# Error when debugging

 * When I debug a url on facebook, I get the following errors:
 * Like Button Tag Missing – og:image is missing. The og:image meta tag is necessary
   for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through 
   rate.
 * Inferred Property – The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even
   if a value can be inferred from other tags.
 * Why does this happen, how can I correct these errors?
 * Regards

 * The Facebook plugin for WordPress attempts to automatically add Facebook featured
   image based on a post’s featured image or gallery shortcodes. You can [add your own images](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-open-graph-protocol-for-your-site-or-network)
   such as a site logo by adding some code to your theme’s `functions.php` file 
   or dropping a PHP file into `mu-plugins`.

 * When I followed this, it worked great without the og:image error message.
 * But the only problem then is when a user tries to share the link on facebook 
   etc, it shows the fall back image rather than the image associated with the article.
 * How can this be fixed?

 * You may test your URLs in the [Facebook URL debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug).
   If your provided image is too small Facebook might skip the image in search of
   something larger.

 * The problem I have now with the og:image is that it displays when submitting 
   on social media sites rather than the article image.
 * The article image is bigger than the og image and should be displayed?
 * Any help appreciated?
