# Google Share not working correctly

 * Not really sure when this happened, because I SO rarely even use Google+ … but
   in checking all the share buttons I noticed that the Google+ share selected a
   random, unrelated photo from the post *sidebar* (as opposed to any of the main
   post’s images or, most logically, the *primary* image for the post), making the
   share functionally useless. (Imagine a share for an obituary, with a random ad
   image displaying!)
 * Is there a way to fix or edit this? The Facebook and Twitter shares pull from
   YoastSEO, but there are no options for any other social shares there any longer.
 * What are my options? (Other than simply giving up on Google+ like most of the
   rest of the world.)

 * Hi singout,
 * Many apologies for the delayed response.
 * A good SEO plugin should be adding a tag especially:
 * `<meta itemprop="image" content="http://example.com/mycoolimage.png">`
 * Simple Share Buttons Plus adds this with the meta functino enabled, please check
   into what your theme/seo plugins are doing to see if they are adding this.
 * Thanks,
 * David
