Sorry this took a while. I kept getting errors and it took me some time to figure out that there was a problem with the SSL certificate that wasn’t showing up in my browser. It took even longer to then find all the bits and pieces I needed to make it work correctly.
Now everything’s working again, yay!
I know what Twitter Cards are, and I’m already using them with another plugin. But what I mean is to have the image directly attached to the tweet. That way, it shows up in the tweet stream even without people clicking on the tweet. A Twitter Card doesn’t do that.
Tweets with images are much more likely to be clicked, which is why you see many media companies use them directly, rather than relying on people to click so they can see the Twitter Card.

In reply to: [Add Meta Tags] Image chosen for Twitter card should be the featured imageInteresting! It seems that Twitter isn’t following its own spec. If you plug this URL
https://eagereyes.org/blog/2015/the-island-of-knowledge-and-the-shoreline-of-wonder into the card validator https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator it shows the correct (featured) image.In the actual tweet, it picks a different one, though: https://twitter.com/eagereyes_feed/status/551955771760463872
Very odd. Thanks for the clarification!

In reply to: WP no longer generates different image sizesOkay, turns out php-gd was missing. I had not remembered that I actually set up a new VPS about two months ago because of issues with the old one.
It would be helpful if WP would complain if something like this was missing, though.
