    How to have article's image shown when shared in facebook?

    Posted 15 years 7 months ago
    • When I share my articles on facebook, the article's images aren't included (=can't be chosen) as previews. Why?

      I've added the below code within <head> of index.php to show a preview of my website, in case articles don't have images. And it works.
      <link rel="image_src" href="http://www.website.com/preview.jpg" />
      Articles' metadata descriptions are also working.

      The only thing not working is articles' images not shown in facebook.

      Anyone?

      Thanks.

    • I've tried adding the <link rel="image_src".... code in articles with no luck.

      Do you think the <link rel="image_src" in template's index.php overrides the one in the articles?

    • Hi, i just found this old thread while searching for a solution for my problem. I had no luck at all - not even with the link-rel code in the head of my page (but maybe I screwed it up...)

      Just posted the problem here, maybe you have found a solution already and could give me a hint ... ?

    • Yeah, found the problem! It was the plugin "Bad Behaviour". Now everything's fine.
