Facebook preview image is always the template image
Posted: Mon May 08, 2017 4:22 pm
Hello,
I've been noticing a problem with my blog images and Facebook. When I post a link to a blog post on FB, SOMETIMES it will put the blog image I chose in the preview, but most of the time it uses the coffee cup logo that was originally in my site's template.
Even if I put an image in the body of the blog, in the "image" slot in the blog post's "settings" tab, AND in the image slot in the "SEO" tab, that darn coffee cup keeps winning out. Same goes for if I post a link to my home page in Facebook's PM system. Not great for branding. :oops:
Is there a way to purge the coffee cup from my system entirely, or to otherwise make it stop showing up? It's especially troublesome when posting in groups - for some reason, FB groups won't allow posters to change the image in their link previews, so it's the coffee cup or nothing.
Thanks in advance, and have a great day.
Stephanie
