Inconsistency between Facebook and twitter data on frontpage

[tacoverdo]

Problem description

On SEO->Titles & Metas->Homepage you can set a title and meta description for the front page of your website when you're using the latest posts as front page.

On SEO->Social->Facebook, you can set a custom title, description and image for Facebook. These values are used in the OG data on the front page.
On SEO->Social->Twitter, there is no option to set a custom title, description or image for twitter. Instead, it uses the values set on SEO->Titles & Metas->Homepage, except for the twitter image, which is taken from the Facebook settings. This creates an inconsistency when sharing the post on Facebook and Twitter.

Possible solutions

1. Adding the option to set custom values for twitter, as is currently available for Facebook
2. Use the custom Facebook settings, and fall back to the values set in SEO->Titles & Metas->Homepage

1.When a user has in the Setting-Reading section selected 'Your latest posts' instead of a static page

2.We create an option in SEO-Social-Facebook for specific Facebook settings for a title, description and image.

3.In SEO-Social-Twitter No such options exist

Adding those options would improve the SEO so users can create specific Twitter information for the homepage and also user expectations.

NOTE: Twitter uses OpenGraph tags so if no twitter image is present it will default to the OG: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/optimize-with-cards/overview/markup.html

Noticed the inconsistency when no image was specified in the meta box when a post was created. FB og:image defaulted to the image set in SEO > Social > Facebook > Default Settings.

But Twitter twitter:image uses the image set on SEO > Social > Facebook > Frontpage settings

@Jerparx could you create a separate issue from the last comment you added?
