# Social / Open Graph Sharing

The Social screen controls how your pages look when someone shares them on social platforms. It sets a default share image (used for Open Graph and Twitter/X cards) and holds your per-platform account details, so links to your site show a clean, branded card instead of a random crop or blank preview.

## How To Set Up Social / Open Graph Sharing?

The screen is split into four sub-tabs: **Default Social Image**, **Facebook**, **X**, and **Other Accounts**.

- Start on the **Default Social Image** tab.

- Use the **Upload Your File** dropzone to add a default share image. The recommended size is **1200 x 630 px**, and **JPG or PNG** files are supported.

- Confirm the selected image in the **Preview** thumbnail next to the uploader.

- Move through the **Facebook**, **X**, and **Other Accounts** tabs to add your platform accounts and profile links.

- Click **Save** at the top right.

### Default Social Image tab

| Setting | What it does |
| ------- | ------------ |
| Default Image (Upload Your File) | Sets the fallback share image used when a page has no image of its own. Recommended 1200 x 630 px, JPG or PNG. |
| Preview | Thumbnail of the currently selected default image. |
| Save | Stores the social settings across the site. |

 

### Facebook, X, and Other Accounts tabs

These sub-tabs hold your social profile and account details, used to link and identify your brand across platforms (for example profile URLs and platform-specific handles). Fill in the accounts you use and leave the rest blank.

 

#### Good To Know

- The default image is a fallback. If a specific page has its own featured or social image, that image is used for that page instead of the default.

- Stick to the 1200 x 630 px size. It matches the Open Graph aspect ratio, so your image fills the card cleanly on Facebook, LinkedIn, and X without awkward cropping.

- Set a default image even if you plan to add per-page images later. It guarantees every shared link has a usable preview from day one.

 

#### Troubleshooting

- **My share still shows the old image.** Social platforms cache previews. Re-scrape the URL in the platform's sharing debugger (for example Facebook's Sharing Debugger) to force a refresh.

- **The card shows a blank or wrong image.** Confirm a Default Social Image is uploaded and saved, and that the page does not have a conflicting per-page image set elsewhere.

- **My upload is rejected.** Only JPG and PNG are supported here. Convert other formats before uploading.
