It's my first time here. I saw this post on Facebook which caught my attention. It shows a normal Facebook profile redirection link but when I click it. I go to another website. Is this even possible? I tried to recreate the link with the [] & () code but it doesn't work. Here is the picture of the reference.

I am having issues integrating Facebook buttons on my site. I have created a FB app to use with the integration - my like button (see http://soundsviral.com/2014/02/13/tennis-court-by-lorde-45/) is working just like I want it to. However, the share button next to it returns a story like you see above. The real disconcerting piece is that the link for the "Sounds Viral" name (which is the name of the app here, not the site) links to the app itself, which I don't want users to visit at all.) How can I change this URL to be my homepage (or the link in the post below, if that's preferable?)
I also which I could change "link" here to be "song", which is a supported og:type and is in use for my "like" button. However, for the "share" button, it just says "link". But that's less important to me than the actual URL in the story.
Thanks for any ideas!
The solution is to set your facebook app to be a website app that directs facebook users to your website.
To do this:
go to you app page
go to Settings
click Add Platform button
Select Website option
Enter URL of your website and save

I am posting it here because i couldnt find it on google or i was unable to make a query for google.. Thanks in advance
Test your link at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug to see what thumbnails are pulled in by facebook when shared.
To configure which thumbnail to show when an URL from your site is shared you have to add this property to your html source in the header.
<meta property='og:image' content='url to First Image in your Page etc'/>
More details about meta tags for FB at this link.
I do configure the Like and Share button on a website but the image that appear when a link is shared is not the same image fromthe link, it is some random image fromthe site
So another image is seen, but only when a user click on the link the right image is show.
How can i fix it ? any parameter ?
Check what Facebook is detecting on your page using the Debug tool: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
If any of the Open Graph meta tags are missing on the links you're sharing, Facebook has to guess at the title/description/image/etc and it won't necessarily be the first/biggest/most prominent image or piece of text on the page
I have a picture with a hyperlink, however, when I download the picture to Facebook the hyperlink does not work. Can you not put a hyperlink on a picture? I would like it if people open the picture, they will be able to click on the picture and it take them to a website.
You'll just need to wrap the image with an pointing it to the site where your sharing it on. However, if your using FaceBook to host the image, then you'll be using the API of FaceBook and won't have control over what happens when a user clicks on the image. Maybe just share the link in the description??
