Anyone with a solution to this issue?
Hello Amar,
I am sorry that your fallback og:image for the news category page is not being picked up; I can confirm that og:image for https://www.geekdashboard.com/category/news/ is missing.
Can you please confirm if you want the desired behavior for pages, posts or categories as the settings differ? To set a default image for a category, it should be done by editing the category, scrolling down to the Yoast SEO metabox and setting the image. Does this resolve the issue?
Hi
It works when I manually edit a category and add a featured image. But I don’t want to do it.
Since there are plenty of such categories, tags, posts, etc on my site, I want to use a default placeholder when I didn’t set a featured image manually.
Is it possible? It yes, how can I do it?
Hi @amarilindra
The og:image tag tries to draw from the following sources and if it doesn’t find any suitable image, goes to the next possible fallback in this order:
-A user-defined image “Facebook image” in the Social tab of the Yoast metabox.
-A user-defined “Featured image” for the page (only for posts).
-A prominent image from the page’s content.
-The “Social default image” from the template in Search Appearance.
-The site’s fallback/default social image (set at SEO > Social > Facebook > Default image).
Could you check if you’ve set fallback images for the category taxonomy in Search Appearance, and as well as under SEO > Social > Facebook?
Hi
I did the following to solve the issue:
1. I removed the image that was already set at SEO > Social > Facebook > Default image.
2. I added the same image again and Saved the settings.
