Default OG Image

Default OG Image sets a fallback Open Graph image for social media sharing when posts lack featured images. When someone shares your content on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, the social platform looks for an og:image tag. Without one, shares look unprofessional with generic placeholders or nothing at all. This module ensures every page on your site has a branded image for social sharing, falling back to your default when no post-specific image exists. Control how your content appears when shared.
