[Resolved] My home page won’t show featured image in thumbnail when sharing.

[Kerry]

Hello, I apologize in advance, but I’ve searched high and low for a solution. My website http://www.corksandtacos.com doesn’t show the correct image (the feature image) when I share my site. All of my other pages show the correct featured image when shared. My home page is a hero block with a background image and then a transparent logo image over top of that. When I share my site, just the transparent logo is shared, not the featured image. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kerry,

It looks like you are using Yoast SEO, and I can see the image is selected in the settings of Yoast SEO.

I tried to share your link in Slack, and the featured image shows correctly:

Try clear all cache on your devices, it might help.

If it still doesn’t work, I would recommend reaching out to Yoast SEO plugin’s support.

Thank you for this! I will clear all cheche on all devices and see where that takes me. I appreciate your time.

No Problem 🙂

Ok, so it wasn’t Yoast. Long story short, had been directed to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ Shared my URL in question and followed the simple steps to ‘Scrape Again” and now the feature image appears when I share.

Included the link here so as others may find it useful should they come across the same problems.
