Events will not share correct thumbnail to Facebook

[anywherefest]

I have searched the forum- no luck so posting here.

I have finally found a fix to at least set a default image to post to Facebook but I still cannot find a fix to get tribe events to show featured image when shared to Facebook. It’s driving me and my artists bonkers!!

I am using the code below in functions.php to try to force Facebook to use featured image but it’s not working. Can anyone please help?

function insert_image_src_rel_in_head() {
global $post;
if ( !is_singular()) //if it is not a post or a page
return;
if(!has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID )) { //the post does not have featured image, use a default image
$default_image=”http://anywherefest.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/gremlins.jpg”; //replace this with a default image on your server or an image in your media library
echo ‘<meta property=”og:image” content=”‘ . $default_image . ‘”/>’;
}
else{
$thumbnail_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), ‘medium’ );
echo ‘<meta property=”og:image” content=”‘ . esc_attr( $thumbnail_src[0] ) . ‘”/>’;
}
echo ”
“;
}
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘insert_image_src_rel_in_head’, 5 );

Hi and thanks for posting,

It sounds like you’re experiencing a theme conflict which extend beyond the scope of support we’re able to provide. One idea I have would be to use an open graph plugin. If you’re using Yoast’s WordPress SEO, it has built-in open graph settings too.

I wish I was able to provide more support and best of luck getting the images to display properly!
