Wrong image displayed by LinkedIn Open Graph

Question

I'm trying to share http://gbgtechweek.com/ on my LinkedIn profile.

I have this meta tag:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://gbgtechweek.com/img/gbgtechweek_img.png" />

However, LinkedIn chooses to show another image from the page (http://gbgtechweek.com/img/goteborg00.jpg)

Is this because of the size, and how do I fix it?

I tried to update by using "?!" in the end, so LinkedIn would re-fetch the Open Graph data, but didn't work.

Any solutions?

Answer 1

LinkedIn can take the image from tag named 'oEmbed' despite og:image tag exists.

Here an exapmle:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/json+oembed" href="https://www.s-sols.com/api/oembed/1.0/embed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.s-sols.com%2Fhow-make-multipage-website">

And this JSON content contains ordinary image.

I faced with that problem in WordPress. The cure was to remove this tag as described here:

remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_oembed_add_discovery_links', 10);
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_oembed_add_host_js');
remove_action('rest_api_init', 'wp_oembed_register_route');
remove_filter('oembed_dataparse', 'wp_filter_oembed_result', 10);
