Today we posted a story for Hidden Brain that has a small featured image. If you look at the source for that page (https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/the-fake-bride/) you’ll see that some of the metadata for the featured image is coming through properly. Note, for instance, that the alt text associated with that image comes through as <meta property=”og:image:alt” content=”jane mickelson”>
The image itself, though, is overwritten by the default image that we use when we don’t have a featured image. The desired behavior would be to toggle to a small card and crop to square. I suspect your code is looking for a medium or large crop type of the image and can’t find it, so it just assumes there is no image, rather than looking for a thumbnail or the raw image if those preferred crop types don’t exist.
Is this, as I suspect, a known bug that you’re working on? Or is there a work-around on my end besides finding a giant image?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
I’ve checked your post using Twitter Card Validator tool, and it’s showing the constellation image, which I believe is the default image you have set in OpenGraph Thumbnail.
However, the post’s source code shows that in the
og:imageandtwitter:imagetags. The Featured Image you have set should take priority over the default image set in Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Global Meta.If that’s the case, could you please ensure the featured image you are using has the required dimensions for Open Graph?
Width: Min 200px & Max 2000px Height: Min 200px & Max 2000pxI hope that helps.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
