TypeError when Open Graph image does not exist

[madebyherzblut]

Thanks for seomate—it is a well-built plugin! The one thing we run into quite often is a fatal type error when the og:image file does not exist. This happens when a developer pulls a SQL dump from the live environment into their dev environment.

Is there are a way to ignore the missing file?

Yes, seeing this as well and it's a bit frustrating. We are refing a global and when I pushed to staging the first time it happened since the image there didn't exist yet (using project config so field existed with no value).

Any fix for this?

Just released SEOMate v. 1.1.8, which should resolve this issue. Thanks for reporting!
