    Hi,

    When I post an url from my (WordPress)site on Facebook or LinkedIn for example an image gets recognized and placed next to the link as a thumbnail. It now seems that a random picture is taken from my website which of course is always the wrong one 🙁

    Is there a way to tell my site that if the url is being shared a specific picture has to be selected?

    Thanks
    Ruben

    There are tons of WordPress Plugins for this. I would look at the WordPress Plugin Repository for it. I've found that you have to play around with a few to actually get what you want to appear. And, in recent searches I've read that Facebook's system also has a role in determining which picture is shown.

    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.
