I got this resolved, I had to disable the “Open Graph data” on Yoast SEO

“Allows for Facebook and other social media to display a preview with images and a text excerpt when a link to your site is shared. Keep this feature enabled to optimize your site for social media.”

This was overriding the featured image with the default /backup image. Now its operating correctly

Whelp I figured it out, it totally a conflict between YoastSeo and Jetpack. I disable one and boom it works

Sorry for all the confusion on this

So I spoke with Jetpack Tech Support and they said

Your site is using Yoast SEO to manage your social media images, not Jetpack. When you have Yoast enabled, Jetpack’s SEO features are automatically disabled.

Within Yoast SEO, you are setting the default social media graphic to be the one that you provided a link to. As a result, you will need to reach out to Yoast to get help with this issue as this issue does not pertain to Jetpack.

To me this means… that the Default image on the Social – Yoast SEO is second in priority picker and first must be Default featured image from the Settings -> Media Settings Menu.

I would need the Featured image from within the post menu option to be first as I think then it would display on twitter and Facebook properly when sharing.

I think it has something to do within the coding order or something

That’s the thing…. I have a default featured image/ back up incase a post doesn’t have a featured image.. but All post have featured imnaged and shouldnt be directing to “og:image tag set when viewing the source code (https://i1.wp.com/biggoldbelt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/BGB-Logo-2020-Black-1.png?fit=1500%2C1500&ssl=1)” first. Shouldnt it be the secondary choice.

Evening look at the post https://biggoldbelt.com/laura-post-interview-2021-otakon-2021/ you can see it has a featured image… but when it post to twitter and facebook its not the photo it uses..

I am willing to give a temp account login to take a look if needed. I am really confused
The website it displays the correct featured image and everything its only when sharing to social media sites

Ok so let me be a little more clear of the issue…

When post are publicized to twitter and facebook it uses the image i set that if there isnt an image on the post.

However… each post does have a featured image and its not using thatExample….

I am looking for the solution to use the custom featured image instead of the default back up one when there isn’t one available ..

Also might i add that randomly it decides to function correctly but not at all common

the issue is inconsistent while sometimes it functions correctly and sometimes it goes to the default featured image.

Any further suggestions?

Does this have anything to do with jetpack? I am without any direction here

Could this be an issue with jetpack as well?

I will try suggested troubleshooting

I had them look into this and I have then resolved now

Thank you

Will do

Thank you both

Is there an way to email for step by step help? There is alot of options and some im not familiar with

I know have pro, and would like assistance on this please

Does Pro allow you to shorten full text post?

When I do “Shorten post excerpts” it still imports the entire post. Any clue why that might be?

Looks like Pro is the soon to be option…

I have the Lite, I was asking is their a trial or something for the professional to test the extra functionality

Do you offer trails to test this, the pro software is very expensive and there isnt much video demoing the pro version
