I've set up a WordPress blog of mine and added a Facebook share button at the right sidebar, it's working but not showing the thumbnail image. I want to show only my default image as a thumbnail instead of my featured images. How can I set up a static (only my logo) thumbnail image for the share button ? I can see the
meta og:image tag and it varies with articles but I want only my logo to be posted. Can anyone help me ? Thanks in advance. Here is the url of my site- http://heera.it
When I lint your site: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fheera.it
It shows that you have coded the og meta tags correctly.
Currently your og:image set to http://heera.it/wp-content/themes/shadows/images/hit.png
If you want to change this, change the meta tag's content parameter to something else.
Here's what the complete meta tag currently looks like:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://heera.it/wp-content/themes/shadows/images/hit.png" />
Update:
Actually the problem was image itself. Everything was fine but the image was smaller than 200px and Facebook didn't allow it. So increasing of the size of og image to 200px the image would be showed up.
All the images referenced by og:image must be at least 200px in both
dimensions.
Another ansower on SO.

I have read many similar posts here and tried the following but no luck:
Replaced og:image with larger image banner (larger than Facebook's required standard)
Commented out the <img> tag of that pencil icon image, yet Facebook debugger still showing that small tiny little icon. When I view source from browser, confirmed that pencil icon has been commented. (NOTE: I've put back the pencil icon image for editing convenience.)
Renamed large image file and update og:image.
Specified og:url of the current page.
All the above not working at all. Can somebody please help? Here is my URL: http://tringo-medical.blogspot.my/. Thanks in advance!
Ok guys, sorry for the impatience -- we just have to wait for Facebook to clear the cache. For my case, I had been waited for almost a week for them to get it cleared, which wasn't in 24 hours as what others claimed. But Facebook shouldn't defeat their own rules either by choosing tiny icon image as the post image. So the solution is to "wait".
I've been working on facebook social sharing, and I have gotten it to work via 'dialog' & 'popup' modals.
My feed is Shared on Facebook feed with the newer Large display rectangle.
I've set up all the proper parameters such as:
method:
app_id:
name:
link:
picture:
caption:
description:
display:
my page renders meta-tags with og:image, og:image_secure_ssl, og:image:height, og:image:width, with their respective content="image/height/width"
I've used the facebook:debugger to freshly re-scrape/cache the url.
Using FB.ui(options...), there is no parameter for height/width to be sent to facebook. My images meet the correct sizes of 1200x800+, as well as their aspect ratio of 1.9:1
What I want to achieve in my preview-modal is this:
Go to this website, and click on the round black facebook share icon:
http://www.violetgrey.com/violet-files/top-flight/the-golden-eye?icl=section_1_hero_v2_1&icn=hero_image
The much larger preview
My current preview-modal display currently is more like:
Go to this website, and click on the facebook share blue button:
https://www.everlane.com/invite
The small square preview
I really like the bigger share modal preview, because it looks better imo.
Do you guys have any advice as to how I can proceed?
To get the large preview, you can either rely on the Share Dialog or open up the plain old https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=(http://yourURL.com/) in a popup. They both use the Open Graph metadata you set in the head.
The Feed Dialog can be used to override the OG meta, so you can specify a title, description, picture, but there's no way to set the picture's dimensions or the layout of the dialog...
I want Facebook to ignore a particular image on a page. Is there any tag I can use that will hide an image from Facebook when users share a page?
We are using Joomla 3.4. The article pages that have an intro section that displays on category listing pages but is hidden on the actual article page. The intro section has a thumbnail 75 x 75.
In the main body of the article there is a larger image that we would like to display on Facebook but the og:image always selects the thumbnail first.
Is there any way I can add some parameter to the thumbnail so that it will be ignored?
Why don't you explicitly specify the larger image in your og:image tag? If you specify more than one og:image, as far as I know the first one is selected.

When I paste https://testing.grabble.co.uk/user/index/user/ben.mu into Facebook, for some reason it's picking the banner image from the top of the page instead of the image indicated in the og:image meta tag.
However, https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftesting.grabble.co.uk%2Fuser%2Findex%2Fuser%2Fben.mu indicates that everything is being pulled through correctly. Anyone got any ideas why this might be? The image is 200x200, which as I understand it should be large enough for Facebook to not ignore it.
Additionally, Pinterest seems to ignore all our og:image tags as well, even when the images being set are 450x450 or larger. I suspect this is related.
Apparently Facebook will take a larger, more detailed image over the one you've indicated in the og:image property if the og:image URL doesn't appear in the page as an actual <img/> element. Solution to this was to switch the banner image from being an <img/> tag to a background-image:url() CSS property. Everything now works as expected, including on Pinterest.
I am playing around with the Facebook open graph.
I have added an og:image tag such that the scraper gets the image and displays it on the users timeline for my custom action.
On the activity feed that appears on the sidebar, and on the All Activity page the image is resized to 30 x 30 px which looks awful.
On the user timeline however the logo is shown sufficiently bigger that it looks good.
The logo was not designed to look good at 30 x 30 px :) For our android app for example we have a smaller icon which is much simpler.
What is one meant to do in this situation? Is there a tag (I cannot find one) which allows for an icon to be specified for the cases where a small image is needed, and to use the image in all other circumstances?
Thanks
You must make other picture on your code and rename as logo. After that you can use this code.
Note: Picture should be square in size
