The OGP featured images element has been improved. This will be out in 5.3.1 very soon.
As with {{recentposts_visual}}
tag changes, this now has some sort of scanning of images also (via folders).
Also some more info:
- The old OGP plugin is still there but it’s now not used (deprecated). And will be removed from the manual.
- The new social_exposure feature has the output replacing the OGP placeholder in the layout file.
- There’s no need to add the social_exposure tag.
- The images used come from the media/opengraph directory with the pages coming from media/opengraph/page/
That also opens some space for future changes. - media/opengraph/page/ needs the page images. For each page an image is loaded from here (or a default /media/branding/pulse5_banner.jpg is used as set in settings)
- There are more options in settings for social media keys and accounts if needed
- The old OGP isn’t used anymore. I don’t know if anyone might be using it in a custom layout though.
- This is not a tag and will auto add this as per the
<!-- OGP PLACEHOLDER -->
in your theme. - It’s possible to use this in the layout if someone replaced the OGP placeholder with the tag though.
Thanks for the feedback on this and hope this makes your live’s easier adding OGP data for sharing your sites + posts on social media!
