• Hello,

    When I try to share my posts a general link back to my site comes up. How do I have the title of the post, the link back to the post itself and possibly an image show up?

    Thank You

  • Hello.

    This most likely happens because you haven’t set featured images to your posts. Add a featured image to each post and it will be pulled when sharing the item.

    I posted this answer on another forum topic…my featured image gets cut off so I don’t add one…also the title of the post doesn’t show when I share.

    If the theme doesn’t handle this then try a plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/og/

    Is there a way to change the size of the maximum for featured images?

    Even better where in the code do I change so that the featured image doesnt show up in the posts at all (actual page and front page) but only is used when sharing…is this an option?

    You can try this

    function change_feat_image_size() {
      set_post_thumbnail_size( 665, 435, true );
    }
    add_action('after_setup_theme', 'change_feat_image_size', 20);

    in your child theme’s functions.php file, set the image size you want and then install the Regenerate thumbnails plugin, activate it and go to Tools -> Regen. Thumbnails to run a regeneration in order for the change to be applied.

    And this will NOT have the featured image show on the home page and post page?

    No, this will change the size of the featured image.

    Is there a way to have the featured image not show up on the home page and post page? I just need to so that an image is displayed for sharing.
