 * Nice plugin but I’m having issues with the Facebook share. I have a post with
   multiple photos. When I try to share on Facebook it takes the second to the last
   picture.
 * How do I get SMF to pick the first photo in the post?

 * I’ve discovered something over on the Facebook side that might shed some light
   on this but is not a solution.
 * Apparently when a third party accesses Facebook, as in this case, FB gives the
   app a choice as to which photo picking method to use. One of those methods is“
   Let FB pick.” Others are “First photo”, “Specify a photo”, etc.
 * This is just a guess on my part that the SMF plugin did not specify which photo
   and FB is happily choosing any ol’ thing.

 * [@redbeautytextiles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redbeautytextiles/):
   You should link to a page showing the issue
 * That being said, the plugin always tries to tell facebook to use either the featured
   image (if set) or if not the first image in the post. Facebook can however disregard
   this parameter we send in and sometimes it does (either because your site uses
   OpenGraph tags that specify different things, or because Facebook already cached
   your page info).

 * Is there any workaround in regards to this issue? I don’t use featured images
   and I notice that it matters what device I am using where as to what image is
   picked from post or page.
 * Is there a way to edit SMF so that images just are not taken from the blog site?

 * What do you mean by “not taken from the blog site”? The only thing you can do
   to get more refined control over which images are share on FB is to install an
   OpenGraph plugin that allows you to edit this info.
