 * Hi,
 * I have GeneratePress installed with a Child theme called Active. What I cannot
   figure out is what setting do I change to select an image so that when I copy
   and paste my stores link, to say Facebook, it’s shows and image instead of a 
   white box.
 * I know I am probably not describing it too well but usually when I post links
   they show the main pages image or something else the Web Master has set. But 
   when I past my link, it is just a white background.
 * I also purchased all the addons for GeneratePress so maybe it is in one of those?

 * I even set the Site Identity – Site Icon, but that only shows in browser tabs.
   There is a setting somewhere that controls what the link image will be when posting
   to social media and the link, anyone know?

 * Hi there,
 * A plugin like this may help: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/)
 * It sets your open graph tags so that social media sites grab the correct images.
 * Let me know 🙂
