    Facebook chooses an image to use in a story based on og:image with <img> fallbacks. The parser may skip over images discovered in its search for larger images to highlight on high-DPI displays and which generally provide better reader engagement.

    Thanks for the reply.

    In my example above, you will see 3 photos which I added with og:images and it’s sorted the way I added them.

    But when I or someone else post it in Facebook, Facebook choose the wrong photo, although the first photo (Wedding photo in my example which is also featured image) has the largest size!

    Any idea?

    Why has this been changed to ‘resolved’, when it hasn’t been. I came here for looking for a solution to this problem as well. My blog uses the featured image when sharing a post, this plugin disables that, and chooses whatever photo it wants.
