What plugin are you using to add your open graph meta data? Is it actually there when you do view source?

Yoast seo or similar plugins can help.

I’m using Yoast SEO.

Another issue as well: Google cannot read/see the images on Webmaster Tools. Was wondering how do I share an image for the same.

Hi Simion

With regards to Facebook sharing, the same was done. There is no change in it. The image comes up, with a Title that just reads MotorOctane.com instead of anything. I have got the title for fb and twitter changed on Yoast about 2 months ago. It did function well on the old theme.
See this link in Facebook debug page:

With regards to images, I meant in Webmaster Tools, Data Structure is where it goes missing. Not in Sitemap. Help us with the same.

When the Google bot comes on the post, it can only see and read the Featured image and no other image can be seen/read by it.

Another new issue: Smart bar doesn’t work. So it doesn’t move as we scroll down.

Hi,

There are some meta properties in the page source fromm what I can see, but the Yoast SEO plugin does not seem to be installed
https://www.screencast.com/t/vB8N8RsC0OT
The plugin has to be installed and configured properly, it alone handles all the social sharing. The theme does not have any options in this matter, or does it affect the sharing.
The debugger detects the required meta as missing from the page.
For the crawl image problem, maybe you can check if there is an error log specifying what exactly is the problem with the images in the posts
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35120?hl=en
Find if there are any errors and why they are caused and test again

The smart sidebar has to be enabled in the theme panel

These issues could be caused by plugins, try deactivating all your plugins except theme plugins and Yoast SEO, clear any installed caching and make tests. Check custom code in the theme panel, or added to the theme files directly.

Thanks
