    Looking for hook or filter to map an ACF image in a CPT to the Thumbnail Facebook uses when sharing the post.

    I have thousands of Obituaries in a custom post type. Within these CPTs I have an ACF Field, “profile_picture”. I would like to make this image the default image Facebook uses when sharing to Facebook. I realize I can change it manually in the Snippet Preview Editor but the client would like to pull the “profile_picture” as the default automatically.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and bringing your concern to our attention.

    Assuming the custom field profile_picture will return an absolute image path, you may refer to this filter code below:

    add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/image", function( $attachment_url ) {
	global $post;
	$new_image_url = get_field('profile_picture', $post->ID);

	if($new_image_url){
		$attachment_url = $new_image_url;
	}

  return $attachment_url;
});

    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
