Hi Michael
Thanks for your reply.
If that’s the case, why don’t you include these instructions clearly in your plugin? Unless it says that in addition to the plugin social settings, the social media platform settings must also be changed (what and how), I fully rely on the plugin.
I think that’s a no-brainer, but rather a hidden shortcoming of the plugin.
Even regarding the size of the image, the linked article actually says:
You can add the og:image tag manually into the <head> section on every page of your website, or you can try out a plugin like Yoast SEO for WordPress, which handles the code and implementation for you.
Precisely. I use your plugin to handle the code and whatever else needs to be changed FOR ME. With no further instructions – that’s the outcome I expect. Click and collect.
If I wanted to do everything manually, first I would spend my time to find out what and how to change as at this point I don’t have a clue and no time to learn all this, and then once I have done that I wouldn’t bother to use your plugin. Makes sense?
And also in the same aricle first it says:
Images previews for shared links are scaled to fill a box of 476 pixels wide by 249 pixels tall. and it shows the outcome I am now getting on FB.
and then it says:
For most all image orientations — square, horizontal (landscape), and vertical (portrait) — the thumbnail will be scaled and cropped to fit a 158 x 158-pixel square. and it shows the outcome I WANT to achieve.
So….which one is it?? Even this article is confusing as it doesn’t explain what to change and how to get the second outcome and not the first.
Anyway – coming back to your plugin – please include these additional instructions. You are encouraging people to buy the pricey Premium version so that they can see the preview of how the link will show on social media – while unless they also fix what you are NOT saying needs to be fixed, the preview won’t change a thing.
