Featured Image Issue on LinkedIn

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with the featured image not being visible on LinkedIn after the Rank Math update. This can be quite frustrating, and I understand the urgency in resolving this matter.

To ensure that the Open Graph image is set up correctly for your posts and pages, you can follow these steps:

1. Set the Default Open Graph Image Using Rank Math:

   • Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math → Titles & Meta → Global → OpenGraph Thumbnail.
   • Click on the Add or Upload File button and set your image. Finally, click on Save Changes.

2. Set Open Graph Image for Homepage Using Rank Math:

   • If you need to set a specific Open Graph image for your homepage, you can configure it through Rank Math as well.

3. Configure Facebook App ID in Rank Math:

   • Ensure that your Facebook App ID is correctly configured in Rank Math.

If you’ve already followed these steps and are still encountering issues, it’s best to reach out to the Rank Math support team for further assistance. You can open a support ticket here. They will be able to provide more specific guidance based on your website’s configuration.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please feel free to let us know.

Hello,

I’ve checked the post inspector, and it seems that LinkedIn is not using the og:image meta tag on your site. You can check the page’s source code that Rank Math already outputs the metadata correctly.

In this case, please note that LinkedIn prioritizes the oEmbed code instead of the OpenGraph meta tags

For a workaround, you can add this in the last line of your active child/theme’s functions.php file, and this will remove links on your site:

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_oembed_add_discovery_links', 10 );

Please take a complete backup of your website before applying any filter on your site.

Once done, clear your website’s cache and check again using the inspector tool.

Let us know how this goes.

Hello,

The oembed code from your screenshot is currently commented. Please remove the forward slashes (//) and clear your website caches.

See if that would work.

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

Hello,

To help you investigate this issue, we might need to take a closer look at your website and settings. Please follow these steps:

• Edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress logins in the Sensitive Data section. This is a secure section that only our support staff can access.

We appreciate your cooperation and patience. Thank you for choosing Rank Math.

Hello,

For further troubleshooting please deactivate all your minification settings temporarily (HTML, CSS & JS), clear your site/server cache, and then try to check for the thumbnail in the post inspector again.

Let us know how this goes. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.

Thank you.

Hello,

Our plugin is adding the correct OpenGraph tags. However, LinkedIn is not able to fetch value for the OG Image tag for your site. I even checked with Yoast, and the results are the same. You should check with LinkedIn’s support, as they might be able to provide more insights on why they cannot fetch the image even when the OG Image tag is already present.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
