I am reading about how to put the meta in place in order to have Facebook display the desired content when a URL is mentioned on Facebook. Meta tags are available for things like title, description, and an image, for example. I modified the functions.php file in the child theme and I also tried putting one line of meta for the image into the parent-level header.php file, with no success.

Can you share with us the code that you’re trying to use?
Could you please give us a link to your website, we need more context to be able to help you.
Best regards,
VictoriaMay 18, 2018 at 7:40 pm #958793I tried using some PHP code that I had found on the Internet. I ended up removing this particular code from the child theme functions.php file, and I started using the Yoast SEO plugin. The Yoast plugin seems to provide the meta functionality for Facebook.
Here is the code that did not seem to work:
function add_opengraph_doctype( $output ) { return $output . ' xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"'; } add_filter('language_attributes', 'add_opengraph_doctype'); //Lets add Open Graph Meta Info function insert_fb_in_head() { global $post; if ( !is_singular()) //if it is not a post or a page return; echo '<meta property="fb:admins" content="1600152201"/>'; echo '<meta property="og:title" content="' . get_the_title() . '"/>'; echo '<meta property="og:type" content="article"/>'; echo '<meta property="og:url" content="' . get_permalink() . '"/>'; echo '<meta property="og:site_name" content="Namz Custom Cycle Products"/>'; if(!has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID )) { //the post does not have featured image, use a default image $default_image="https://new.namzcustomcycleproducts.com/staging/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/namz-fb.jpg"; //replace this with a default image on your server or an image in your media library echo '<meta property="og:image" content="' . $default_image . '"/>'; } else{ $thumbnail_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'medium' ); echo '<meta property="og:image" content="' . esc_attr( $thumbnail_src[0] ) . '"/>'; } echo " "; } add_action( 'wp_head', 'insert_fb_in_head', 5 );

So did you get it working for you with the Yoast Seo plugin?
Best regards,
