Hide featured image

[Bart Daems]

Hello

When I share http://personalcoach4u.be to Linkedin it shows an image which is used in the website’s footer.

I setup the open graph settings correctly in Yoast plugin and for example on Facebook it shows the correct picture when I share the website.
I also waited more than 1 week for linkedIn to refresh it’s cache, but it still shows the wrong pic.

Therefore I tried to setop a featured image for the homepage, hoping linkedIn would pic this one up.
When I add the image, it’s all stretched out in the header of the homepage.

Is there a way I can add a feautured image to the hompage but hide it with css, so LinkedIn would pick up the right pic?

Thanks in advance,

KR,
Bart

Yes you can hide the image using custom CSS but not sure linkedin pick this pic up. You can give a try.

Pls go through these threads and see if it helps –

This didn’t make any difference since the treads were provided for another theme…
Can you please provide me css for hiding featured image on homepage only?

Thank you,

Which image you need to hide?

Hello

I want to set this image as featured image on my homepage and hide it with CSS:
http://personalcoach4u.be/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/facebook-delen.png

I hope that LinkedIn then picks this one up since now it’s picking up a wrong image of the footer.
Setup up OG in Yoast or waiting more than a week for LinkedIn to empty it’s cache did not make any solution.

Can you provide me the right CSS code to hide that specific image on the homepage please?

Thanks,
Regards,

Bart

Pls add the image in your home page first then only i ll able to provide required custom CSS.
And also pls try to add a css id for that particular image so that it will be easy for us to target the image.

[Bart Daems]

This I cannot do.
If I put a featured image in that homepage it’s all over the screen and totally stretched out.

I don’t want this to be visible for the clients until you guys have time to come over.

Then you can give us a temp login(as a private reply) to your site and specify where exactly you want to add the image so that we can login and add the same and ll add custom CSS in themeoptions.

.home img.featured {
    display: none;
}
