Let me also highlight this, Yoast social media section is really goofed up after latest update. I am not the only user facing this issue.

Just look around to see the number of complaints among Yoast users…

1. Do those posts on the backend have a featured image associated with it or an image in the content area?

Ans: Every post in my website have featured image (https://nagalandexpress.com/nagaland/ancsu-declares-indefinite-digital-protest-against-state-govt-over-rs-3-71-cr-fund-utilization-at-kpa/) when you visit this URL you will not see any post images, but only featured image.

2. If not, go to SEO_Social-Facebook and make sure there is a default image. This is the image that will appear if none of the posts/pages have an image. Then clear all your caching on your site. Then re-share the URL to Twitter. Does that default Facebook image appear?

Ans: Once i upload this, every link i share in FB, Whatsapp, Twitter, it always calls this fall back image.

btw, none of my post is showing featured image in Google news, Whatsapp, Twitter etc.

But when i uninstall Yoast, it works perfectly. WordPress support team told default setting for images is overridden by Yoast. which is causing the error.

Are you going to fix this issue any time sooner, or keep sending reply with further questions?

“I had given ample example which can be used easily to recreate the issues.” Also all cache is cleared, but that is of no use.

Do let me know, if its going to be fixed soon, if not i will have to look beyond. Latest issue spotted is, even in “Google news” image is missing.

Thanks for reverting back, As mentioned earlier, i have been using Yoast plugin more than an year, till last week, i was not facing any issue in regards to image. Now Twitter card validator checking etc and all is a long and unnecessary steps to make things right.

Below you can find two URLs, even after doing Twitter validator test and refreshing, the image is not fetched for this posts.

is there a way out? in fact i have contacted few other WP users, most of them recently noticed the same issues for their pages also.

Hello,

I have been using Yoast for almost 1 year and 8 months, since the last update, any post i share in Twitter, Whatsapp, featured image is missing (In twitter its showing blank / in Whats App it shows either website LOGO or without image).

This issue started since the recent update. Even some times Facebook is not fetching the featured image from the post URL.

I have taken WordPress support team, and they guided me to find the issue by deactivating all the plugins except jetpack. And in the process we happen to find the issue with Yoast plugin, Also according to an update from WP support team, Yoast has an update on Sept 29, 2020. Even we started facing the image missing issue in social media around the same time.

Is there a away out for this?

website URL: https;//nagalandexpress.com (Funny thing is that, even this URL if i share in Twitter, it is not showing any image, it suppose to show website icon.)

I have checked Twitter debugging alongwith WP support team, it is showing the featured image, but when the post URL is shared it is not showing any image, rather a blank part. (You can try tweeting any post url in twitter and see)

My website is in Google news for few months and as of today, we have around 114 followers in Google news.

Do you think if I change Jetpack news sitemap to XML Sitemap & Google News (https://nagalandexpress.com/sitemap-news.xml) as explained in my first message, does it make any impact or I may get into news tab in Google search?

Also I wanted to know, in XML Sitemap & Google News site map, I can see keyword(s) and stock(s) field empty. What are this two fields, how it help the sitemap, can you also enlighten me on this too.

Thank you!
