  Everytime I try to share the link to my website, no thumbnail image comes up. I eventually fixed it somehow (no idea how!) so that an image does now appear, but it’s not the one that I want. How can I change the thumbnail image that appears when I share the link? I’m not a tech person at all so I need a solution that’s understandable for someone who knows nothing about code!
  Help must be out there!!!

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

  Hi. Thankyou for your response.
  I have looked at that page but it’s not changed anything! I still get an image coming up that I don’t want and I can’t work out how to change it.

  Hi,

  Try to follow all the steps from the support page I shared. It is the best you can do here.

  A wrong image is used, what do I do?

  Even though we make a best effort to tell Facebook what images are associated with a post, their systems also analyze the page/post and choose what they think is the best representation. By following the guidelines about image size and aspect ratio outlined in this document, chances are better that the image that you would like to be associated with your blog post’s share is the one that Facebook selects.
