Featured images on facebook posts

in Rife Posts: 15
Hi, I've started building a new blog based on your theme at http://www.redwoodphotography.co.uk/ So far seems to be going Ok, however one thing I've noticed - when I (or someone else) shares a link to blog post on facebook, the image on facebook is blank? When I shared posts using my previous theme, the featured image for my post was used as default by facebook as the image for the link. With my rife theme, it seems to be trying to share an image but it's blank white box on facebook. Any ideas? Thanks! Rob

    Hi Rob:-)

    Thanks for bringing this issue up. I think this is cause cause of way title bar is created. I will think about it how to tweak it for next update.

    Anyway I would recommend using plugin to enable bulletproof method for this: Yoast SEO plugin http://rifetheme.com/help/docs/plugins-recommendations/yoast-seo/ - it gives much more power in such things like sharing.

    In theme we will never be able to cover it as good as their plugin does.

    With kind regards.
  • Ok, have installed Yoast and as you suggested, it allows me to specify image to be used for facebook posts. Thankyou! Great support...
