How does Facebook Sharer select Images?
Want to have share thumbnail when user shares site url using share button on site which uses http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php to achieve that.
Site dose not have img tags, all images are defined in css.
I added meta tags for image:
<meta property="og:image" content="/images/branding/branding-logo.png"/>
and
<link rel="image_src" href="/images/branding/branding-logo.png"/>
but it's not working :(
The Facebook debug tool is the easiest way to troubleshoot Facebook thumbnail issues. Simply copy the URL of your WordPress post and paste it in the debugger tool. After that click on the Scrape Again button, and Facebook will update the thumbnail for your post.
Head to the 'Facebook Link Debugger'. Enter the link to your site, click the 'scrape' button a few times. Keep clicking it until your new preview image you just uploaded appears in the preview area. And presto!
You might not be seeing the Facebook link preview you want because the info has been cached by Facebook. (Facebook saves the info from URLs and pages that have already been shared, for better performance.) So you just may need to force Facebook to clear the cache. 1.
Use the full list of Open Graph Meta Tags:
Also use absolute URLs instead of relative!
EDIT:
Please note that Facebook caches webpages for specific periods so you may not notice your changes right away. A good way to check if Facebook is/will actually take your changes is by faking a parameter in your URL.
for example if your URL reads: http://example.com/index.php
Add something like: http://example.com/index.php?123
and then use it in the URL Linter. ;-)
EDIT 2:
You could directly use the Facebook Linter (now called Debugger), but be aware that some data cannot be changed in some cases, described here:
Editing Meta Tags
You can update the attributes of your page by updating your page's tags. Note that og:title and og:type are only editable initially - after your page receives 50 likes the title becomes fixed, and after your page receives 10,000 likes the type becomes fixed. These properties are fixed to avoid surprising users who have liked the page already. Changing the title or type tags after these limits are reached does nothing, your page retains the original title and type.
Paste your ulr here https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ . The facebook Open Graph Debugger will tell you exactly what is reading from your page. And also will update facebook cache of your page so it can try to read images from it again.
