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.
