 * Hi,
 * If you share an article it picks up the wrong image. It seems to be picking up
   images from the sidebar rather than the post ralatng to the Facebook share button.
   Any ideas?
 * The URL is blog.weddingplanner.co.uk
 * Many thanks..

 * yea, cuz your theme is including og:type, og:title, og:site_name, og:url meta-
   tags,
    but is missing og:image meta-tag this meta-tag should have the url of 
   the correct image.
 * facebook checks for exisence of this meta-tag and uses its value url for sharing
   
   but as this meta-tag is missing, facebook fetches any suitable image it get 🙂

 * i see the inner pages (post images) incldue image meta
    but the value is set 
   as “[http://blog.weddingplanner.co.uk/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–4337&#8221](http://blog.weddingplanner.co.uk/nextgen-attach_to_post/preview/id–4337&#8221);
   for example
 * i think using the original image path might fix this issue : “[http://blog.weddingplanner.co.uk/wp-content/gallery/medici-macarons/IMG_3771.jpg&#8221](http://blog.weddingplanner.co.uk/wp-content/gallery/medici-macarons/IMG_3771.jpg&#8221);

 * Thanks Vasu…
 * I’m pretty new to WordPress. Is it easy to change the theme to add the og:meta-
   tag? If so where would i go to do that?

 * well, as my second comments says, its adding but in the wrong method
 * are you using “NextGEN Facebook” plugin ?
    if so..please remove it and use any
   other plugin for tags 🙂

 * Yes, I’m using NextGEN…
 * The whole site is based around NextGEN so we can;t drop it. Is that the only 
   way of getting it to work correctly?
