I've noticed recently that when I've shared articles or pages from my site on Facebook, there is no image associated with the page. I'm not sure if this is a theme issue, but it was working before we changed over to TheFox. Is there somewhere that I need to include an image for sites like Facebook to pick up?
This was specifically related to sharing a URL on Facebook (such as http://www.cowovermoon.ca/jack-and-the-beanstalk/ and the homepage) - it doesn\'t seem to pick up any information or images (both pages have a featured image in place as well).
I tried sharing a blog post using the Facebook share button and the same issue happened.
Hello guys, I\'m having the problem when I try to share a blog post through the theme share buttons on Facebook, when it\'s post through the button it shows the image from previous post. If I try to share the first post then there is no images associated.
When I just copy the post link straight to Facebook that works perfect, it shows the proper picture.
The problem has been solved automatically once I get the theme updated. I had, if I\'m not wrong, v1.35, now 1.5 and there is no issues sharing the posts through the social media icons.

Hello Blair,
To add an image to share for facebook you need to use a meta tag

Hello guys,
I\'m having the problem when I try to share a blog post through the theme share buttons on Facebook, when it\'s post through the button it shows the image from previous post. If I try to share the first post then there is no images associated.

Thank you in advance,

Hello Rodrigo,
This is strange, do you have set the meta for facebook? ( see previous reply )
Also do you have a link?

Hello TheFox Support,
When I try to share this post through the Facebook share button from the template http://rodrigofolch.com.ar/venta/vendo-lensbaby-spark-50mm-f5-6-selective-focus-lens/ it shows the mountain lion from the previous post http://rodrigofolch.com.ar/noticias/bienvenidos/
The link you share was it related to a share a web page instead of the blog post, right?
By the way, is there any way to suscribe to this ticket and receive the answer notification?
Thanks!
Hello Rodrigo,
Unfortunately I don\'t think this is currently possible.
Could you please create a new ticket.
Thanks
