Avez-vous remarqué des miniatures de publication incorrectes lorsque vous partagez vos articles sur Facebook ?
C’est une erreur courante dont se plaignent souvent les débutants. Il n’est pas toujours évident de faire en sorte que Facebook affiche la bonne miniature.
Dans cet article, nous allons vous afficher comment corriger le problème de la miniature incorrecte de Facebook sur WordPress.
Pourquoi Facebook ne prend-il pas en compte la miniature ?
Il existe de nombreuses raisons pour lesquelles Facebook n’affiche pas correctement l’image mise en avant dans votre publication. L’une des raisons les plus courantes est que plusieurs images sont définies dans l’identifiant og:Image et que l’image mise en avant est plus petite que les autres.
Facebook utilise les identifiants Open Graph (og), et de nombreuses extensions WordPress comme AIOSEO et Yoast SEO les ajoutent automatiquement à votre site WordPress pour éviter les miniatures manquantes.
Parmi les autres causes, citons les extensions en conflit de cache, les conflits de CDN ou l’absence d’une identification méta open graph pour l’image de la miniature.
Il est vraiment difficile de deviner la cause du problème car aucun message d’erreur spécifique ne s’affiche lors de l’utilisation de l’outil de débogage.
Ceci étant dit, voyons quelques moyens de corriger le problème de la miniature incorrecte sur Facebook :

I also encountered a similar problem once and the solution was to remove mixed content where part of the site was http and part was https. Then the previews on Facebook were also displayed incorrectly.

Brilliant advise, worked straight away, thank you!!!

Hello I’m quite confused. I can’t find the Social Meta feature. I go to feature manager, and all it does is tell me I need the Pro version. Did they put all features behind a paywall?
WPBeginner Support says
You would want to check in the individual posts at the bottom as that would be where you find this feature.

Becka says
I did all these things. Still doesn’t work. I can set the preferred image on all pages except my homepage. It always shows up as my site icon. Maybe I should dump AIOSEO and use a different one?
WPBeginner Support says
For specifically your homepage you can find where to edit that under All in One SEO > Search Appearance. We would still recommend All in One SEO

Hi, I’m using Yeost SEO. I’ve been doing all the steps from adding the picture specific in the Yeost Facebook setting to Facebook debugging. The thumbnail still shows the logo of my website instead of the image and descriptions.
WPBeginner Support says
The most common issue you would want to check would be that your site’s cache has cleared.

Jill Hasty says
My problem is not being able to set it…my problem is that I want it to default to using the feature image in my social media posts. It used to do that but now something has changed and it doesn’t do it anymore.
We’re often posting from sea via email so manually setting the image is not an option.
WPBeginner Support says
If it is not using the featured image by default then you would likely want to check with the support for your SEO plugin to see if there is an issue with the plugin itself. You should also have the option to select the featured image as an image already uploaded to your site’s media library without needing to upload it again.

Hi, so I’m having a problem when sharing just my URL on Facebook. I was hoping it would show my header or logo image but it’s sharing my last blog upload image. Is there a way to fix that??
WPBeginner Support says
In the general SEO settings for the plugin you are using, you should be able to set the image for your main site.

Thank you so much for the detailed article! I tried the debugger and the All-In-One SEO suggestion but neither works
The weird thing is that when I share my blog post on my personal Facebook profile the thumbnail shows just fine, but when I share on my Facebook page (i.e. my business FB page), I keep getting my site’s logo instead of the post photo… Any ideas? Thank you so much
WPBeginner Support says
Sadly, you may need to run the debug tool on the link to force Facebook to clear their cache of that specific post.

Please my link has not been displaying Thumbnail on WhatsApp but working fine on Facebook. I actually changed my theme recently and would like to know if there is anything I can do to ensure the thumbnail starts displaying on WhatsApp.

If you have Yoast’s plugin active then you would want to reach out to the plugin’s support and let them know the image is not displaying.

