    Hi guys,

    when I post a link to my website made with X and Icon Agency pages I don´t get proper previews generated.
    Examples:

    – When posting a link on facebook, no pictures and no text is drawn from the site
    – When trying to put the website on LinkedIn, it randomly grabs a client logo from the site

    How can I influence/repair that so that I can use these functions better?

    Thanks for a hint!

    Hello Lutz,

    Thanks for writing in! Is this, http://www.xffxcticorx.dx/, the site in question? I tested to share it in Facebook and this is what I got.

    Since you have installed Yoast SEO plugin, you need to disable the built in OpenGraph in X. You can disable it by going to Appearance > Customize > Social > Open Graph. By disabling this feature, you are allowing Yoast SEO plugin to fully manage the Open Graph tags for your content. This tag is what is needed when you share your site in Facebook and other networking sites.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the fast reply! I will check Yoast and see what comes of it.
