How to Change Twitter Link Photo

    I’m trying to figure out how to change the link preview photo on the Twitter cards when I tweet the link to my blog post. From what I’ve seen from my previous posts, Twitter picks up the last photo in my post. Is there a way I can set the photo on WordPress so that it appears correctly on Twitter (without it being the featured image, because book covers and other images look awkward at the very top of the post)?

    For example, I’d like the cover photo of the book to be shown, but instead I see my recommended book badge in the post below:

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi happilyhedy,

    Publicize looks for a featured image first and then other images in the following order (if that isn’t available):

    “Book Review: Teenage Journal: A Poetry Collection by MayAPoetBe” doesn’t have a featured image, so Publicize is looking for others.

    Both images in the post content are less than 480px x 480px so it would be great if you could try uploading a larger version of the book cover image — that will hopefully help Publicize to pick it up.

    Let me know how you get on.
