    Hello, I tried sharing a few pages from my website, http://www.aonlinetravel.com, but I keep seeing one picture. But initially it used to share the image of a particular page I wanted to share. Can you help please?

    You are still using demo data, but there is a problem with the photos.
    Try removing the demo data and then re-installing it.

    You have another social share plugin showing in the profile area that may be causing the conflict. You can also try disabling that to see if the theme share buttons work as expected.

    I don’t think I get you when you are saying demo data. I tried the sharing button to see if it was the cause, but they were both working just fine.

    Can you share the listing where you tested it and it was working fine?

    Thanks

    I tried the sharing button to see if it was the cause, but they were both working just fine.

    Is there still a problem then?

    Go to GD > General > Dummy Data and remove the data, and then add it again if you like. Some of the pictures are missing and that is part of the problem.

    If you are still having that problem, we would be happy to take a look at your settings to see if we can find the issue.

    There does seem to be some code in the header? That might be in your GD > Design > Scripts > JS

    Please create a private reply and include all the information listed below so we can make a complete diagnosis.

    Hi Tendai,

    I looked a little bit in your listings.

    You added open graph tags (og) for your homepage with the header-footer-script-inserter plugin. This is causing the problem, because facebook will grab the first open graphs found in the meta data.
    As you are using YOAST SEO this is not needed. You have to remove them from the header sections in the header-footer-script-inserter plugin.
    The open graphs from YOAST SEO for the individual listings looks okay.
    You can change the description for your frontpage within the page section (see YOAST SEO manual).

    To test what will be scrapped by facebook you can use this testpage:
    https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
    Always use get new scrapping infos.

    Best,
    Dirk

    Okay, now I think it is Okay with Google and Twitter but not with facebook though. Or perhaps I have to wait for a while?

    You can delete them from your wall in facebook and post to facebook again.
