Whew… so a part of it seems to be changing my images in my Schema Structured Data… which still says the image has to be 300×300 but which only displays if the image is 1200 x something… 1200×672 looks GREAT.
Thank you So SO much Chusbas 🙂
I think I’m getting there… We’ll see. I’m about to test the image…
okay, I see what you’re saying. When Google says 1200 or greater… then for my fingernail picture… which really can’t be cropped to be 675 high and still show the whole fingernail… does that mean I should … I’m so unclear… Do I have to make the picture much bigger to get the height to show… or, is this why catalog pictures often have white space added on the sides of images???
Oh how cool, you already answered… I’ll go apply this. Thank you so so much
chusbas…
Do you know if I apply the given ratios to my images, will the full image show? Right now my images show the full width, but not the full height, so many of my images have the crucial bit cut off…I’m unclear, does AMPforWP automatically input the JASON-LD markup language for our pages… based on… ???
I’m trying this video re Google Assistant and AMP to try to understand … more
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcFe0Rj2pW4Hi Chusbas, I just found your very helpful reply. Thank you.
the only trouble is it’s above my comprehension level.
I don’t know the difference between AMP pages and stories…I’ll read the article you link. But so far today, when I was going to diligently change all my featured images, I found that the whole image, at 1200 pixels wide, does not show when posted on Twitter or Facebook… the width shows… but not the height… so my images are cut off leaving the embedded wording cut off…
I’m unclear how to comply, and still have images that are fully visible…
I am now going to start changing each of my featured images to 1200 pixels, across. Over my 5 sites, that’s about 500 images… But I’ll start with my health site which is the most views…
Maybe this will encourage Google to start showing my site in search results again…
Who knows?
I thought about how different sized images would all become 1200 pixels across, and that seemed like it would be efficient with no drawbacks. But, I forgot about overall weight…
Do we know, for sure, whether the overall pixel count has an upper limit?
I was really surprised to see my 1200 pixel featured images on my desktop pages showing up clearly on social media.
Google no longer ranks my pages high enough for it to matter. I think several months ago I asked for a change, which was briefly made, then removed because it caused so many errors for others… and I didn’t check my pages in search console. All my visible pages were fine, but something had made a hundred non existent “pages” with bits of words as if the same url had been fragmented dozens of different ways. Since I didn’t catch the huge number of 404 pages, I’m thinking Google decided to downgrade my site permanently. I’m shattered. But… what can I do?
I tried several things this morning and found that a 1200 pixel featured image shows up perfectly on Facebook when the page is linked, so too on Twitter.
I can keep my smaller images at the top of my pages.
So, I’m thinking AMPforWP could initiate automatically changing the featured image to 1200 pixels…
Here’s the page where I recorded my “study’ : https://off-grid-insights.com/featured-image-1200-pixels-problem/
Hi,
Well, after a lot of testing it appears that the Featured Item function behaves differently than it used to.
When I put a 1200 pixel image into my Featured Item box, it displays properly on Facebook and Twitter when the page is linked…It looks as if I have to change all my featured items, which will take a bit of time, but not as much as I’d previously imagined when I thought I had to change both the featured image and the image at the top of my pages…
Here’s the page I did when I was testing:

As an aside, did your views drop dramatically today? or is it just me. My most viewed page has gone from 250 views yesterday at this time, to 25 today. 🙁
I think you’re understanding of the problem/situation is right on target. I’ll do do that now. re, single page.
