Facebook sharing – correct image

    Hi Serkan –
    Sorry – another little issue that we are having – don’t know if it has anything to do with the Theme or not.
    Of our 3 sites, one of them defaults to the logo image instead of an image from the post when sharing a post to Facebook!

    This site – http://www.thegardenglove.com/how-to-install-low-voltage-outdoor-lighting/

    All of our sites are set-up exactly the same and the other 2 are fine. They show an image from the post when sharing to Facebook. On our site http://www.thegardenglove.com , it always shows the logo image. It didn’t do that before we changed to this Theme.

    Is there some setting that we do not know about?
    I know there are plugins like Yoast SEO to add the open graph tag but we didn’t use it before and we were fine and we aren’t using it on the other 2 sites and they work fine.
    Thanks for you help!

    Hi,
    Did you try to deactivate all those plugins and try it again?
    When I checked the source code, it says it chose the photo from the post featured image rather than the logos. It is pointless to have such a thing to happen without a collision with a plugin. There is no CSS code that can be given as it is opened directly on Facebook. But I will keep you updated if I find an easier solution.
    Thanks

    Hi Serkan –
    I tried that and still didn’t work.
    So I ended up Installing Yoast SEO plugin which has the open graph functionality built in and that seems to be working fine!
