Opengraph details incorrect when link sharing

  When sharing links to individual posts from my site, the preview display seems to be very random. Sometimes it defaults to the homepage, sometimes it shares old metadata, and very rarely does it share the correct image thumbnail and headline. How can I amend this? I use YoastSEO plugin (free version) and fill out the metadata accordingly.

  Hi,

  What is the URL of the site you are trying share posts for? We’ll be happy to take a look and see if we can help.

  Hello there,

  This site is not hosted with us on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress software at another hosting provider. This is a bit different to a site hosted on WordPress.com. You can read about these differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  It sounds like something in the theme is perhaps overwriting the meta data there. If Yoast is configured, the next port of call would be to contact the theme developers.
