Featured Image ignored by SEO Analysis

    I have many posts where there are no images within the body text but there is a Featured Image set, which of course is displayed online in the post. The post referenced is but one example – there is clearly an image in the post.

    Yoast SEO Analysis however flags a “Problem” –

    Images: no images appear on this page. Add some!

    This in turn affects the summary status/score. Why is Yoast saying there are no images when very clearly there is one?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @zimbo000

    Thanks for reaching out about our content analysis. I can confirm you have a featured image for the post. Can you update to Yoast SEO 20.12 and see if the analysis changes to Images: good job! ?

    Just updated the plugin, updated the post as well (even though no changes made), did a hard cache refresh – Yoast still saying “no images”.

    So is this a bug? Any further action?

    Are you using a page builder? Also, can you share a screenshot of the featured image field showing your uploaded image? You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

    Posts do not use a page builder, they are created via the WP Classic Editor. I do not use Gutenberg.

    Thanks for the added information. I published a post in Classic Editor (v1.6.3) with a featured image and the Yoast SEO content analysis detected my featured image with the feedback: Images: good job!

    Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

    Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

    If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts

    If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our Yoast SEO Premium plugin comes with one year of (technical) support.
