Featured images not showing when sharing links

  • Web is one for gaming/anime news, so users are constantly sharing links to WhatsApp, Messenger and several social media like X (Twitter) and Facebook.

    Problem is links never show the featured image, the cover of each news. Only the “A” logo from my webpage is shown in every single different link.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    • Webpage is hosted on a Spanish hosting called Hostinger
    • After contacting them, Hostinger clarifies it’s not a problem from its end

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

  • Looks like you have All In One SEO Pack installed and you have the OpenGraph option on. This usually isn’t a hosting problem.

    Have you tried using the Developer tools for those to test your URLs and make sure that those social networks aren’t blocking you? Additionally, some of these platforms might require you to register for a simple app.

    For example, when I checked your URL in the Facebook Sharing Debugger at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ , there was no FB app ID. However, in general the Sharing Debugger tool does actually read your OpenGraph tags well and sees your image, but I think you meant to use the Ubisoft graphic as your displayed image?

    There should be an area when you are editing your posts or pages for All In One SEO Pack to add an image that’s different from your post or page’s Featured image.

    1. Go to your post that you want to edit.
    2. Scroll down on the left side under the block editor for your All In One SEO Pack settings.
    3. Look for the Social tab
    4. Scroll and look for Image source. Select one of the options, whether featured image or even Custom image. If you select Custom Image, you can upload or pick an existing image in your WordPress Media library.
    5. Save and clear your site’s cache (optional)

    Thanks you so much for your help!

    You really nailed it! I never thought it had to do with All In One SEO and that plugin was only for the SEO on search engines haha.

    I just updated the featured image as you mentioned through the All In One SEO and problem is solved. I collaborate on a wordpress.com and there’s like automatic when uploading the image, so that confused me with my www.ads-software.com site