I bet I have a new one for you. I have a relatively new site (5 posts) and any post I try to share to Facebook brings up a preview for a CNN article. I have no idea why. If you click on it, it does take you to my post but the preview will always show the same CNN post.
I have tried the debugger with no luck. I disabled all my plugins and then tried it again thinking maybe a plugin was making my site wonky but no luck.
Any ideas?
WPBeginner Support says
Have you tried manually setting an image using an SEO plugin like Yoast and then running the debugger?
Administrateur
Cathy says
Yes, but it still redirects to the CNN post.
WPBeginner Support says
If it is redirecting to CNN and you didn’t write about it you may want to check with your host that there aren’t any redirects set up in your htaccess and you may want to try the theme checker plugin in step 4 of our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-step-step-guide-fixing-hacked-wordpress-site/

I’m wondering if I should upload the actual size of the Facebook image 1200 x 630 px to my blog or scale it down on my laptop to the right size for my blog content container and then upload it to my blog? What’s best?
Thanks!
WPBeginner Support says
We would normally recommend adding the best image for your theme to your site
Administrateur
MA says
So for Facebook scale the images down to a 1.91 to 1 ratio (to match my blog container width) and when someone shares it on my blog post it should still come out Ok on Facebook even though it’s not 1200 x 628? Facebook should just zoom it up right?
WPBeginner Support says
Facebook should try to adjust and if not, most SEO plugins have an option to upload an image specifically for Facebook or other sharing platforms for those to use.

Is there any updated advise on this? I use SEO Yoast Premium and have set the correct photo for the Facebook link preview but Facebook is still choosing the incorrect photo that is completely irrelevant to the post.

Thanks soooo much!!! Dude, you are great! Greetings from Colombia
Rosio says
So sadly my blog was set up under All in One Seo not Yoast. When I tell All in One which image to display as a thumbnail in the social meta section, Facebook shows the default image instead. Any help with the All In One Seo Plugin is greatly appreciated.
Ellen Dubois says
This solved my problem!! I used Fb debugger and copied the URL for the photo it said it could not find. Then went to my dashboard and double clicked the photo and inserted the alternate title copied from the debugger! Et voila! Thanks guys!
Claude Gelinas says
There seems to be an incompatibility between WordPress’ Photon image caching engine and Facebook.
If the go:image meta tag points to your server and the images are served through Photo, that’s where Facebook is incapable of retrieving the images.
Google Plus never has that sort of problem.
In my view, the problem comes from Facebook.
Vera Schäfer says
Thank you so much! I was having a hard time trying to force Facebook Debugger to show my image, as I always do but today it simply wasn’t happening. I use Yoast for years but never occurred to me to follow setting instructions like you helped me today.
Gideon says
thanks to you people this issues has been giving me a sleepless night after reading this post and i follow the procedure everything was like a dream…. thanks
Tliffany Clarkson says
Is there a way to fix this problem without having to manually use the facebook debugger for every single post? I have hundreds of posts and all are showing the wrong pic. Help would be greatly appreciated!
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Tiffany,
The best way to do this is still using the Yoast SEO plugin’s social tab to manually set Facebook thumbnail when you are writing the article.

Kyle Andrew says
This worked perfectly for me and I didn’t even know that Yoast, which I have installed on my site could do this. After using the facebook debug tool to ‘force a refresh’ everything is good to go! Thank you very much.

How to solve this incorrect thumbnail issue for WhatsApp sharing
Amit Bajaj says
Hi
I have recently started facing a weird problem while posting on my Facebook Page. Earlier, when posting a link from my website, I was able to change the image that Facebook automatically pulled from that respective website link.
The earlier process was like this:
1. Put link on a new facebook post
2. FB automatically pulls the featured image from my wordpress post
3. I uploaded a new image
4. Removed the featured image
5. Published the post with an image of my choice.
Now, everything is going fine except step no.4. I am no longer able to remove the automatically pulled featured image. So instead of a single, large image I am getting stuck with a two image carousel.
I have 2 FB pages and this problem is only happening on one of the pages.
Can anyone guide me as to how this problem can be overcome??
Thank you in advance..
Daniel says
I have the same issue! I can neither upload new images nor remove featured images – does anyone have a solution?
Kind regards
Dana says
I am having the same problem. There are 2 default pictures, I upload another one which I want to appear, but in a few seconds my uploaded picture disappears. Does anyone have a solution? Facebook debugger did not solve anything.
Khalid says
I am facing same problem too since 5 or 6 days on my all pages. Now we can’t change the post title and description too. I search a lot on internet about it, but i can’t find anything about it even it’s not mentioned in facebook help section. I think facebook have applied some changes. If you find any solution please let me know.
Mobius Prolix says
I’ve not heard of a ACTUAL fix yet. Just a bunch of crap telling you to fix Facebooks problems. Works for some and doesn’t for the rest. For now, we are in the incompetent hands of Facebook Staff.
