To get the Twitter preview image to display in Webflow, you need to follow a few steps:

  1. Add a media image field to your Collection: If you're using a Collection to populate your content in Webflow, make sure you have a media field where you can upload your Twitter preview image.

  2. Upload the image: Once you've added the media image field to your Collection, upload the desired Twitter preview image to each item in your Collection. Make sure the image follows the recommended size and dimensions for Twitter preview (recommended size: 1200 x 630 pixels).

  3. Configure the Open Graph settings: Webflow allows you to set up Open Graph settings for your website. Open the Page Settings panel for the specific page you want to add the Twitter preview image to.

  4. Add the Twitter Card metadata: Within the Page Settings panel, go to the SEO section and add the necessary Twitter Card metadata. Specify the image URL by using the dynamic data option to retrieve the image directly from the Collection.

  5. Check your image URL: Ensure that the image URL you're using is valid and accessible. You can do this by copy-pasting the URL into your browser and checking if the image loads correctly.

  6. Preview and test: With all the setup complete, preview your page and test the Twitter preview by sharing your page on Twitter using the URL. It may take a few minutes for Twitter to fetch the updated metadata and display the preview correctly.

By following these steps, you should be able to get the Twitter preview image to display in Webflow. Remember to regularly test and verify the functionality to ensure your Twitter previews are consistent and engaging.
