    Hello, i have a strange problem that sharing a post on X shows the default image set on AIOSEO Twitter settings instead of the featured one.

    Checking the source code of the article the meta tag twitter:image has the correct URL of the featured image and also checking with any Twitter card validator online tool shows properly the featured image.

    I don’t know why sharing the post on X shows the default image.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi @simbian,

    Since it sounds like you validated that the source code contains the correct featured image, then the issue is related to caching.

    Each time Twitter sees your content, it caches information about it for seven days. They use what they have in their cache when your content is shared.

    This is the #1 most common cause of problems with sharing on Twitter because cached information may be old and not reflect what you’ve set in All in One SEO.

    Unfortunately the only thing you can do is to download the image you’ve set for Twitter, rename it and upload it back into All in One SEO.

    If this doesn’t work, then you’ll have to wait until Twitter fetches the new information from your site.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.
