How to Display Image from Your Post or Page to Social Media Posts?

Hi Everyone,

Another WA member had a problem displaying the featured image of his blog post on social media postings. Whenever he updated his Google+, Facebook or Twitter account with his latest post, no image appears with that update.

The solution to this is simple.

This has to do with the OG Image setting. OG stands for Open Graph.

The easiest way is to install All In One SEO plugin. Go to the settings for Social Meta.

Under Image Settings > Select OG:Image Source.

Choose 'Featured Image' - this will pull the Featured Image on your blog post or page. Whenever and wherever you post your blog post or page, the Featured Image will now appear with the update. It will no longer be an empty image.

Remember to Update Options.

* Note: I use All In One SEO. I am sure Yoast will have the same capability too. Just look for the settings for Social Media or OG Settings.

Success to all! :)

My pleasure :)

This is something I would like to do. Unfortunately, even though I mentioned in my last comment that it is "nice and easy", i cannot find "the settings for Social Meta".

I looked under All-in-One SEO--->General Settings but didn't see it there.

Also tried Settings--> General and Appearace-->Editor

I am also tried to look quickly in a few other spots, but I see no sign of it.

Hey Craig,
Sorry I missed this comment.
Are you able to find the Social Meta settings?
If not, do let me know. I can send you some screen shots to guide you.

No problem!

Well, it was a while ago, so I honestly don't remember! Ha ha ha!
I think I did ultimately find it...

That's good. Let me know if you need further help. :)

Nice and easy.
Just how I like it!

Glad you like it, Craig. :)

You're most welcome Pat. Should you need further help or clarification about this, please feel free to leave a reply here.

Thanks for the tip, with the exception of google+, I always have to add a picture

Welcome Kenisha. :)
With this, there is no need.
You only need to have a Featured Image on your blog post. The setting will automatically pull that image whenever and wherever you share your posts.

E.g. I share on Scoop It - http://www.scoop.it/t/digital-marketing-singapore-consulta
