    I’ve looked, but I can’t seem to find reference for this.

    here is the page, the post in facebook is not being cropped. I just want a simple center image based crop on these posts. How do I get it to show right?

  • I’m not sure I understand your question (and to be honest, it’s not really a question about WordPress, right?).

    The og:image tag references /wp-content/uploads/2018/08/pexels-photo-97077.jpeg which is 1920×1280 px.
    This type of image will typically not be cropped at all in the web UI, but may be cropped a bit on mobile platforms. See https://developers.facebook.com/ for more information.

    I apologize deeply, and respect the quick response. My language was poor.

    Hopefully, my deeper explanation will serve you.

    I’m looking to try and crop my images for display on a multitude of social networks. Ofcourse, the ability to customize this would be powerful, but a default crop would also equally help. I figure this was within the scope of Yoast. Since they provide the meta-tags. My theme, automatically crops the image. In the link I provided, the image is not displayed. I set it with the post “feature image” selection.

    I’m not to particular about the final result, but I’d like to the post to be cropped in a reasonable manor to meet Facebooks needs. As such, my headers and such to my articles could be automatically converted into the proper standard.

    With this goal in mind, I’m looking to arbitrarily crop the image in a way that makes the most impact to the end Facebook User. I’m wondering if I can configure this cropping behavior or am stuck with Yoasts current methods.

    This unspecified cropping of main post images should accommodate the variation between many different social networks, that I’m likely to engage. I’m not particular about the cropping method. Just hope it makes a reasonable amount of sense and looks good.

    Yoast SEO does not automatically crop or provide cropping options. However, it does offer you the option to upload/select pre-cropped images that meet Facebook and Twitter standards. You can specify them under the social section.
