Well, if it counts for anything, I'm looking for info on how to do this as well.

Totally unrelated to Squarespace, I’ve also noticed recently Facebook’s UI for doing a manually entered post has been going through some changes (mostly on the browser FB interface). It used be that you could enter a url and it would be parsed and the resulting link would display down below. You could then delete the url (which are ugly text) and the link and it’s image (if it had one) would stay down below in your post. That seems to have changed recently. What we’re all seeing could end up being something FB changed recently ... but I can’t explain Pepijn seeing oddities with twitter as well. But it related to the openGraph parameters and the odd err msg about fb:app_id ???

Well, I came to the circle forum this morning to see if anyone else was seeing any recent odd behaviors with their page’s social images showing up correctly. Sounds like I seeing the same thing as pepino above. My cases are allFacebook related but on two different SpSp websites and fiddling with both mobile and browser Facebook interfaces I seeing black rectangles instead of my page’s social media image. I seen old posts that displayed properly 2 weeks ago (approx) that today have turned to black rectangles. I can also confirm when making new FB link posts yesterday FB was displaying black rectangle when I could go and confirm the Social media image was set properly in SqSp. So mark me down as having the same or similar problem. (Note: I’d share an example but I have to end up deleting the fb posts as they’re not working. Anybody else?

FWIW ... I removed the "Featured Post" status on 1 of my 6 Featured Posts and for right now anyway it's working the way I like (it scrolls through banner photos of my 5 featured posts). This is a sad hack work around and presumes I'll never write another awesome (i.e., Featured) post. Still interested in hearing from any and all 7.0 Bedford blogging experts. Oh, and I even added an (imperfect FEATURED menu link that just links to /blog.

Site URL: https://overCurious.org I'm relatively new to SqSp blogging but publishing for 3 months now. For this site I'm using 7.0 and bedford template. I discovered a visual effect that I love but can't figure out how to control it the way I want. Check out https://overCurious.org for my working example for this question. You'll see I have a couple of Categories and some Featured posts. My navigation setup never directs the user to: https://overcurious.org/blog itself because I present the user Recent and Featured posts as summary blocks on the Home page. No problems so far. I accidently went to the /blog slug myself this morning and noticed this cool visual effect in which the top of the page (it's banner?) is a gallery (terminology?) of 5 of my post banner images and there are left and right arrows to scroll through the list of 5 posts. Cool. I like that. But have spent an hour trying to figure out how it (SqSp 7.0 or Bedford) picked which 5 posts. For a moment I thought, oh, this is my list of featured posts. But it's not exactly cuz there are 6 featured posts right now and it's only showing 5 of them ... It does happen to be the 5 most recent of the 6. Clue? I'm just wondering if it's FIXED as the top-5 featured posts or is there a setting somewhere I haven't found yet. Could it be something like top-5 featured in last 3-months for example? I'm excited and stumped at the same time. I like the effect and would even add a button to go to the /blog slug if I could figure out how it works.
