    As the topic title states when someone shares my post using the twitter button the post shares to twitter (X) but with the incorrect image. There are no issues when sharing this post to Facebook. My twitter card has no issues and I’ve cleared Bluehost cache Any suggestions?

    Based on what you’ve shared, it appears that you’re seeing the incorrect image being shared on Twitter even though the correct image is shared on Facebook. While this is unusual, it can happen if the specific meta tags for Twitter (twitter:image) are not consistent with the default Open Graph (og:image) meta tags.

    Here are a few steps you can take to rectify this:

    1. First, you should check if the twitter:image meta tag in your post’s HTML head section is referencing the correct image. You can view the source code of your webpage (right-click anywhere on your webpage > “view page source” or “inspect”) and look for the line <meta property="twitter:image" content="..." />. The URL in the content section should be the URL of the desired image.
    2. If the image URL is correct in the twitter:image meta tag, then it would be best to verify if the image meets Twitter’s card requirements. Please ensure that the image is less than 5MB in size and adheres to the aspect ratio recommended by Twitter (between 2:1 and 1:1).
    3. Finally, after making any changes, remember to validate your Twitter card again with Twitter’s card validator tool and clear your Bluehost cache.
