Thumnail doesn't show on Social Networking

Hi!

That’s quite easy to fix. Go to functions/theme-functions.php line 1385, where the function tie_og_data is defined. The first lines of the function look like this:

function tie_og_data() {
  global $post ;
  if ( function_exists("has_post_thumbnail") &&
       has_post_thumbnail() ) {
    $post_thumb = tie_thumb_src( 'slider' ) ;
  } else {
    $get_meta = get_post_custom($post->ID);
    // ...

Add the following piece of code before the if clause:

function tie_og_data() {
  global $post ;
  if ( function_exists( 'uses_nelioefi' ) &&
       uses_nelioefi( $post->ID ) ) {
    $post_thumb = nelioefi_get_thumbnail_src( $post->ID );
  } else if ( function_exists("has_post_thumbnail") &&
              has_post_thumbnail() ) {
    $post_thumb = tie_thumb_src( 'slider' ) ;
  } else {
    $get_meta = get_post_custom($post->ID);
    // ...

Hello David,

Recently I updated my wordpress sahifa theme to the new version 5.3.0. It seem like this solution is no longer working. After changing the code again, I got an error message on the website show that something went wrong in my …//functions/theme-functions.php. May you please take a look at this issue again? (Plugin version 1.2.0)

I appreciate that..

Best regard,

I am using dazzling theme and I am having the same problem. Image is not showing up on facebook share. Is there a better solution other than hard coding theme core file as it is painful during update.

Well I was using 1.3 version but after installing 1.2.0 version the facebook image problem is gone.

Hi guys!

If you want the featured image to appear on your social networks, you have to look for the following meta tag in your theme:

<meta property="og:image" content="..." />

This meta property, which has to be placed in the head of your site, specifies the URL of the featured image in the content attribute.

@chhydestiny, if you take a look at the function I modified for you one month ago, it returns all the relevant meta information for Facebook (og in tie_og_data stands for “open graph”).

Anyway, try adding the following piece of code in your functions php:

if ( ! function_exists( 'nelioefi_add_image_for_sharing' ) ) {
  add_action( 'wp_head', 'nelioefi_add_image_for_sharing', 99 );
  function nelioefi_add_image_for_sharing() {
    $image = nelioefi_get_thumbnail_src( get_the_ID() );
    if ( $image ) {
      echo "<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"$image\" />";
    }
  }
}

That should do the trick!

HI i added the following code to my function.php in my child theme folder. is there anything else i need to do in order to make featured image to appear in my social media ? a step by step guide will be very useful. thank you !

if ( ! function_exists( ‘nelioefi_add_image_for_sharing’ ) ) {
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘nelioefi_add_image_for_sharing’, 99 );
function nelioefi_add_image_for_sharing() {
$image = nelioefi_get_thumbnail_src( get_the_ID() );
if ( $image ) {
echo “<meta property=\”og:image\” content=\”$image\” />”;
}
}
}

Can you please share a link to one post in your blog, @nevillo2?

I’d like to see if the code you added works as expected.
