Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you’re facing. Yes, it is possible to set a custom image field as the default social share image for your case study post type. You can achieve this by using Rank Math’s filter to override the first image in the post and make the default Open Graph thumbnail the Open Graph/Social Preview image.
Here’s the filter you can use:
add_filter('rank_math/opengraph/pre_set_content_image', function() {
return true;
});
By adding this filter, you can ensure that the default Open Graph thumbnail will be used as the social share image for your case study post type.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with this, please feel free to let us know.
Best regards.

Looking forward to helping you.
Hi Reinelle,
This is not what I require, sorry. I want to use a custom image field as the default social image on a specific custom post type, rather than have to go and add a social image to each one.
I am not really sure what this code has done on the site.
Cheers,
Matt
Hello,
If you are using ACF to add the custom fields, you can use the following filter:
add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/image", function( $attachment_url ) {
if(get_post_type() == 'post type name') { //name of the post type
$attachment_url = get_field('field-name', get_queried_object_id()); //name of the custom field
return $attachment_url;
}
return $attachment_url;
});
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thanks,
I actually created them with JetEngine which is somewhat similar. I have added the below code to auto add the tag for this post type. Thanks for the assistance.
add_action('wp_head','banner_image_opengraph');
function banner_image_opengraph() {
if(get_post_type() == 'case_study') { //name of the post type
$attachment_url = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'banner-image', true); //name of the custom field
echo "<meta property='og:image' content=$attachment_url>";
}
}
Cheers,
Matt
