Ability To Toggle og:image ….

Anyway you guys could add the ability to toggle

function hook_wp_head() {
if (is_single()) {
global $post;

// facebook sharing fix for videos, we add the custom meta data
if (has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
$td_image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), ‘full’ );
if (!empty($td_image[0])) {
echo ‘<meta property=”og:image” content=”‘ . $td_image[0] . ‘” />’;
}
}

on or off in the theme panel?

I haven’t been able to figure out how to child theme it out and every update I have to manually go in and just delete <meta property=”og:image” content=”‘ . $td_image[0] . ‘” /> manually.

I have tried using yoast but the above snippet always overrides what I set in yoast and as a result what gets shared via fb share button is the feature image instead of our customized fb image.

Hi Simion,

This issue is more serious than it seems at first. Facebook will use the first og:image tag that it encounters. Your functionality is overriding Yoast and therefore rending the wrong image for every post. In a previous post in 2018, someone from your team mentioned that you leave this functionality to other plugins, not sure why that has changed but it does more damage at this point than good.

Thanks.

Agreed. Most people have Yoast SEO, and this code breaks its functionality.

Hi, did you manage to fix the video post sharing to FB problem (picking wrong image)

I’ve searched to implement your supposed fix to test it, but i can’t find where to put it nor delete the meta you are refering to.

Thanks in advice
