meta og:image not working for my wordpress website using SSL


I am playing around with adding meta property to my wordpress website with SSL certified. I send the link to skype and whatsapp the og:image not working. I tried with many plugins and without plugin direct html code into my wordpress theme header but still not working. Anyone help me to guide with suitable plugin or wp code to achieve this. Thanks in Advance.

Solution

  • Your open graph data appears to be working fine (FB sharing debugger, iframely).

    This points to an issue with Skype. Skype caches its link metadata (including images) both in the cloud and on your computer. There are instructions on the Skype forums to clear your local cache, but you’ll just have to wait for the cloud cache to update.

    When I entered the link into a WhatsApp conversation, the image appeared as desired:

    I suspect Skype will follow suit shortly, and that this is just a caching issue. I’ve faced similar issues with Facebook & Twitter posts when updating metadata - in my experience it can take up to a week for the changes to propagate fully.
