Full image size?

    I’ve noticed that the large image size of the post featured image is used rather than the full image size. This means that if my default image to use is larger than the large size I have in my settings, Facebook will default to that, when I really want it to default to my featured image.

    Is there any way to use the full size of the featured image instead of the large version?

    I’m a little confused… I’m assuming your featured image isn’t big enough to meet FB’s min requirements? https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#images

    Facebook will display any large image regardless of what OG: tags tell it to display so either way they seem to pull whatever they want.

    The original is, but the downsized Large image size is smaller than my default image on the plugin settings page.

    When I checked the HTML, it looked like the Large image was being used as the open graph image, rather than the full size version.

    The behavior I’ve seen on Facebook is that they always default to the largest image provided by OG tags. Which, in my case, is the default image.

    In testing, I briefly switched to JetPack’s OG setup. In examining the HTML again, they used the full size image rather than the large version. But they don’t provide a default thumbnail like your plugin does.

    Does that all make sense?
