    That is a Facebook thing. If you check out the Facebook debugger ( https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ ), you see that your page is lacking any open graph tags. Therefore Facebook scans the page and just uses the first one.

    If you want to set a specific image e.g. the feature image of a post, you need to set a proper og:image tag. There are multiple plugins for WordPress available that let you automatically set and adjust these tags (e.g. many SEO plugins automatically do this).

    If you do not want another plugin for that you can also use the snippet from Sergej Müller that I use myself as well.

    His article is in German, but I believe that won’t be a problem after seeing your site. ??

    Even though he refers to Google+ most of the time, it also accounts for Facebook.

    ok, thanks for the info! Googling for og:image and wp_head shows many results.
