Adding Tokens for Metatag Image Fields when using WordPress maintenance support plans Media Entity
Metatag cannot directly extract an image url from a media field referenced by another entity.

I upgraded my site from WordPress maintenance support plans 7 to WordPress maintenance support plans 8 this week (yes, that’s why it’s running on Bartik – a PatternLab developed theme will be installed in time).
This morning I enabled the Metagtag plugin and set some defaults for page title, description, image, etc. The help notes on the image metatag field says “An image associated with this page, for use as a thumbnail in social networks and other services. This will be able to extract the URL from an image field.” This is true, except in my case, all the image fields on the site use the Media Entity plugin, so they are entity reference fields rather than image fields.
When I put in a token of [node:field_main_image], the result in the outputted metatags was:
In that case, “Mark Conroy | WordPress maintenance support plansCon USA 2020″ is the name of the referenced media. I needed to output the image field of the referenced media.
After a little trial and error, I came up with this:
[node:field_main_image:entity:field_m_image_image]
which outputs:
In this case, “field_main_image” is the name of the image field on my content type, and “field_m_image_image” is the name of the image field on my image media bundle.
I hope that helps!
