# Facebook share image code

 * Does anyone know of a way (automated) to have WordPress automatically add the
   Facebook share meta code (image src) to each post?
 * Ideally, it would be some sort of plugin that automatically resizes an image 
   added to the post to Facebook’s max share thumbnail size & throws the meta code
   into the header, but a more manual way would be a fine (a plugin integrated into
   the admin that lets you upload/specify an external image).
 * Thanks!

 * Ok, I’ve found a couple things to get me on the right track, but the very first
   step seems to be breaking our blog.
 * I’m trying to add this line to the functions.php file (as per [http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/new-in-wordpress-2-9-post-thumbnail-images/](http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/new-in-wordpress-2-9-post-thumbnail-images/)):
   `
   add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );`
 * …but our main blog page and admin pages crap out (all white page; nothing in 
   source).
 * If I wrap it in an ‘if (function_exists(‘add_theme_support’))’ statement it doesn’t
   crap out, but it still doesn’t seem to reflect any changes, so I assume that 
   function doesn’t exist.
 * We’re using a custom-modified Thematic theme, if that helps.
 * Any thoughts?

 * Nevermind, I’m clearly an idiot. Turns out I was putting this code in the wrong
   functions.php; I was putting it in the main one, and not the one for the theme
   we’re using. :/
