Now Can Be Hacked From 16 Feet Away

    I appears like: https://i.imgur.com/B0c6MGe.png

    whereas it should appear like (it does on FB, and like other sites appear on G+ etc): https://i.imgur.com/yVV3I3K.png

    Any ideas on what could be wrong? I have even verified my site on G+ but that didnt help

    Update: I removed the Yoast SEO plugin and installed the All in One SEO plugin.. did the settings, cleared cache.. SAME PROBLEM

    When I debug my link, I can see that image etc are mentioned according to the open graph format here https://developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/article-rendering (google plus official guide) BUT they still dont come out properly ?? ??

    Arrghh , someone pls help me!
    thanks

    I have this in my link..

    <meta itemprop=”image” content=”link of image here”/>
    (hav the actual link, not the words ‘link of image here)

    still google doesnt show the image

    Do you ask google to re-crawl your URLs ?. Google’s process of indexing your site, and subsequently displaying it in search results, is automated. It can sometimes take months before your site is listed or before any changes you make are reflected in your search results. You can not directly define when Google’s indexing takes place and what rank they assign your pages, however you can prompt them to re-index via Google’s Webmaster Tools.

    thanks +zota marius! havent tried that. will do. (thought even for new posts, problem is the same, so I doubt re crawling would solve the issue), still worth a try!

    Asked google to recrawl.. has been 1 day, still same issue ??

    try with open Open Graph properties for the title, image, and description.
    in your head section :

    <meta property="og:title" content="..." />
<meta property="og:image" content="..." />
<meta property="og:description" content="..." />
