meta og:image for post

jumpelzg · January 2016

hey!

i want to set a facebook meta og:image tag in the header adequate to each post.
What function shall I call in this tag to make it happen?

The meta tag in which I want to exchange XXX with a URL to featured image:
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php XXX ?>" />

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

you can try to use WP Facebook Open Graph plugin. However, if this plugin won't be helpful, we do not have other

@muffingroup: hey, I was using it before, but it's not what I want to make.

I just want to known what's the function name which calls the URL of featured photo in single post.

"mfn_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID() );" calls whole div with the URL and I want to know which function calls pure URL to the thumbnail/featured photo...

@muffingroup: I've tried

<meta property="og:image" content="<?php $large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $postID ), 'large' ); echo $large_image_url[0]; ?>" />

and it looks like a working one

Like you mentioned, for single post page, we use mfn_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID() ); and because there is few exceptions for that function, we suggest to check this function under functions/theme-functions.php file.

We are glad to hear that your solution works.
