  Hello, Is there (or will there be) a possibility to ad a meta tag for the og image, which appears when sharing a link of our blog in facebook?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,
  When using Publicize the image that Facebook selects is entirely up to them. They use a very strict set of criteria which we have absolutely no control over.

  • Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
  • To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.

  Autposting to Facebook is not very effective. Manually posting is far more effective.

  Well actually I found the problem: in general parameters, just add the ‘image for the blog’….

  That’s good news. It’s the obvious we sometimes overlook. So glad you sorted this. Happy blogging. :)
