    I want to add that code to <head> section:

    <link rel=”image_src” href=”<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>” / >

    and nothing happend… I want to display from post site the thumbnail of that in <head> section.

    What about that?

    The functions.php file in your active theme also needs to have add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

    See this page

    already done… still nothing

    That code in site source look that way:
    <link rel=”image_src” href=”” / >

    I don’t think it will work in the <head> section as the_post_thumbnail() outputs image markup – not the image src. Why exactly do you want to add a post thumb to the head of your pages?

    I assumed that meant header.

    That code; <link rel=”image_src” href=”URL HERE” / > will give Facebook a standard 1 image for url…

    It work for main <head>, but I want for every post another image.

    Do you mean a favicon?

    no…

    When you add post in Facebook wall, Facebook search images or find that code “image_src” and add it to one option for image url. I can do it for all site by add that code to normal <head> in header.php but All in One Seo allowes me to add another code to each post page <head>. And in that head I need to attach the code URL from thumbnail to do that icon.

    I would also like to do this.

    With the new Facebook Open Graph stuff, you can define a thumbnail for that page in your <head> of the form
    <meta property="og:image" content="[image url]"/>.

    I would like to use
    <meta property="og:image" content="<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>"/>
    but since this is outside the loop, the tag returns nothing.

    Is there a way to get this to work outside the loop?

    Thanks

    anyone managed to make this work?

    hope this helps, found it on google
