[Resolved] thumbnail of the article.

[Ghazi]

Hello guys

I am using a search template
I’m facing a small problem

When sharing an article on a social network, it does not appear or the link does not include the thumbnail of the article.

Is it possible to solve this point?

You need to install a SEO plugin to setup featured image for social media websites. after setting up the plugin, Make sure that you clear the page cache in WordPress.

Hi there,

which social network are you having the issue with ? As most of them will scrape the featured image if it’s available.

Twitter identification
Previously in my previous template before I moved to yours it was working very well
But when I moved to you I stopped

Do you have any solutions

Hi Ghazi,

I see. Stuff like these is usually controlled by SEO plugins. Perhaps your previous theme had this feature? However, usually, as mentioned it’s controlled by SEO plugins.

For instance, you can try a plugin like Yoast SEO. Reference: https://yoast.com/help/setting-up-twitter-cards-in-wordpress-seo/

Through SEO plugins like Yoast, you should be able to pick and show a thumbnail image of your preference when sharing in Facebook or Twitter.

I already use the Rank Math plugin
And it was working great, but when I changed my template to generatepress
The problem started with me?

Do you have any solutions?

Twitter will display the image if it can find the relevant meta tag in the head of your site.
And that meta would be added by RankMath.
I checked one of your posts and i see that the necessary meta tag has been added.
See here:

The Theme has no control over this, we don’t add meta or interfere with the meta, its 100% RankMath, if the image is not displaying then it would be best to check with RankMath.
