Set the social / Open Graph image per post

What it is

AISA lets you set a specific social (Open Graph / Twitter) image for an individual post or page. If you leave it empty, the post falls back to the featured image (or the site default). The value is stored in the _aisa_og_image post meta; in integration mode AISA can also auto-fill the social image from the featured/content image when one is missing, so your shares always have a picture.

Where to find it

In the Standalone SEO block there's an "Image social (Open Graph / Twitter)" picker: a URL field with Choose (opens the WordPress media library) and a clear (✕) button, plus a thumbnail preview. The helper text reflects the site mode — "manual" mode treats this image as the social preview, otherwise it notes the fallback to featured/default. In the floating panel, applying fields will auto-fill the OG/Twitter image if it is missing.

Requirements & tier

  • The picker appears in the AISA standalone SEO block; the media library loads for the chooser.
  • Auto-fill of the social image from the featured/content image runs in integration mode (Bulk, 1-Click and panel) when none is set.
  • Empty field = use the featured image / site default.

How to use

  1. Open the post/page and scroll to the social image picker.
  2. Press Choose and select an image from the media library, or paste an image URL.
  3. Check the thumbnail preview.
  4. Leave it empty to fall back to the featured image / default, or press ✕ to clear.
  5. Save the post — AISA stores the per-post OG image (empty clears the meta).

Questions people ask

  • What happens if I leave it empty? The post uses the featured image, or the site default if there's no featured image.
  • Does AISA set a social image automatically? In integration mode, if none is set, AISA auto-fills the OG/Twitter image from the featured or content image during Bulk, 1-Click and panel apply.
  • Is this Open Graph only, or Twitter too? It feeds the social preview for both Open Graph and Twitter cards.
  • What's "manual" mode? When the site's OG mode is manual, this per-post image is the social preview; otherwise it overrides the featured/default fallback just for this content.
  • Where do I set a site-wide default? In standalone, under Settings → Social & SEO (default social image plus per-content overrides).

Troubleshooting

  • The picker isn't visible. It shows in the AISA standalone SEO block; make sure the block is rendering on this post type.
  • Choose button does nothing. The media library must load; reload the editor so the media scripts initialise.
  • Old image still shared. Social platforms cache previews; clear their cache after changing the image.
  • Cleared image but it reappears. An empty field falls back to the featured image / default by design.
