LinkedIn Social Media tags do not work - Support

Rank Math free

I added RankMaths social media tags and those work when I share a link in Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp but not in LinkedIn.

In my page (https://www.combinant.be/) I do see the meta tag in the page source:

<meta property=”og:image” content=”https://www.combinant.be/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/combinant-social-jpg.webp” />

But apparently LinkedIn needs yet another meta tag?
See https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect/https:%2F%2Fwww.combinant.be
Click on “No image found”
It says LinkedIn is looking for something like:

<meta name=”image” property=”og:image” content=”[Image URL here]”>

But the one RankMath adds does not contain the ‘name=”image”‘ attribute.
Could that be the issue?

Can this be fixed?

Thanks,

Jan.

Hello,

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

LinkedIn uses the image from your og:image property but seems like the issue is occurring because you’re using the image in webP format. Please note that LinkedIn still does some issues with the webP image format whereas other platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, and Twitter now support webP image format. For reference, you can check the following quick comparison table of which image file formats are supported by different OGP-consuming platforms and apps.

In order to resolve the issue, you can use the image file format for your Open Graph image between jpeg, gif, or png.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.

Hi,

It is working!

I was using the WordPress optimizer which converts all jpeg to webp on upload.
Turn it of temporarily, uploaded the jpegs, replaced the social image and it worked 🙂

Thanks,

Jan.
