If you do end up having success figuring it out, be sure to post the solution here as its always nice to get a resolution for this kind of thing :)</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-thumbnails-in-facebook#post-47730 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:00:55 +0000 hysteric 47730@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yeah - we seem to have tried them all, but so far no luck. Facebook seems to be a law unto itself...</p> <p>Thanks for your thoughts. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-thumbnails-in-facebook#post-47606 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:22:39 +0000 Kriesi 47606@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> Hey!</p> <p>Unfortunately I am not very familiar with these kind of things. have you ever tried to find plugins that correctly set the meta data necessary for facebook? </p> <p> Regards,<br /> Kriesi </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-thumbnails-in-facebook#post-47265 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 21:53:55 +0000 hysteric 47265@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Cheers Devin - </p> <p>We're still having no luck, though I think it's more a Facebook problem than a Corona Theme issue. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-thumbnails-in-facebook#post-46291 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:47:20 +0000 Devin 46291@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Hysteric,</p> <p>Not that I know of no. I'll forward the issue to Kriesi/other support as I'm not as familiar with open graph. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-thumbnails-in-facebook#post-45899 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 18:48:41 +0000 hysteric 45899@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>We have just added this to the Header.php replacing out the &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;</p> <p>&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" &lt;?php language_attributes(); ?&gt;&gt;</p> <p>It has allowed us to access the featured image as a thumbnail in Facebook posts, but when these posts are shared or linked by other people, the thumbnail is still being randomly called and not the one specified.</p> <p>Is there perhaps some code that needs to be added so that the featured image is the default image? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-thumbnails-in-facebook#post-45891 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:57:49 +0000 hysteric 45891@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Devin - we have both these plug-ins and have some success with them. </p> <p>However, even using these plug-ins, we are never given the option to chose the featured image as a thumbnail for the post. This is really important for us for posts that may be short and don't have any images within the body copy, but do have a featured image. But for some reason the featured image (which is often the most appropriate) is not ever an option...?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-thumbnails-in-facebook#post-43234 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:10:42 +0000 Devin 43234@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Hysteric,</p> <p>You can try using this plugin: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-open-graph-meta/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-open-graph-meta/</a> to help facebook correctly identify the post image. Another person had success using a plugin called Meta SEO Pack.</p> <p>Related thread: <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/wrong-image-for-the-facebook-sharing" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/wrong-image-for-the-facebook-sharing</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-thumbnails-in-facebook#post-42990 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:35:25 +0000 hysteric 42990@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Whenever a link to a post is posted to Facebook, or using the link option in HootSuite, the image that appears in Facebook is not one linked to the article. The Facebook debugger reports the following errors:</p> <p>Inferred Property The og:image property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.</p> <p>(We have a screen grab of the error report if that helps) </p>
