  Although there is a lot of articles about displaying right post thumbnail for Facebook sharing but I am having problem with it.

  There is thumbnail choosing option inside facebook share window.
  My requirement is that the featured image to be the first one displayed without the option to change it to any other image.
  Currently i am getting multiple images to choose when i share a
  post from the blog worldtruth.tv

  I tried a lot but could not solve it. I tried adding OG Tags manually to head. I added the following code before <?php wp_head(); ?>

  ————————————————————————————————-
  <?php
  global $wp_query;
  $thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
  if( has_post_thumbnail( $thePostID )){
  $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $thePostID );
  $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $thumb_id );
  echo ‘<meta property=”og:image” content=”‘.$image[0].'” />’;
  } ?>
  ————————————————————————————————-

  Could you please tell me the code that I should put inside my head tags so that when I share through Facebook, there is no option for choosing a thumbnail but that it always shows a thumbnail of a post.
