    I’ve been desperately trying to figure out a way to share my photos onto Facebook. It’s been choosing my side bar image or logo when I attempt to use my share buttons or when I manually share the link. It won’t even let me choose from the many pictures I posted. Help?

    According to the Facebook Debugger, you have some errors in your page when trying to share it.

    One that stops it is that the fb:admins value is invalid. A bunch of stuff in there – but it chokes on the very first character (which is “{“). It looks like an array perhaps, but the values are invalid.

    Also, you don’t have a valid image for your site – this is according to the plugin.

    Check your plugin settings for WordPress Facebook Open Graph protocol – the admins are incorrect, and the image is missing. Correcting these may help.

    Thanks jayseae. How can I go about finding and fixing the fb:admin value issue? I’m kind of a novice.

    Hi lauragingerich,

    the plugin that generates OpenGraph protocols for your website (the rules of Facebook sharing), is called “WordPress Facebook Open Graph protocol plugin (WPFBOGP v2.0.10) http://rynoweb.com/wordpress-plugins/” – you can try and fix the issue through the plugin’s settings on your WP admin panel.

    Otherwise, I suggest a different plugin: WP OpenGraph.
