Hi,

In order to work the custom image from Yoast SEO you need to comment/remove some code in theme files, wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php

Thank you!

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] . '" />';
}
}

this is the code

Hi @Calin,

I assumed that after update this issue should be fixed. Now I can’t see this part of code in file: https://www.screencast.com/t/OMyytajh

However I still see that meta date is doubled: https://imgur.com/a/iOO4His
