  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the featured image not displaying when sharing your website link on Facebook or Viber. Thank you for providing the URL and the screenshot of the error.

    Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Check Open Graph Image Settings

    Make sure you have added the Open Graph image in the Rank Math Meta Box for your page. You can refer to this guide on how to add social meta: Social Meta using Rank Math.

    2. Verify Image Dimensions & Format

    Ensure that the image you are using meets the recommended dimensions of 1200px X 630px and is in a supported format (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, or AVIF). If the image dimensions are too small or too large, Facebook may not display it correctly.

    3. Check URL Accessibility

    You should verify if your page URL and Open Graph image URL are accessible. You can use this URL checker to check if your URLs return a status code HTTP 200. If there are any errors like a 403 Forbidden error, that could prevent Facebook from accessing your content.

    4. Inspect Page Source

    Right-click on your page and select View Page Source. Look for the og:image tag in the source code. If it’s missing, Rank Math might not be able to print your social tags correctly. You can follow this troubleshooting guide to identify any potential conflicts with other plugins or themes.

    5. Scraping Again

    After making any changes, you can try scraping your URL again using the Facebook Sharing Debugger: Facebook Sharing Debugger. This tool will help you see how Facebook reads your page and can also clear its cache for your URL.

    If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, we recommend replying to this ticket so a human agent from our support team can assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to help you resolve it soon!

    Hello,

    It seems that you’re using geo-blocking or have blocked some countries from accessing your site, as it is currently not available when we checked it.

    However, please add the following rule to your site’s robots.txt file:

    User-agent: facebookexternalhit
    Allow: /
    

    Here is how to edit your site’s robots.txt file with Rank Math:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-edit-robots-txt-with-rank-math/

    Once done, clear the site’s cache and check again. If the issue persists, check with your host and make sure that there is nothing on the server that is blocking Facebook’s crawler from crawling the site.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hey! I wasn’t able to put the code in the website because RankMath is not allowing me to edit the robots.txt file. But on its own part of the problem is solved – when i share the link on Facebook there is an image visualization.
    But when I share it on Viber or Messenger there is still no image.

    Hello,

    If you’re unable to edit your robots.txt through Rank Math, then you must have a static robots.txt in your website root directory.

    You can update it from there via cPanel or file manager from your hosting.

    Also, you should run the URL using the Facebook debugger tool to clear its cache:
    https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

    Looking forward to helping you.

    HEy! I did that – now when shared the URL on Facebook there is an image, But when I share it on Viber or Messenger there is still no image.

    Hello,

    Regarding Viber/Messenger, please try to clear your app cache from your device and check again.

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Ok! I will trq and let you know what happened!
