Image Dimension Specification

    Hi Chuck-

    Many of the images in our posts are 640×640, which look great when you upload them directly to FB. When we try to have FB grab those images from our page the image gets pretty significantly truncated.

    I saw there’s a way to specify image width and height in another site’s OG code:

    <meta property=”og:image:width” content=”500″ />
    <meta property=”og:image:height” content=”500″ />

    Can I modify your plugin’s code to indicate the 640×640 image dimensions in the OG tags so the entire image shows up when shared on FB?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Well because you’re using a square. FB changed the way they want images – their “best practices” says 1200×630.

    og:image – This is an image associated with your media. We suggest that you use an image of at least 1200×630 pixels.

    Or at a minimum you should have a 600×315 image size.

    They’ll always crop squares – and adding in the og:image:width/height won’t change anything.
