[Plugin: WordSocial] Problems with the preview picture

Hello!

Actually, for the preview image, here is how it works :

– If you choose the “featured image” in your WordSocial settings, when you publish a post, the system will try to get the image from it. If the system fails, it will try to find an image in your post and use that image as preview. If again, there is no image, at this time, the system use the default image.

– For “custom field”, the process is similar but the first step is replace by the search into your custom field instead of “featured image”.

Now, what is the featured image or custom field ?

In the first screenshot (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordsocial/screenshots/), you see you can choose the way that the system retrieve the preview image (featured image or custom field, and if custom field… What custom field.)

Here, you can see how to set an image as featured image : http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image (Your theme need to be compatible with this feature. Otherwise, you won’t see that option).

If your theme is not compatible, you can use custom field. Here is a video on how you can use “custom field” feature : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CpAaHDzDpM

Of course, the name of the custom field into your post need to be the same as the one into your WordSocial settings. For example, in the screen above, I note “image_value” for the custom field. So I need to create a custom field named “image_value” into my post and with value the url of the image I want to use as preview.

I don’t know if it’s more clear for you now ?
