Hi,

First of thanks for reading. As you know there are two types of links(generally speaking) one link which is a simple URL and other link which have a click able Thumbnail with some text.

My question is; On wordpress, how can I create a post which instead of a plain URL becomes a clickable thumbnail link on Twitter?

See the attached image for example.

Thanks in advance

You need a so called "Summary Card". There are no plugins I think. You have to do it on your own.

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> don't change this
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@xxxx"> put your username here
<meta name="twitter:title" content="My first card"> put a nice title for your card
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://xxxxxx.jpg"> change the link

All these parameters are required. They have to be in every page of your website you whish to have a link preview. Make sure that twitter:image points really to an image. Either by a web-link or in your local file system.
 
Pretty sure Yoast SEO plugin help you achieve this.
 
There are lots of WordPress plugins..
Just search for twitter thumbnail
