How to configure Yoast to accept a URL to a remote image for the social image

24 Views Asked by At

I'm running Yoast SEO plugin on my Wordpress site. I'm using the plugin mainly to be able to set the og:image, og:title and og:description for each page. By default, you can only set the "Social Image" by selecting (or uploading then selecting) an image from the media library:

enter image description here

I'd like to make a modification (via hooks/actions I would guess) such that in addition to the image selector, there is also a text field that will accept a URL and do the same thing with that image thta it does with the one selected with the picker (which is assign it as the value of og:image).

The plugin, Featured Image from URL (FIFU), does this very thing for a post's Featured Image, so I'm hoping that the same can be applied to Yoast. I've looked through their developer/support site and can't find a list of hooks or anything useful for this.

Anyone have any ideas?
