Make image Size configurable

Hello,
I came across an issue: Whatsapp and Signal also use the OG Data to select a preview image. But the default image size ‘full’ is too big, so no image is shown. Changing the size to ‘large’ fixes the issue since it serves a smaller image.

I am not sure if ‘full’ is really useful in the og data anyway – but it would be helpful to at least make the size configurable somewhere 🙂

My current solution is to run sed after each upgrade (which is managable but slightly inconenient)
```
sed -i -e "s;'full';'large';g" class-iworks-opengraph.php
```
Greetings, Ulrich

hi @uk03

Nice catch.

Please update. Version 3.2.1 have new filter og_image_size – it allows to changing size. String or array 😀

Thank you!

Suggested mu-plugin:
```
<?php
add_filter( 'og_image_size', function( $size ) {
    return 'large';
});
```

Hi,

Wow, this was fast.

But somehow i might be to dumb to use it properly. Where should I define the filter.

(inside the themes function.php somehow does not work?)

Ok, figured it out myself.

For reference if someone else needs it:
put it in a php-file in wp-content/mu-plugins
then it gets loaded before the plugin.

Hello, I also have this problem on OG — Better Share on Social Media, as Yoast SEo does not properly handle opengraph. I installed OG and when I noticed this problem with the image size, I uninstalled it and stayed with Yoast. However, the problem did not go away. In facebook debug, the image appears in the correct size when sharing a link, but in instagram messenger it does not. How could I fix this?

hi @mhb

Please create another ticket. This one is resolved.

I uninstalled it and stayed with Yoast.

How can I help if you are using yoast?
