# Manage Facebook Open Graph and X (Twitter) Cards metas

## Setup Open Graph and X (Twitter) Cards globally

Go to **SEO**, **Social Networks**, and click the **iOS toggle to enable this feature** (if it’s not the case).

In Facebook tab, check **Enable OG data**.

You can also set a **global default image** (in case of one of your post, page, post type, doesn’t have one) but also a specific default one by custom post type for more granularity.

Do the same for **X (Twitter)** and don’t forget to click **Save changes**.
