Hello,
I have og:image in source DOING vs BEING
However, there is no image when I shared the link in Whatsapp, FB… do you know why?
Same thing on my homepage:https://antonin.co/
Thank you
Hey @Onizal ! Sorry for the delay in your post’s appearance. It got hung up on spam settings. (Unfortunately, new user + the word whatsapp is usually a pretty strong spam signature.)
The Facebook sharing debugger can be pretty helpful here:
Ah! That’s interesting. The FB crawler that retrieves data got a 403 request code and said to look at robots.txt. But I don’t see anythign wrong with robots.txt. So it’s probably not the robots.txt, but why is FB getting a 403 error? Can you say more about your hosting setup? If you have some extra bot protection on, perhaps turn it off temporarily? (If you’re using Cloudflare, try turning it to ‘dns only’ temporarily.) Something between your site and the crawlers that get data when a post is shared is blocking the crawlers.
Update: I scraped it again, and the second time it got an image. So… did you change something? confused Is the problem still there, or are you good now?
Dear @Cathy_Sarisky thank you so much for your help! This is very odd because I didn’t change anything, but indeed it works now… so i’m good! For info this is hosted directly on GHOST. Thanks :)
