Make image Size configurable

    Hello,
    I came across an issue: Whatsapp and Signal also use the OG Data to select a preview image. But the default image size ‘full’ is too big, so no image is shown. Changing the size to ‘large’ fixes the issue since it serves a smaller image.

    I am not sure if ‘full’ is really useful in the og data anyway – but it would be helpful to at least make the size configurable somewhere 🙂

    My current solution is to run sed after each upgrade (which is managable but slightly inconenient)

    sed -i -e "s;'full';'large';g" class-iworks-opengraph.php

    Greetings, Ulrich

    hi @uk03

    Nice catch.

    Please update. Version 3.2.1 have new filter og_image_size – it allows to changing size. String or array 😀

    Thank you!

    Suggested mu-plugin:

    <?php
add_filter( 'og_image_size', function( $size ) {
    return 'large';
});

    Hi,

    Wow, this was fast.

    But somehow i might be to dumb to use it properly. Where should I define the filter.

    (inside the themes function.php somehow does not work?)

    Ok, figured it out myself.

    For reference if someone else needs it:
    put it in a php-file in wp-content/mu-plugins
    then it gets loaded before the plugin.

    Hello, I also have this problem on OG — Better Share on Social Media, as Yoast SEo does not properly handle opengraph. I installed OG and when I noticed this problem with the image size, I uninstalled it and stayed with Yoast. However, the problem did not go away. In facebook debug, the image appears in the correct size when sharing a link, but in instagram messenger it does not. How could I fix this?

    hi @mhb

    Please create another ticket. This one is resolved.

    I uninstalled it and stayed with Yoast.

    How can I help if you are using yoast?
