How to change title of main /events/ page

[Darius]

Hi, I have a problem.

If sharing main events page of https://tabletennis.lt/events on facebook, it fetch image of the first event. But if event passed if user share this page shows logo of passed events and it’s very bad for current other events. I prefer to show logo of the website…

As well the title looks awful.

So my question is it possible to set aka “featured” image for this page and change the title, because now shows Archive: … etc but after website loads title changes to more proper. But Facebook fetch crawler takes what sees first..

So how to make nice share page for this main events pro listing page?

Good evening Darius and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

Regarding the title, I believe you will want to read the following since you are a Yoast user: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/titles-in-yoast-seo/

As for the featured image on facebook, this is also mostly dependent on Yoast’s settings (for Archives in this case).

What is going on is that an image from a previous event is being used as a fallback.
If setting up Yoast to get a default image seems a bit cumbersome, you could use a little trick to workaround the issue as explained by my colleague Geoff here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/set-featured-image-for-events-list/#post-1222358

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
