Manipulating Social Media Image

[mlennox10]

Hi,

When sharing the website on our social platforms it pulls through a random image – is there anyway to choose which image is pulled through?

I noticed this topic: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/featured-image# and wasn’t sure if the Yoast SEO plugin would allow me to choose an image for different pages or if it would just let me chose one for the homepage?

Thanks

Its usually not random, its the first image. Here’s some decent info on the subject: https://www.facebook.com/notes/hyperarts-web-design/set-up-your-website-to-control-images-text-in-facebook-status-update-links/10150320031290844

Thanks, for this. Is there anyway of choosing which image is pulled through? It’s ignoring the logo in the header and any hero image and just going for the first image in the body, which isn’t ideal.

Did you read the link I gave you. It explains it. There’s nothing in Kleo that controls this. Its not a function of the theme.

I’m actually looking more at LinkedIn so I didn’t know if it would be any different to Facebook. Have you heard of this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ it was suggested to help with all social sites.

Thanks

Of course. That’s what most of us use.

Thanks, do you know if I can set an image for each page for social media or if it’s for the site in general?

Not sure to be honest. Perhaps you should ask them.
