@Madchatthew no, you just need to be in NodeBB root

Hi Mark,
This title may not be relevant so feel free to change it.
I’m looking to add an image so when I post to social profiles etc it displays an image instead of the NodeBB logo.
How do I achieve this?
Many thanks

@jac Good question. I raised something similar on the NodeBB community
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15650/default-image-when-sharing-topics-posts
but, I never got a response - however, there is an OG image (Open Graph) which you can apply at
/admin/settings/general
Which (I think) should give you a default image (which you of course specify by uploading) for sharing on social media.
EDIT - on checking, this does indeed work. Once the image is applied, the Open Graph tags are present in each post - see below

@jac I just tested my theory around using the OG image, and according to the Twitter card validator, it works fine
