I can't undrestand why Facebook can't play all GIFs from my website? For example when I debug this page, Facebook don't show the GIF:
https://keepgif.com/gif/when-your-dad-live.html
The file is not too big and his width is greater than 200px. So where is the problem please? Is there some recomandations that I have to know to force Open Graphe to play any GIF from my website?
href from <meta property="og:image" content="https://keepgif.com/embed/w47u5Kdx.gif">
https://keepgif.com/embed/w47u5Kdx.gif
redirect to your site. I guess, this may be problem.

I have a logo image set in the head of my home page, but for some reason, when I use the share button for Facebook, the image Facebook chooses is a picture from elsewhere on the page. Is there a reason for this? Can I change it?
Visit this link: A Guide to Sharing for Webmasters
I guess if you change or paste this code between the "head" tags then facebook will show the correct image
<meta property="og:image" content="http://tenbooksamonth.com/example.jpg" />

I hope it helps
quick question:
one tiny prob i have is when i try to share a page from my site on facebook (for example:http://pent-house.co.il/index.php/sale/52-2013-12-12-13-41-40), i cannot see thumbnails for the gallery. i see only the logo :\
is there any way that i can share the photos throw facebook?
thank you very much and have a damm nice day! XD
i wanted to shar a pic but i dont have enough reputation
You have to set an og:image meta tag like this:
<meta property="og:image" content="THE LINK TO YOUR IMAGE"/>
In the <head> of your document otherwise facebook bot uses (usualy) the biggest images he can fin. On the example page you linked to the biggest one is the logo.
Once you have set the og:image meta tag don't forget to delete facebook's cache by entering your page url on this page so you can see the modifications you make.

Does anyone know the exact rules of the Facebook sharer thumbnail?
From my understanding, what it is supposed to do, is look at the <head> and find the <meta type="of:image"> and have that as the default thumbnail, but what it should also do, is crawl the webpage, find all the images on it, and have it alternative thumbnail options.
Am I completely wrong here?
Take a look at this site for example, http://a-d-c.net
When on the Homepage, click on the Share link (select Facebook one) on the bottom nav, I can only see 3 thumbnail options, even though there are plenty of other images on the page.
Can anyone explain how Facebook decide which images are 'allowed' to be used as the thumbnail?
Kind Regards
I have a odd problem - when I share a link of a page from our website, the image does not show as a thumbnail (sometimes). It has the correct meta data but its almost like it times out.
For example
http://modetro.com/our-favourites/vintage-retro-sankyo-japanese-flip-alarm-clock-mode-no-401-space-age-mid-century
Has the meta tag
<meta property="og:image" content="http://modetro.com/image/cache/data/ebay/vintage-retro-sankyo-japanese-flip-alarm-clock-mode-no-401-space-age-mid-century/652436936_o-340x340.jpg" />
If I share this link on FB it does not show the thumbnail? I have used the debug tool for this and other pages and SOMETIMES it gets the image and sometimes doesn't? any ideas why?
According to Facebook, they have a glitch that they are working on .. see this page here
I have a Page Tab app on Facebook currently and want to promote it in the timeline, but when I do I'm not getting a thumbnail.
I've added in the thumbnail meta tag:
<meta property="og:image" content="MY_IMAGE"/>
but it's still not showing - am I missing something? The link to the image is actually in the app code itself and points to an image 111 x 74px in the images folder of the app, so it's not on a different site or anything - and it's an absolute link.
The app link is here FYI: https://www.facebook.com/ValerieCafe/app_451324494932654
Any suggestions appreciated.
I didn't know there was a debugger for Facebook apps online:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
I'd missed the meta tags out, and actually the way the app was built was not letting Facebook crawl it properly so once I figured out all those problems it works fine. Although, Facebook does seem very slow if you want to change the image used as a thumbnail - it needs at least 24hrs to catch up.
