og:image Content; Open Graph Protocol Not Grabbing Correct One
-
I believe that Yoast SEO is generating my website’s meta data.
i.e. https://margeburkell.com/low-carb-thanksgiving-recipes-2015/
PAGE SOURCE FOR THIS POST: view-source:https://margeburkell.com/low-carb-thanksgiving-recipes-2015/
I have been having problems with a Content Cards WordPress plugin that works with OGP and was trying to figure out why it wasn’t grabbing the (as listed it the list below) the first, main image from my posts, but rather the last image that is nothing but my signature image.
AND when I share this post on Facebook it again does not grab the correct image at all, but rather is grabbing the mushroom, pickle, and other images that I do not want nor need to represent the article on social media.
I have gone into the Yoast SEO area on the backend of this post and specifically entered the https://margeburkell.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Low-Carb-Thanksgiving-Recipes.jpg URL for both Facebook and Twitter in the Social tab (see below) but if you enter the post’s URL into Facebook it still will not grag the correct image.
Many of my posts are very image heavy. This one has approximately 5 dozen plus. Why it selects which images to throw into the meta description is beyond me or my expertise so I am asking you…
Can you please tell me how I might fix this or at the very least how I can manually (or via code) edit the og:image in the meta description of this and any posts so that it is relaying the correct information to Facebook and to the Content-Cards WordPress plugin?Thanks for your help!
