You need to put open graph tags in your header.php. I usually use this combination:
<?php
$theme = wp_get_theme();
$screenshot_url = esc_url( $theme->get_screenshot() );
if ( is_home() ): ?>
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo get_home_url(''); ?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo get_bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo get_bloginfo('description'); ?>" />
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $screenshot_url; ?>" />
<?php elseif( is_category() ):
$cat_id = get_query_var('cat');
$cat_name = get_cat_name($cat_id);
$cat_desc = (category_description( $cat_id ) != '') ? category_description( $cat_id ) : get_bloginfo('description');
?>
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo get_category_link($cat_id); ?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo $cat_name; ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo $cat_desc; ?>" />
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $screenshot_url; ?>" />
<?php else: ?>
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>" />
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()):
$url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
?>
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $url; ?>" />
<?php else: ?>
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $screenshot_url; ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I put separate OG tags for home, category and other pages, with a fallback to theme image (this prevents random image being selected).
Hope this helps.

Try this:
