    Hello, your plugin is great by the way, i have use it in many other websites and never had a problem with it until now, I will be very grateful if you help me a little, I am working in this website: https://deviaje.jpnava.com but everytime I want to share something the image and info doesnt appear,

    1.- If i share the main URL everything displays ok, but actually that is not the image I selected, and actually that image dont exist in my server, and in debugger of facebook i have an error of URL and ID app.

    2.- If I share any other URL, https://deviaje.jpnava.com/contacto, it doesnt show any image, and get the same error of URL and ID app

    I thought it was other plug in, so I disabled all and change theme, and nothing. I try to talk with my hosting provider and they said everything its ok, so I dont have any other idea what it could be.

    Thank you very much.

    Hey jpnava,

    First – there’s something else, your theme or another plugin, that’s adding in the facebook app ID into the source – luckily it’s the same as the one you have in this plugin but i’m sure FB is’nt liking the fact there are two of them. So look into that.

    Okay… Home page pulls only this image:

    <meta property="og:image" content="https://deviaje.jpnava.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/home.png"/>

    The contact page pulls two:

    <meta property="og:image" content="https://deviaje.jpnava.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/home.png"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="https://deviaje.jpnava.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/contant1-1024x533.jpg"/>

    From that I’m assuming you have the /2016/01/home.png image set in the plugin settings as the default image?

    The way the current plugin works… it takes the default image and puts it at the top of the image array of any featured images or images found in content. Facebook used to allow selection of images – well they changed how they pull images now so sometimes you’ll get that first one… sometimes they’ll randomly choose one… sometimes they don’t pull any. I can’t explain it… it pisses me off… and they change how it works constantly.

    That said. I’ve been slowly rebuilding how that image declaration works in the new beta, which is mentioned in a sticky on this support forum, and I just need more testing to finalize it and release it. That should better generalize the image declaration process to not give FB as many chances to screw it up. I’d love to get that done before the end of February but I’m pretty slammed with client stuff.

    Also make sure to run your site pages through the FB debugger – it clears FB’s cache and can sometimes help with those image selection issues:

    Hope that helps. Cheers.
