Can't choose from images

    Hi,

    I’m using your plugin, but unfortunately when I want to share a post, Facebook uses only the first image in the post, and I’m not able to choose between other pictures (which are also included in a post).

    I’m not using any other open graph facebook/social seo plugins and the Facebook object debugger doesn’t seem to give any errors?

    example post

    I’m not using featured images, those are just inserted post images..

    Thanks a lot!
    Best regards,
    Jonas

    Hey man

    The image that’s in your source right now for that post is this one: https://www.ingelberts.be/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/game-lastofusremastered.jpg

    Which I’m assuming is exactly what you wanted.

    If facebook isn’t displaying that you need to use their debugger to clear their cache.
    It’s in my plugin instructions and here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

    Everything else looks good too. Cheers!

    Hi Chuck,

    Thanks for the reply! I know he does pick the first wide image (which acts as a featured image) but I would like to choose from the other pictures in the post (see at the bottom)

    Any solution how I should fix that?

    Thanks!

    FB pulls what it wants – often gives you a selector when posted but that’s on them.
    As far as this plugin having an option on every post to select which image to share… doesn’t exist and won’t. If you add a featured image to your post it’ll pull that first and should help FB in choosing which one to use. Problem is they don’t always pay attention to the order of images; sometimes completely ignore it.
