    Hi

    I am using bbpress that comes with a feed feature where a user can post something like facebook.

    After a user posts on the feed with an image, I tried to share the post link to facebook. but facebook doesnt take the image from the post but the featured image of the ‘feed’ page.

    Is there a way to assign an img metadata to each post whenever a post is made with an image in order for facebook to crawl the image when sharing the post link on the fb?

    Please advise.

    Thank you

    Hello @futureyoon

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin. I am unfamilair with bbPress if you don’t want to share the URL of the post, could you check the page source to see that it has the necessary Open Graph tags for Facebook sharing?

    Oh my bad, I am sorry it’s not bbpress but BuddyPress like a social platform.

    For exmaple,

    https://try.wbcomdesigns.com/

    https://online-communities.demos.buddyboss.com/

    it has a feature where a user can make a post and each post with an image can be shared to other social platfrom like facebook with metadata.

    not sure if yoast can do such.

    Please advise.

    Thank you

    btw, the link you share is irrelevant.

    The link I shared explains how to check a page source.

    So, on your BuddyPress post, check the page source for the Open Graph tags e.g. og:image and og:title. If those are present, Facebook should be able to fetch the necessary information when you share your post.

    If not, use the Facebook sharing debugger to scrape the URL and see what your post should look like when shared.

    Yes I am aware of that. There is no og:image or title assigned to the individual post on the buddypress.

    That’s the reason I was asking if there is a way to assgin it with yoast somehow.

    Sorry, but Yoast SEO does not support Buddypress groups and forums. We have it in our internal product roadmap to build a better BuddyPress integration soon. You can also subscribe to this GitHub issue for updates
