Any assistance would be most appreciated.

farinspace commented Aug 31, 2021

keep in mind that wpseo_opengraph_image WILL NOT be called if no appropriate images are found (e.g. a featured images is not present, or an in-page IMG tag is not present).

see wordpress-seo/src/presenters/open-graph/image-presenter.php for reference, the function signature is:

protected function filter( $image ) {
	/**
	 * Filter: 'wpseo_opengraph_image' - Allow changing the Open Graph image.
	 *
	 * @api string - The URL of the Open Graph image.
	 *
	 * @param Indexable_Presentation $presentation The presentation of an indexable.
	 */
	$image_url = \trim( \apply_filters( 'wpseo_opengraph_image', $image['url'], $this->presentation ) );
	if ( ! empty( $image_url ) && \is_string( $image_url ) ) {
		$image['url'] = $image_url;
	}

	return $image;
}

Something like add_filter('wpseo_opengraph_image' , '__return_false' ); WILL NOT work because, unless you are changing the url into a NON-EMPTY STRING value you are unable to effect the output.

How can I change the OG Title to pull from the yoast meta title field instead of the product title?

@imth3walrus

Hey Angi @amboutwe , do you know any filter I could use to change the output of product:availability and og:availability ? I have a few pre order products and in-stock would be the wrong availability for me. I was able to succesfully change it on schema but I'm at a loss in metadata and open graph

I'm trying to edit the og:url tag in the WordPress pagination for one of my sites, but I'm having trouble figuring it out. Can someone help me out?

Hi, the priority for the og:image is currently this:

  1. A user-defined image “Facebook image” in the Social tab of the Yoast metabox on the post/page level.
  2. A user-defined “Featured image” for the page (only for posts).
  3. A prominent image from the page’s content.
  4. The “Social default image” from the template in Search Appearance.
  5. The site’s fallback/default social image (set at SEO > Social > Facebook > Default image).

If you want the default social image (4) to have higher priority than (3) A prominent image from the page’s content, then you could use this code:

add_filter( 'wpseo_opengraph_image', 'dc_yoast_prefer_default_image_over_first_content_image', 10, 2 );
function dc_yoast_prefer_default_image_over_first_content_image( $img_url, $presentation ) {

	if ( !empty( $presentation ) && isset( $presentation->model ) && isset( $presentation->model->open_graph_image_source ) ) {

		if ( 'first-content-image' === $presentation->model->open_graph_image_source ) {
			
			$yoast_options = get_option( 'wpseo_social' );

			if ( !empty( $yoast_options['og_default_image'] ) ) {
				return trim( $yoast_options['og_default_image'] );
			} 
		}
	}
	
	return $img_url;
}

hi this is great work. if i wanted to simply edit the og: image to a secure_url.. ( facebook wont display an image from my url in the preview post. where would i find the original function/ filter?

@Glen-Dango As of Yoast SEO version 14.0 (released in Apr 2020), the plugin no longer outputs the og:image:secure_url.

If you mean that the og:image uses HTTP instead of HTTPS on a site that has an SSL certificate, the plugin uses the WordPress setup to determine HTTP or HTTPS. Please verify that WordPress is configured to use HTTPS under Admin > Settings > General for both the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL).

If one of these is configured for HTTP, please go to Admin > Tools > Site Health and expand the notification 'Your website does not use HTTPS' and click 'Update your site to use HTTPS'. WordPress will automatically update the database URLs.

If both use HTTPS and you still see HTTP in the source code, you may have something in your setup that overrides the URL. You can use this snippet to change http/https. The example changes one domain for another but you can change the search and replace parameters to fit your need like I've done with this similar example.
