Hey guys,

everytime when we share a link to a post of our website (brightbox) on facebook, the wrong image appears in the facebook-post. I'm not able to select the picture, which we use in our blogpost.

For example: http://www.kaundvau.de/index.php/2012/01/megalieferung/

When you post this link on facebook, the first picture from the related posts will be taken.

Can you please help us to fix this problem?

Thank you very much :-)

Best regards, Tom

Hey,
tomkellersohn please update your theme to Brightbox 1.2.x (you're using version 1.1). Since 1.2 Brightbox will set the first slideshow/featured media image as post thumbnail and if you use a facebook open graph plugin you can use this post thumbnail for facebook.

Have you tried this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-open-graph-meta/ - it will use the post image (attached image) as facebook open graph image.

I ended up using a plug in called Meta SEO Pack and the excerpt section at the very bottom of the post edit page! To make sure that facebook is going to show the image and the except you want go to http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug or even to refresh the way the paged is viewed after making changes.
