    Hi there!

    When sharing a post to social media, most of the platforms try and pull an image into the preview. The image will typically be the featured image on the post/page. This, however, will depend on the platform itself, in this case, Twitter.

    For Twitter to display an image on your shared post, you must first validate your site to use Twitter Cards. You’ll do that by going to this link:

    https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator

    This will need to be done for each Card Type by submitting a post example for each. For example, if your post has a gallery, Twitter will share it as a Gallery Card, this Card Type would need to be validated.
