CircaCitadel Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 I'm glad to see og:image tags added for forums, it was much needed. But I'm surprised it wasn't added for pages as well. Is there a reason this isn't a feature, or is it possible to be added? We have a few pages I'd love to have special OG images for when sharing. Umaar 1
Dreadknux Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) The Record Image field in a Pages database provides the correct og image for external linking. Just make sure the field is enabled in your Database (AdminCP > Pages > Your Database > Fields and then the ‘Record Image’ field under “Publish Fields”). Then, for each Page record, you just select Edit, find the image field, upload up it desired image to the field and then save. 🙂 Edited July 27, 2023 by Dreadknux Ibai 1
opentype Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 I think the issue is Pages pages without Pages databases put on them. Ibai 1
Marc Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 Could you please link to the page in question, then I can take a look to advise?

opentype Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 It would be a nice feature request for 5.x. But for 4.x, there is just OG:images for database records, not pages themselves. The latter are just empty containers to put stuff onto them. Marc 1

This is indeed the case at present, so left here for the feedback of course 🙂

A better system would be awesome, but you can add og images to custom pages via the meta tag editor in the Admin CP. It works well for a handful of pages, but would be tedious for a large list. @Marc Stridgen it would be really nice to have the meta tag editor built into the block editor for working with live pages that don't have a database. That way I can just add the details I want when creating the page.
