  http://theunteragency.com/ when I go to share on Facebook, I get a random image from the static homepage gallery (book covers), is there a way I can make a static (or live?) thumbnail image of the home page (or the header?) to show up for social sharing? Thanks! Great theme.

  Hello marthawilkie,

  I found a support page that may be able to help you out: https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-image-thumbnail/.

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks for the quick reply. The gallery is dynamic, each book cover changes places on refresh, so the “featured” or auto selected don’t work.

  What would be ideal is if I could load a screenshot of the whole page which would serve as the sharing image.

  I may be willing to pay premium for this theme for this, otherwise it’s fantastic.

  @marthawilkie the featured post for each page or post should be the one that shows up when you share that direct link.

  For sharing the homepage, you *might* have some luck with setting a Blavatar:

  It wouldn’t be the same a screenshot but hopefully it could help with your branding.
