Hi, this may be useful … I’ve actually started trying this with Google News when there are two images, one if featured and shows in meta as main image and og image, and pinterest image, but might not be seen as main image for Google News on some odd occassion, such as your use case — in looking at the Google forum, I found this:
By default Producer chooses the largest image as hero image. Here is how to explicitly designate the primary images in feeds: In <item>s or <entry>s in the feed, you should add the class name class=”type:primaryImage” to the tag for the desired primary image.
These code snippets work:
<img src="www.publisher.com/image.png" />
<figure> <img src="www.publisher.com/image.png" class="type:primaryImage" /> ... </figure>
<div> <img src="www.publisher.com/image.png" class="type:primaryImage" /> ... </div>These do not work:
<img src="www.publisher.com/image.png" />
<figure class="type:primaryImage"> <img src="www.publisher.com/image.png" /> ... </figure>
<div class="type:primaryImage"> <img src="www.publisher.com/image.png" /> ... </div>I am actually trying this with a story tomorrow am. to see what happens, adding this to the main image I have posted into a story, along with supplemental image, adding this to the image class in the post body:
class="type:primaryImage"
