    Rank Math free

    Recently i setup a wordpress website https://thejurist.ca. Everything is going good except that the images in posts do not show up on the homepage, neither when shared on social media websites like faceboook, whatsapp etc. Surprisingly the images are showing up on x.com

    I tried different plugins to fix the issue as i saw on youtube. finaly i changed the theme too, but i observed that images are not even showing up on the homepage too.

    Rank Math Seo plugin shows the desired look of the shared link on facebook. However facebook sharing debugger shows error: Bad Response Code – URL returned a bad HTTP response code.

    the steps have been taken already, but the sharing issue still persists.

    I want to let you know that facebook sharing debugger shows error: Bad Response Code โ€“ URL returned a bad HTTP response code.

    Hello,

    We checked the website URL you shared and can see that the open graph meta is set up correctly as shown below:

    Facebook sharing debugger shows that the URL returned a bad HTTP response code. Specifically the 418 response code. You can refer to this article to learn about the 418 code: https://sitechecker.pro/what-is-418-status-code/

    As this issue is from the server you will need to share this with your host provider.

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

    Thank you.

    thank you so much. I am really stuck.
    I just now changed the theme, and the worst thing is that the images are not even showing on the homepage also.
    Facebook 418 is definitely another alien issue for me.

    Please look into the website now (I do not want to bombard the forum with my links, so please find the link in first post).
    the images do appear on post pages, but not on homepage, even though header logo do appears.

    If you can help me with this issue, I would definitely love to get the pro version, as you guys are helping a free plan customer, I can imagine your support level for paid customers.

    Thanks

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

    Thank you.

    Thanks for pointing out, i have removed it from body and added as a featured image, but still while sharing on facebook, WhatsApp – No image, no title of post, no description of post is generated.

    However, now I can see the featured image on the homepage (thanks for that)

    Hello,

    Your homepage is still showing the error Bad Response Code URL returned a bad HTTP response code.

    In this case, we suggest contacting your web host to check this issue on your site. This could be caused by your SSL Certificate as it is returning issues upon validating:

    You may also check if your website has the ModSec (ModSecurity) feature enabled on your server as it can block some bots from accessing your site.

    Hope that helps.

    Yes, not only homepage, but all webpages are giving the same error. I believe I would have to contact my host for that. But I really thank you for your time and support. I really appreciate your efforts to help me.
