    Rank Math free

    Hello, i was using Yoast Seo Pro always before, but i read that Rank Math is Better. I install Rank math and migrate all the data from Yoast Seo.

    The problem is for Product Images. With Yoast i can set an image in the Social section. it worked great.

    Rank Math also has the Social section, but when i add the picture to the product, this picture is not pulled from there when i share the product link by whatsapp. It worked very well with Yoast Seo, i search the image in my media library, choose the product image, and this image was pulled when i share the product link by whatsapp and other sharing option.

    With Rank Math, it does not matter what image i set in Social Section, still shows the wrong image.

    IS there a way to fix That? i really like Rank Math so far, i dont want to go back to Yoast Seo, I hope this can be fixed.

    Thank you in advance.

    Roy

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please make sure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math Free and Rank Math Pro. Refer to our changelog page here: https://rankmath.com/changelog/.

    Could you also share the affected URL with us so we can check it from our end?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    We have the latest Rank Math Version 1.0.57.1 .

    Our site is https://machoaccesorios.com/

    when we share any product link on whatsapp, it shows the wrong product image thumbnail even if i set an image in the Social Section for this product.

    I hope you can help me.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Can I check, are you using any caching plugin or behind Cloudflare? This could be causing an issue.

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure, and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have added a temporary login in the sensitive data.

    I have disable the wprocket and set a imagen for a product in the social section of Rank Math, share by whatsapp, still shows the wrong image. I think the image option of Social Section in rank Math is not working.

    Please Check the image below, it should be showing the Featured image of the product i added in social section (Front of the watch), but it shows the wrong image (Box of the watch)

    Thank you very much in advance for your great support.

    Hello,

    Thank you for following up.

    I’ve checked the affected URL, and it seems that the Open Graph (og:image) is already set showing the image of the front of the watch. You can also check in Facebook Debugger Tool.

    Could you please check the image size if it is under 300kb? WhatsApp and LinkedIn are really “special” for that kind of thing and they may fail to load images greater than 300kb. If it’s bigger than that please use a smaller one. The recommended image resolution should be also 1200 x 630 px to appear on WhatsApp.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.

    Hello,

    I think the issue is from Rank Math.

    I set the Image for a new product in Social Section in Rank Math, still shows the wrong image thumbnail when sharing on whatsapp.

    https://ibb.co/hDwWQWJ

    Then, I deactivate Rank Math and Activate Yoast Seo

    I set the SAME Image for a new product in Social Section in YOAST SEO, the image thumbnail when sharing on whatsapp now IS CORRECT

    https://ibb.co/bsskc0s

    For Both Plugins the selected image was the same, 70kb 1000x1000px.
    For this new product i’ve check in the Fcebook debug, the image is correct. Only shows incorrect image when the Image is set with Rank Math.

    https://ibb.co/RYrYK2F

    I think rank math is the problem. Is is sad, because i like Rank Math so far. We sell a lot of products by Whatsapp so it is important for us to share product links with the correct thumbnail.

    i hope you can Fix this issue in the Future, for now we are back to Yoast Seo

    Thank you for your help.

    have a nice day.

    Hello,

    I’ve tried to check your site using the provided login link but it seems to be invalid/expired.

    Could you kindly check and update so we could help you check further?

    I’ve also checked your product URL again but I noticed that the meta tags are now generated by Yoast.

    If you’d like to give Rank Math another try do let us know and we will help you troubleshoot further.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the temporary login so you can check.

    Rank Math is deactivated now. You can set an imagen for any product on Yoast Seo Social Section and share the link on whatsapp, you will see the correct image.

    Then you can deactivate Yoast Seo and activate Rank Math, Set image in social Section, share the link on whatsapp, you will se the incorrect thumbnail.

    I hope you can Fix it this time.

    Regards

    Hello,

    Thank you for the updated details.

    I’ve tested this again with Rank Math activated then shared this on Whatsapp and I was able to see the correct images shown in the share preview.

    Please see the screencast in the sensitive data section.

    For now, I’ve deactivated back Rank Math and re-enabled both Yoast plugins for you.
    You can re-enable it back if you decided to use our plugin again.

    I hope that helps, let us know if you need further help with anything else.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your help, i dont know how you set the image for this product, it is the only product with the image correct, i have tried with another products, still have the same issue, the picture set in Social Section is not shown when i share the link on whatsapp.

    Please check the video i recorded (added to sensitive data)

    I have selected 2 products without image in social section.
    First with Rank Math i set the image and share the link on whatsapp, Shows Wrong image
    Then…
    Deactivate Rank Math, Install Yoast Seo, set the image to another product. Share the link on whatsapp, CORRECT IMAGE.

    This test Products never been Seo Optimized before, Both Image Products are 100kb aprox, 1000x1000px. Still different results.
