Blog2Social setting incorrect og:image URL for Facebook

[airsidelife]

Hi,

I'm currently trialing Blog2Social and I'm continuing to have a problem when attempting to share posts on our Facebook page.

Here's a sample URL with this issue - https://www.airsidelife.com/delta-mq...major-changes/

My workflow is pretty simple -

1. Go to All Posts in Blog2Social post management
2. Select a post I wish to share
3. Click on "Share on Social Media"

The page loads my 2 social media options, Facebook and Twitter.

Twitter displays correctly, but Facebook briefly shows my featured image and then changes to a camera icon.



When inspecting the open graph data that has been inserted by Blog2Social, I see -

<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.airsidelife.com/wp-content/plugins/blog2social/assets/images/no-image.png" /> rather than the URL to my featured image.

The featured image URL should be - https://cdn.airsidelife.com/wp-conte...200-at-BNA.jpg

This is confirmed when I debug this via the Facebook developer tools -

<meta property="og:title" content="Delta MQD Updates for 2024 (Major Changes)">
<meta property="og:description" content="Delta hasn’t made any major changes to its elite Medallion program since 2015. However, that’s about to end for the 2024 qualification year, with significant increases in Delta MQD, the Medallion Qualifying Dollar requirement to maintain a status level.">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.airsidelife.com/delta-mqd-updates-for-2024-major-changes/">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.airsidelife.com/wp-content/plugins/blog2social/assets/images/no-image.png">

I'm at a loss right now, since I don't know why Blog2Socal is inserting an incorrect og:image URL.

I'm almost to the point where I might have to disable the Blog2Socal Meta tags, and use Yoast's, but I'm aware I'll lose a lot of Blog2Socal features if I have to go down that path.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Simon

Hello Simon,

Thank you so much for reaching out and thanks for describing your request.

I checked the website URL you provided, and I think there is a misunderstanding.
Blog2Social does not seem to implement Open Graph settings into your website source code.

You can verify this here:


It looks like your Open Graph settings are set by the external plugin “Yoast SEO”.

If you still face issues while sharing content having the OG tags defined in external plugins you can deactivate them and use the options for this in the Blog2Social settings.
Section: Blog2Social -> Settings -> Social Meta Data

The following step-by-step guide will show you how to use Open Graph settings in Blog2Social:

What are Twitter Cards?
What are open graph tags and what do I use them for?

Make sure to avoid that you are using multiple plugins that implement OG tags / Twitter Cards within your website source code.
Duplicated OG tags / Twitter Cards can cause that the wrong title image or description is shared on social media.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Best regards
Alexander

Hey Alexander,

Thanks for taking a look. I did find that I still had Twitter cards enabled for Yoast, but not OG tags.

Let me do some more testing over the weekend.

Thanks for your help.
