Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with the link preview not showing when sharing your article links on social media, including WhatsApp. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
-
Check Open Graph Image Settings: Ensure that you have set the Open Graph image for your posts. You can do this by going to the Rank Math Meta Box for each post and adding a featured image or setting a custom Open Graph image in the Social tab.
-
Image Dimensions & Format: Make sure that the images you are using meet the recommended dimensions of 1200px X 630px and are in a supported format (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP). If the image dimensions are too small or too large, social networks may not display them correctly.
-
URL Accessibility: Check if your page URL and Open Graph image URL are accessible. You can use a URL checker like httpstatus.io to verify that your URLs return a status code of HTTP 200.
-
Check Page Source: Right-click on your page and select "View Page Source" to check if the
og:imagetag is present in the source code. If it’s missing, Rank Math may not be configured correctly or may be conflicting with another plugin.
-
Troubleshoot Conflicts: If you suspect a conflict with other plugins or your theme, follow our troubleshooting guide to identify any issues.
If you’ve checked all these points and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with any additional details, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Thank you.Hello,
We tried using a different device, and the link preview for the links you shared is still working fine.
Meanwhile, please try clearing your app’s cache and sharing the link again. You should also make sure that the link previews are not disabled in the app’s settings: https://faq.whatsapp.com/445453537819972/?cms_platform=android&helpref=platform_switcher
Another thing that can affect the generation of preview image is where a minification/cache plugin is inputting too much inline CSS into your page source that your Open Graph tags may be pushed way too far down your page’s source code.
Here’s a guide you can follow:
