* when i activate the featured image in the edit screen of the post, this places
that image in front of the first image in my post so it screws up the layout,
when anyone searches according to keywords, and gets a results page. And this
plugin doesn’t even solve the original problem –links i post to facebook still
show the default home page image, rather than the first image from the post itself.
Is there something i should know to make this work properly?

* Hi Jaebaeli,
* Perhaps you have a conflict with another plugin that is also outputting open
graph tags? This turns out to be the case for nearly everyone who says it didn’t
work. The other times it’s because their theme had an issue.
* View the source code of your page and search for any instance of og:
* If you don’t find any, then your theme is probably at fault. Hit me up with the
URL and I can take a look if you prefer.
* Good luck.

* hi Michael. Thanks for the quick response. The site is [http://kellijaebaeli.com](http://kellijaebaeli.com)
Yes, i did load another plugin before yours that didn’t work which is why i went
looking for another. Maybe i didn’t disable that one properly. I’ll see if i
can figure that out.

* Hi Jaebaeli,
* Yep there’s a conflict. I can see the output of my plugin starting at line 123
of your homepage source, and another set of open graph tags starting at line
17. They are both outputting the same tags except for the Facebook thumb image:
* My plugin output…
* ``
* ..and the other…
* ``
* As you can see these are two different images, and this can easily cause problems
with services like Facebook and other that use the open graph protocol.
* If you run your website URL through the Facebook debugging tool it even reports
a conflict. Go to this URL…
* [https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fkellijaebaeli.com](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fkellijaebaeli.com)
* ..and hit the DEBUG button.
* Anyhoo, to solve this problem your theme should only be outputting one set of
open graph tags, so disable my plugin or the other one.
* As a quick troubleshooting exercise try disabling all the plugins. If you then
view the source code of your homepage and still see a set of open graph tags,
then you’ll know they must be hard-coded into your theme (likely header.php).
* Also bear in mind it takes 24 hrs for Facebook to re-index your thumbnail. But
if you run your page through the debugger as mentioned above it will change immediately.
* Good luck.

* Hey guys, just got an email of my mention in the forums, so I swinged by this
thread.
* @ jaebaeli I have a rewrite of my plugin ready which I haven’t pushed live just
yet but if you would like to try that out to see if that solves your problem,
you can get it from Github – [https://github.com/ashfame/facebook-like-thumbnail/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/ashfame/facebook-like-thumbnail/archive/master.zip)
* Currently v0.3 but that link will always get you a zip file of the latest dev
version.

* Thanks, Michael, for your prompt response and the info. I removed/deleted the
other plugin, and also removed the tics in Weaver admin for featured images and
such, and debugged and tried posting on one of my other facebook pages. still
have the same issue. Disabled your plugin as well and refreshed all and tried
posting to another FB page of mine and it made no difference. And yes, there
were og tags in the source after each thing. BUt i don’t know what to do about
that if it’s hard-coded in Weaver–you’re not supposed to mess with the files,
that’s why Weaver has an admin dashboard to do all kinds of things–to avoid that….
anyway, not sure what to do from here. Before i merged my author site with my
blog, it worked fine. When i posted a particular blog post link, it used the
first image in the post. When i posted a link to the home page, it used the home
page header. Now it just uses the home page header on every link shared. {SIGH}

* Hi Jaebaeli,
* Yes it sounds like who ever made your theme has included the open graph component.
That’s fine but apparently it isn’t working properly.
* If there’s an admin option to disable open graph then you could try a plug-in
again. Otherwise if messing with the code is not an option my best suggestion
would be to reach out to the theme author, or if there are support forums for
that theme then see if you can find any info there. Perhaps someone else has
had the same problem and found a solution.
* Good luck with it.

* Thanks Michael. I COULD diddle around with the code, but then, if it’s in the
weaver code, it SHOULD be working. I shouldn’t have to noodle around with it…
so, I will try to seek help in the Weaver forums. If it works to use your plugin,
i certainly will. I appreciate your time.

* …and thanks, Ashfame. I just used yours first and it didn’t work, so used Michael’s
after that. I’ll use whatever ultimately works. Thanks for your post!

* I think I have a similar issue.
* I have a WordPress blog with Elegant Themes Polished theme.
There was an ET
advertisement banner in the footer (actually, it wasn’t a real ad, just some
of my friends sites). When I tried to share my site URL on Facebook, it grabbed
the banner images, whatever I tried to do. The theme has an integration option
and I placed the og: tag into the header. No change. Just to test it I added
my logo as a banner. It still showed the previous 2 banner images but the 3rd
one I just added appeared as well at the preview thumbs.
* Then I deleted the banner images and actually deleted the banner. It was a shocking
surprise that sharing on Facebook still showed the banner thumbs, of course,
if I posted the sharing, the image became blank.
* Then Elegant Theme support suggested to use Thumb Fixer plugin, so I installed
and set up the image URL.
* No change, it still shows the non-existing banner thumbs when I try to share.
🙁

* Hi Active Guitar (if that’s your real name),
* Facebook caches the thumb (for 24hrs I’ve read) so often you won’t see the change
immediately. But fear not, Facebook Debugger to the rescue.
* Just add your website URL [here](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug)
and hit the debug button, and then the ‘Fetch new scrape information’ button.
* Actually I’ve just saved you the trouble and done it for you. It all looks good
now. Share your page on Facebook and you should see the thumbnail you wanted.

It was amazingly fast and efficient
support!
