The Publication cover in Ghost is a native feature used to represent your site visually in multiple ways.
In the Sense theme, this image is also used as the background for the Signup section on the homepage.
By default, Ghost uses the cover image as the Open Graph image (og:image) when your site is shared on social media platforms.
To upload or change the cover image:
Access Ghost Admin
Log in to your Ghost Admin at yoursite.com/ghost
Go to Brand Settings
Navigate to Settings > Site > Design & branding yoursite.com/ghost/#/settings/design
Click the "Customize" button to open the editor.
Upload Your Cover
Select the Brand section on the right.
Under Publication cover, click "Upload cover" and select your file.
Save Changes
Click "Save" to apply your cover to the site.
If you want to use a different image for social sharing (instead of your publication cover), follow these steps:
Access Ghost Admin
Log in to your Ghost Admin at yoursite.com/ghost
Go to General Settings
Navigate to Settings > General settings yoursite.com/ghost/#/settings/general
Open Card Editor
Click "Edit" under X card or Facebook card
Upload Your Image
Add a custom image that represents your site on each platform.
Save Changes
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
