Issue/Request:
When sharing a blog post on our website to our Facebook page, I am trying to figure out the best way to get nice, properly-sized images to show up in the Facebook preview post. Is there a particular method for doing this in Drupal, or a tutorial somewhere you might be able to refer me to? I’ve done a bit of Googling and this is the closest I came up with: http://cypressnorth.com/social-network-media-marketing/how-to-customize-preview-thumbnail-images-for-pages-on-your-website/
Hello Andrew,
I had the same issue with a site I was working on. Facebook made some updates that break the way images are displayed and selected as the feature image when sharing an URL. I’ve encountered this in the past. It seems that the only way to dictate what gets placed there is by following the instructions on the article you linked. You might want to enable the Metatags Module so that you have the option to enter the tags specified in the article.

thanks again, Josue
