When I Share Some Post Of My Forum In Facebook, Doesn't Appear The Thumbnail Image, Just Text And The Link
-----------------------------------
Well, as I said, when I share a new post on Facebook doesn't show any images of my post, just appear the title, and the link.

I was looking for some solution in internet, and some guy recommended something about meta tags, or something like that. But I don't know anything about this, at all.

Could you help me? I need Facebook to show the thumbnail images of my forum posts, without the need for me to upload the images from my computer.

Nice to say hello to everybody!  :mryellow:

Hi Cristianita,
Facebook is the same as Youtube.

If you want to add a thumbnail, then you would most likely have to upload the original snapshot to their album or whatever they use?

Aside from that, this question would be better asked at Facebook?

Yes I believe this is a Facebook API issue. A Plugin I use on one of my WordPress websites has the exact same issue is one does not know how to use the Facebook system to the fullest. It is a PITA if you ask me.
