Same thumbnail for each Facebook Album post

    When I create a link to any individual gallery, the image at the top left of this page is used as a preview image on Facebook. I deleted the image from the gallery, but it won’t go away! I would like the preview image to represent an individual gallery, not the same picture each time.

    Is there a way to set the preview image? A way to get rid of this one that keeps showing up? What am I missing

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @grannypam,

    You can choose the preview image for the albums and galleries.

    For the galleries, you’d need to navigate to “NextGen Gallery -> Manage Galleries”, access a gallery then toggle the “Gallery Settings” tab and select the “Preview Image” and “Save Changes”.

    For the albums, please access “NextGen Gallery -> Manage Albums”, select the album, press “Edit Album” then select a “Preview image”, press “Ok” and finally press “Update” to apply the changes.

    Yes, that works for the image on the site. However, when I post a link to the album on Facebook, the preview image on the site is not displayed, another image from the first album in the gallery is. And I deleted that image, but it is still “stuck” somewhere.

    Not sure if that’ll help but you can try using https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ to scrape new the URL in hope that it’ll change the image when you’ll share that link again.
