The picture shown next to the post is often wrong, since there's no image tag as described in my first post. I would like to add this tag, but don't know how. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/facebook-link-image-and-social-media-tags#post-60328 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 04:11:37 +0000 Ismael 60328@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>What exactly do you want to accomplish? I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure if I understand your inquiry.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Ismael </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/facebook-link-image-and-social-media-tags#post-60092 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:02:08 +0000 ralphje 60092@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Facebook (and other social media sites) look for specific meta tags in a page to generate a thumbnail to put next to links that are referenced to in wall posts.</p> <p>For instance, the image_src property can be used to link to an image. I think it is useful to set this to the right property when using gallery images (ie, the first gallery image). However, I've got no clue on how to do this.</p> <p>Open Graph can also be quite useful, see <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1079599/facebook-post-link-image" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1079599/facebook-post-link-image</a>. </p>
