Can someone provide guidance on setting up custom attributes on Webflow for generating thumbnail images when sharing on social media?

Setting up custom attributes on Webflow for generating thumbnail images when sharing on social media requires a few steps. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to set up the custom attributes for the thumbnail image.

2. Select the HTML element that represents the thumbnail image. This could be an image element, a div with a background image, or any other element you want to use as the thumbnail.

3. In the Settings panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer, scroll down to the "Attributes" section.

4. Click on the "+ Add Attribute" button to add a new custom attribute.

5. Enter the following attribute names and values:

• Name: og:image
• Value: Direct URL of the image you want to use as the thumbnail. This should be a specific image that you have uploaded to your Webflow project or hosted on another server.

1. (Optional) If you want to specify the width and height of the thumbnail image, you can add two more custom attributes:

• Name: og:image:width

• Value: Width of the image in pixels

• Name: og:image:height

• Value: Height of the image in pixels

  Note: The width and height attributes are not required, but they can provide additional information to social media platforms for better thumbnail rendering.

1. Save your changes and repeat this process on other pages where you want to set up custom attributes for thumbnail images.

By setting up custom attributes like og:image, you're providing social media platforms with specific information about the thumbnail image to use when someone shares your webpage. This ensures that the shared content is accompanied by the desired thumbnail image and improves the visual representation when your webpage is shared on social media platforms.

Remember to validate your custom attributes by using the Open Graph Object Debugger tool provided by Facebook. Simply enter the URL of your webpage and the tool will display how the thumbnail image will appear when shared.
