Support » Plugin: WP Twitter Auto Publish » Twitter ignoring twitter image tag

    Further to this thread https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-post-with-og-image/
    To sum up: using Twitter Auto Publish, Twitter is ignoring twitter:image url to full size image and is using 1st thumbnail in any WP gallery. Resulting image is blurry as it’s enlarged from this.

    If I post the WP post link to Twitter (or the validator) the twitter:image tag is obeyed and the image used is the full size one and is sharp.

    More significantly, if I use another Twitter auto posting plugin the twitter:image tag is obeyed.

    Therefore it must be that however you are encoding the WP post that your plugin sends to Twitter it must be doing something wrong!

    The most recent, sharp version is by another plugin. Scroll down for the older version by your plugin and you see it is very blurry. (I don’t see any way to post links to the individual tweets here)

  • As i already mentioned in https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-post-with-og-image/ ,WP Twitter Auto Publish won’t post the og:image ,if you set Attach image to twitter post setting to YES.
    But if you want a clickable preview then you can set Attach image to twitter post setting to No and include {PERMALINK} in message format,then twitter will fetch your og:image/twitter:image (as thumbnail of the shared permalink).
    The preview image and contents will depend only on the twitter:image and other twitter card tags.
    And we don not fetch any wp gallery image or featured image in this case.

    Only it doesn’t. There is no image if you select ‘NO’. Anyway I don’t care anymore as it works fine with the other plugin!

    @digbymaass What is the plugin that you are having success with? I would like to find a plugin that posts to Twitter and include the featured image.
