 * Hi,
 * I need help to resolve two issues I have with getting ShareThis to work properly.
 * The first is the metatags. On my main blog page, when I click on the “Share” 
   button, I have an image of a camera showing, but my thumbnail is not appearing.
 * However, the metatags are working on my pages and all of my posts that are not
   on the main page.
 * Here are the pages were the metatags are working on the ShareThis button:

   [http://anniehearts.com/blog/my-house/#sthash.DVc8o9Tz.dpbs](http://anniehearts.com/blog/my-house/#sthash.DVc8o9Tz.dpbs)
 * Here is where none of my posts are showing the thumbnail or the first few lines
   of text:

 * The second issue is getting my Facebook “follow” button working on my fan page.
   I’ve tried all kinds of usernames (my email and IDs) but I can’t seem to get 
   the right one. Also, the Facebook follow button is not appearing on my website
   at all.
 * I appreciate any help!

 * Update: I’ve found another way to display a Facebook follow button, so that’s
   resolved.
 * However, I’m still trying to figure out how to fix the metatag problem.
 * Anyone??

 * Hello Annie,
 * As we can see that the image you have specified in the “og:image” tag is a bit
   large image and hence buttons are not picking-up the images.
 * <meta property=”og:image” content=”[http://anniehearts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/IMG_6812.jpg&#8221](http://anniehearts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/IMG_6812.jpg&#8221);/
   >
 * Please add the image with small size and the buttons will properly show-up the
   image while sharing.
    We have checked it by adding a small image and the result
   is – [http://screencast.com/t/qr26Psyl](http://screencast.com/t/qr26Psyl)
 * Please implement and let us know if you face any issues.

 * Sorry to revive the relatively old thread,
    I had a discussion with Annie, and
   maybe can explain a bit more:
 * The ShareThis button on the specific post page works fine, but when it is displayed
   on the blog page for specific post – it does show the correct title and url for
   the post, but not the Description or Image.
 * Besides, the image is displayed properly for Like button etc. even on the blog
   page and just ShareThis button fails to display the image.

 * If still the problem persists and on some specific posts only, then we suggest
   you to uninstall and re-install the ShareThis Plugin.
