In my wordpress blog, I would like to select a featured image so that when url is shared on social network like facebook it has an image. but I do not want that image to show up on the page or the post of website.
You should modify the template responsible for post visualisation and add the OpenGraph meta tag.
Here's the documentation:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters#markup
The tag you need is "og:image":
<meta property="og:image" content="<your image path>" />
It is not a big problem. There are lot of plugins from wordpress by which you can set featured image for any posts.
Here is the link to the plugin
Featured image plugin
you have to modify the single.php file and page.php file.
You can remove the code segment that show featured image from the above two files.
also there are some plugin may do this functionality,
you can check this, But I haven't check this one.

I am working on a news page with wordpress, and currently I am having an issue with the meta tag og:image.
This tag on the source code, always shows the correct featured image on the url. But when I ty to share it on facebook, sometimes it is showing a different image on the content, Not the featured image. I've tried everything but I can't understand what is causing the issue. I am using sage theme on wordpress so I don't know if it could be blade cache.
So I create a new post in Wordpress.
I use the Gutenberg image block to upload an image.
When I scrape the post at the Facebook sharing debugger it displays another random image from my library and tells me no og:image is set.
There's only one image -- how to add the og:image tag?
The og:image tag will contain only the "featured image" of your WP post. If there is no featured image, social media sites will probably use/display the first "regular" image appearing in your post, but there's no guarantee for that.
You might want to use the "Yoast" plugin, this will most likely try to achieve this automatically.
Is there a way from which I can use any plugin and show Post or Page specific image gallery? The image gallery upload area should be displayed in Page when Creating or Editing the page below or above the text composer or should be at least in the page. And this gallery should not be hocked the default Image gallery of wordpress or at least should not show the images that's in default gallery.
Kindly let me know if anybody knows any plugin that does the above mentioned job.
You can do this simply by [gallery] shortcode. You can also set image ids like this: [gallery ids="729,732,731,720"]
Here is my answer: All my requirement got fulfilled by default "Media Library" tab. I just need to select the option "Uploaded to this page" from the dropdown. So, no need to use any plugin for the requirement I had.
if i share the blog post in facebook it shows the following like image. My blog in wordpress and i also check in the facebook debug mode.
in facebook debug mode it shows the following error
Check you theme header for tag
<meta property="og:image" content="http://../share.jpg" />
If you this tag are missing you should add this and add link to static image or post featured image.
If you find this tag twice, you should remove one. Also this can be fixed by installing Yoast SEO plugin.
How would I add a custom meta box to my Wordpress theme that allows users to add a link to an external page from the featured image? I have a slider set up that pulls featured images from a custom post type and I'd like to be able to add an external link from that.
Thanks!
