Hi —

I’m looking for a way to control what image and text snippet is being used by Linkedin when I add the url to a post. Right now it looks random, like something really down the home page. Anything I can do? TIA.

I found this post: https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/linkedin-image-pull/ but I don’t think I can find SEO > Social > Facebook > Default Settings in X, right?

I enabled Open Graph, but is there somewhere I can customize it?

Thanks.

I’d like to control what image and text snippet is being used when a user pastes the site’s address within a Linkedin (in this case) post. Right now, it’s picking an image and a bit of text that feels random, down the page. Ideally that’d be a setting option.

IOW, when you paste a link within a Linkedin post, there is a rich preview, with a thumbnail, and some text snippet; this is what I’m referring to.

I enabled Open Graph, and now it shows something less random (like the first image it finds and the page title, like “HOME”), that’s better, but is there a way I can control more precisely what’s being displayed in the preview (upon pasting the site url into a Linkedin post). Thanks!

Hi there,

You can try installing any SEO plugin that has Opengraph features (X Opengraph should be disabled). X’s Opengraph is just a basic one, any advance implementation should be handled by any SEO plugin or custom coding.

Thanks!

Ok, thanks a lot.

You’re welcome.
