    I am experiencing an issue with the (Genesis Simple Share Plugin) where the shares do not use my featured image. I have tried several OG plugins like NGFB etc. with no success at all. When running my post urls through the debugger on the facebook developer site I am prompted with warnings that the OG tags are not provided; Specifically (The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.) I have seen several other sites that are successfully using these tags, with the (Genesis Simple Share Plugin).

    I am currently using a modified theme by Themedy Themes with the Genesis Framwork.

    I have a test blog page that I am currently setting up here:

    I am lost when it comes to understanding what is going wrong. Any information on how to get the (Genesis Simple Share Plugin) to work with the OG tags for sharing the proper image would be most helpful.

    I have currently uninstalled all plugins for OG tags, so I am an empty canvas, ready to try anything.

    This issue is still not resolved. I purchased the NGFB plugin hoping for a fix with the og image, but no luck. No matter what I do, the logo image is cropped, very poorly, and used in the share.

    I have resolved this issue. It turned out that I had changed the urls of my test pages, causing an error with the associated featured image etc. I fount this information using the FaceBook debugger.
