Hi Guys,
Hope all is well.

I have a small issue with the webpages main url sharable link.

When one share’s my website URL (www.streetlifedxb.com) over social media, it generates an automated html box including a website image, website title, and description along with the url. Unfortunately, the image and texts that appear are different to the inputted ‘website identity’, and home page ‘feature image’ and ‘description’. How can I modify the information that is generated?

Hi Mate,

Simion, thanks for the reply.
We have installed a similar SEO plugin. For all pages it works fine, however, not for the the homepage.

Kindly regard:
1) Social Sharing examples: https://prnt.sc/gvxtsj
2) homepage settings: http://prntscr.com/gvxuok – it seems as if the logo is used, but which one, from where?

Thanks for the support.

Cheers,
Fabian

Hi,

I could not say why that is happening. Double check the social sharing settings in the plugin you use. Use the Facebook debugger to test

With the Yoast SEO plugin you can set an image and description and a title for each page, for social sharing
