It seems like we need to change the “thumbnail” to another photo size in the code per this advice in this thread:

?

Hi Ismael! Thanks for logging in. I added your code to the robots.txt file but will this work in ursl like:
http://www.thomashenthorne.com/27-022/

Since there is no “attachment id”…?

I don’t see how adding that to robots.txt will prevent indexing of these photo files?

I have been running Enfold for 2 years + and thus just started happening…. isn’t that a clue that something has changed with the theme? I know there are many variables at play.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Ismael,

Thanks for the response!! Yes, I have Yoast, and yes, I have always re-directed attachments posts to parent pages / posts, and Yoast confirms with this message in the dashboard:
“As you are redirecting attachment URLs to parent post URLs, these settings will currently only have an effect on unattached media items! So remember: If you change the attachment redirection setting in the future, the below settings will take effect for *all* media items.”

I really think this is something new that is theme related with the last update as I have never seen pages like this before. These are not normal “attachment pages” but rather long URLs that include the lightboxed photos. I remember there was an issue with the Masonry gallery not displaying that the developers patched recently. Is it possible that the patch somehow did this? Just “grasping at straws” here.

The first place to start with this is should pages like the above pages I have linked to on my site even exist? They are not attachment /media pages, they are not real pages, they are something else that seems to be a lightbox photo.

Here is one for your convenience:

Note that the url is very strange — it’s not a media attachment like this one — note the path:
http://www.thomashenthorne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Sunset-1.jpg

So what is that first url is the first thing we must ask ourselves in solving this problem, and what is creating it?

Thanks!!!!! (I know this is a tough one, appreciate it…)

Very cool, thanks Andy!! I never would have figured that out on my own.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn’t work. You can actually empty the Facebook share cache by just clicking the “scrape again” button the url debugger. OG: description is still showing blank for that example page I listed in my first post.

Perhaps this is a Yoast bug affecting a relatively small number of people? I appreciate your trying to help but I’m guessing we have come to the end of suggestions on this one?

Thanks much,
rob

Hi Vinay! Long time no see on here. Thanks for your help.
Actually if you go to the facebook url scraper (link in my original post) and enter that url, you see the photo but if you look at og:description, it is blank. Even though I am using Yoast SEO and have a description on that page.. and if you look at the page code (ctrl-u on chrome) there is a meta description tag showing.

I installed an Open Graph plugin but received an error warning from Yoast that Yoast provides Open Graph, so deleted the plugin.

I don’t know if this is Yoast, Enfold, or something else, and the Open Graph data is working fine for other social media sharing.

Any other ideas?

Thanks Yigit! And is it possible to have the icons / arrows be different colors? I would like to make the up arrow green and the down arrow red.

I ended up creating an image that I pasted on this page:
http://www.thomashenthorne.com/april-2017-marin-county-real-estate-market-report-trends-market-news/

It’s the dashboard about halfway down. But I may use your technique in next month’s report if I can change colors of arrows.

Thanks!!!

Changing settings to 150×150 for Thumbnail photo solved the issue… thanks!

Ha ha ok Victoria, well welcome, we are glad you’re here… they desperately need help with the volume of requests they receive.

I will try this and report back on this thread if this works, so please leave thread open. Thanks! Rob

Hi Victoria!

Welcome to Enfold! I think you are new here? Thank you for your help!!!

I went into WordPress settings and changed the default thumbnail from 80×80 to 150×150 and am hoping this might solve it? Do you think I also need to make the modification above?

Thanks!!!!

Rob

Hi Andy,
Wow. Surprising. Seems like basic functionality to rename a slider, and definitely if you google the request it is something often asked for.

OK thanks….. & have a good day

Rob

Oops, sorry, I pushed production to staging and overwrote the admin credentials for you… new credentials in private content.

Content in staging is not current so pls track any changes you make as I will need to manually make them back over in production. :) :)

Thank you!!!

There are no tools that have been added since this strange menu behavior began.

Thanks for jumping in, but at this point I would like the moderators to log into the staging site and try to figure out what’s going on.

Thanks and have a great day!! :)
