    I’m using yoast to analyse my post for google and facebook and it work great apart from with the main events calendar page on my site:

    https://www.boomedinburgh.com/events/

    This isn’t listed as a page so isn’t being analysed. I need to correct the info that is shown when post a link to the main calendar in facebook as the text in the facebook preview is just random and it seems to select a random picture as well

    Any ideas on how to either view the main events page in yoast or update the text/image that appears in facebook.

    Thanks

    Hey Gareth

    Head to Yoast > Search Appearance > Content Types > Settings for Events archive (near the bottom) to specify a meta description, etc. for the /events page.

    You can add some custom code to your child theme’s functions.php file or use the My Custom Functions plugin to set the OG:Image for the /Events page if you’d like. See https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/ogimage-for-archive-page/#post-1331563 for the solution another user discovered. 

    I’d recommend using the default image in Yoast as a fallback option.

    Yoast > Social > Facebook

    Please let me know if this gets it working for you.

    Thanks
    Courtney 🙂

    Great Gareth. If every to modify that image or meta description, head to the same place to nudge Facebook to look again.

    I’ll close out this thread for now but let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks
    Courtney 🙂
