Opengraph Issue for Webp

    Hi,
    I had many issues with Opengraph, but I fixed almost all of them except og: image missing.

    I use Webp for the website. But in trouble that google loves Webp, and we also, even WordPress, support it, but Facebook is still lacking. Most probably, Facebook thinks it’s google innovation why should we add it. It’s long since (2010) Google released a modern image format Webp with excellent quality with reduced size.

    Here are my questions.

    I have added a jpg banner in Local SEO and the Homepage, which is working fine. Also, there is an option for adding og images individually for posts.

    Is there any way to add webp in og: image?

    if not

    How can I use the same banner for all posts as og: image currently used in the Local SEO/Homepage instead of the individual?

    Thanks

    Hello @rajibms,

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

    The only way you can add the webp images in the opengraph tag is by removing the og:image tag added by Rank Math and adding a custom code to include this tag with the webp image. We validate the image for a valid format before adding it to og:image, so the webp image will fail this validation as it is not supported by Facebook.

    As far as adding default image is concerned, we provide an option in Dashboard >> Titles & Meta >> Global Meta >> Opengraph Thumbnail. The image from this setting is used on a post that doesn’t have Featured Image & image in the content.

    This is the priority in which we add images:
    1. The image added in the Social tab
    2. The Featured image
    3. First image from the content
    4. The default image from the settings.

    You can also use the following filter to change the image on the frontend:

    Example code:

    add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/image", function( $attachment_url ) {
	return $attachment_url; // Return custom image url here.
});

    Hope that helps.
