 * Hi,
    the OG-Image is, when posting a link somewhere, either wrong or none. **
   Example one:** When i post the homepage/domain (not a subpage) it shows this 
   image: [https://www.axellauer.de/screenshots/yoast1.jpg](https://www.axellauer.de/screenshots/yoast1.jpg)
   The image shown is an image from the latest blogpost, but not the OG-image from
   the startpage. **Why does it show a completely wrong image here?**
 * **example 2:**
    When i check via twittercard validator it does not show any image
   at all: [https://www.axellauer.de/screenshots/yoast1.jpg](https://www.axellauer.de/screenshots/yoast1.jpg)
   The validator says that “summary_large_image tag found” but the preview shows
   a small image. **Why does it show a wrong preview and no image?**
 * kind regards axel
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fog-image-wrong%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * We’re sorry you’re having trouble with social preview when sharing the page. 
   I imagine this can be frustrating for you. We’d like to look a closer look.
 * Upon checking the page source we do see the missing OG:Image meta tag required
   for image sharing on social media. However, checking the main page URL via the
   Facebook debugger tool, we do see the image being outputted on the preview. See
   attachment [reference](https://prnt.sc/20glcg7).
 * Please note that if _og:image_ tag is missing Facebook will select a relevant
   image from the page content and choose to display it on the social media preview.
 * Make sure that you’ve assigned the custom Facebook/Twitter image for the homepage
   from the Yoast SEO metabox as explained in this KB – [https://yoast.com/help/custom-open-graph-tags/](https://yoast.com/help/custom-open-graph-tags/)
