Hello!, before installing the theme i used jetpack to post every entry via publicize, and posted correctly every entry with an image, but since I installed the theme almost every post appears without an image, how can i fix this?
Also the facebook title and description writen on yoast won’t appear.
This es how we set the description on yoast but it won’t respect it:
Theme has nothing to do with this.
FB reads the “meta” data injected into your post headers using Yoast SEO plugin (not made by TagDiv) or any other plugin; and then ‘captures’ the info for post on FB, including image from your site.
a) check your post page source to ‘see’ what is actually there and adjust Yoast SEO settings; see the plugin support forum (not here) for help on learning to use Yoast SEO if new to you
b) check your post with FB debug tool also to ensure your meta data formatted properly
c) note that FB has been having image capture issues this week, unrelated to anything else — this happens from time to time when they are either overloaded or doing some kind of system reindex/change/update. Nothing you can do about it except possibly use the “refresh share attachment” option when you post manually to FB.
Good luck!
( I don’t work here; just long time smarty pants on this stuff. )
The rare thing is that before installing the theme everything worked right (with the other theme) and this happened exactly after installing the theme.
I already checked the source and used the debug tool, and the meta tags do appear there with the image, but i have to click on scrap in the debug tool several times until it recognizes them, wich causes that te first time they post automatically they appear without it, so have to eliminate every post, go to debug tool, scrap and repost manually.
Any other suggestion/solution?
Wait for FB to get their act together. Nothing you can do about it. We’ve been suffering with this across 10 news portals since Monday. Happens every few months, and usually starts when they are messing with some element related to image capture and their CDNs. It’s working a little better today, but yesterday everything just captured a box with site name in it and no image, text, etc.
Again “theme” has nothing to do with FB capture — if your meta data *is* there, and your content is there, that is what FB uses. Period. So, if you can see it, FB can see it unless you block them via firewall for some reason (we did that once).
Put another way — FB reads the opengraph data; tries to read that data in your meta data into their system, and capture the image linked to from your web domain (outside the theme, in your image folder). Theme has nothing whatsoever to do with your image loading from your image folder, nor anything to do with FB being able to read the open graph meta data on your page.
Anyway — we have been suffering this on and off since FB launched. So, it’s nothing new.
Hope that helped. (Probably not.) It usually clears up in couple of days.
Hello im still having issues, but now none of the posts whow images, are you still having issues Chris?
Actually … not really; post I shared 3 hours ago loaded empty picture, and empty thumb at bottom; but got rest of data; so in my case I just manually added photo. Annoying!

This does usually ‘clear up’ after few days, but going on 3 days now. Maybe they are rolling out some kind of change for July 1. Like they just killed my old advertiser account, and made new one for me — “congratulations on posting your first ad…” after several years of ads? So, they are messing with stuff all over the place!
Hang in there ! I guess with 2 billion monthly users (!!!) they need to do stuff on a scale we mere mortals cannot imagine.
( we have dedicated server with 32GB RAM and multiple POPs in Class-A IBM datacenter in Dallas, Texas — so not a ‘latency’ issue on our side either . . . )
