Shared content–where's the photo/image?

  • I like this plugging, but the primary reason I picked this over the half-dozen others is for a feature I thought I read, which enables the ADMIN to control what exactly is shared.

    For example, if I have a post on a website about an event it generally includes: Title, Image, and description. But when I click on the “Facebook share” icon your plugging provides, it shows the Post’s title and description, but no image. Where’s the image? And how can I get that on there?

    Plain texts is boring, it’s the image that attracts attention.

    Appreciate your response! I followed your link, and found another one you guys wrote:

    Customizing share-post content

    But it doesn’t seem to be working. Here’s what I need to do:

    When my client puts up a new post on their event, I’d like my clients customers to click on the shareholic-facebook icon and it having the post’s image, title, and description. It’s not happening. Even when I add the following at the bottom of the post:

    div class=’shareaholic-canvas’ data-app=’share_buttons’ data-app-id=”xxxxx” data-title=’PRACTICE 1 2 3′ data-link=’https://www.friendsforbenefits.org/category/events/’
    data-image=’ttp://www.friendsforbenefits.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/DSC01973.jpg’ data-summary=’BLACH BLAH BLAH BLAH’>/div

    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your help!

    Ok, now I’m running into another issue that’s gettting very annoying. I clicked on the “edit share button settings” so I can remove that annoying “thank you for sharing” window that pops up every time I click on a button. Then I “Save Changes” and the “thank you message” option re-clicks itself like saving the changes does nothing. Any ideas?
