OG:IMAGE contains http link instead of https one

    Hi there
    I noticed that the og:image meta tag contains an insecure http link instead of the correct https url.

    Because of that, when I share my articles on WhatsApp, the image is not displayed. I forced the url to be https (adding a line in the code, but I’m gonna miss it on next update).

    What can I look for? The same version (the very latest one) of the plugin works fine in another site.

    Thanks

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hey @koolmind,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    We understand that your og:image output links the image file over HTTP, while your site is configured under HTTPS. Let’s see what’s on.

    Does this issue occur only for a specific post/page or on all of your pages on the site? Does the image you’ve selected in the media library list the media source URL to HTTPS?

    Have you recently migrated the site from HTTP to HTTPS? It might just be that not everything has been changed to HTTPS. If however, all media file URLs show HTTPS, and our output is still HTTP, then things are off.

    In that case, I’d suggest trying the following.

    1. Install & activate the?Yoast Test Helper plugin
    2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
    3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation’, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful. Note: Resetting the optimization doesn’t undo any of the hard work you’ve put into the plugin as the SEO data is also stored in WordPress’ default tables. It’ll just reset the custom Yoast tables that contain the combined data pulled from those default tables.
    4. Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your?content.
    5. After completion, check our og:image output and check whether it’s now correctly showing HTTPS.

    @jeroenrotty Thank you. Now the problem seems solved. I’m still wondering why the media on muy site are actually addressed by http protocol. I’m investigating that with my service provider.
