Hi,

My link previews have stopped showing on Facebook and twitter. I tried using the Facebook Debugger Tool but it just throws up a couple of errors at me. I am using Yoast plugin so I am unable to understand what the problem is.

Hi,

Indeed there are some errors when debugging a random post from your website
– http://prntscr.com/m40we7
The title and the image are not detected by Facebook. But the necessary meta is in the post page source – http://prntscr.com/m40x0s

Checking what Facebook sees from the page source – http://prntscr.com/m40y6c
Seems that the og data is not found – http://prntscr.com/m40yht
– http://prntscr.com/m40ynt

You could try as a first step to deactivate all plugins (including optimization plugins if used) except theme plugins and Yoast, clear all caching and try the debugger again

Could be a plugin conflict of some kind.

Thanks
