# Find thumbnail folder

 * I am using a jerry-rigged system to stop Google from hotlinking to and using 
   my full-size cartoons. It includes a change to the htaccess file, and also a 
   blank image that pastes itself on top of all hotlinked images (which, of course,
   is Google since February of this year,) and a php file.
 * It works fine, but it also covers thumbnails, and I need thumbnails to link and
   show on Facebook. Getting thumbnails to show on Facebook is an ongoing problem(
   what IS their coding problem there??) but especially with WordPress blogs. There
   have been many plugins to try to fix this problem – I tried 5 out this afternoon,
   with no success, and I think a couple of them screwed up my thumbnail folder.
 * In any case, I wouldn’t need a plugin if I could just fix my php folder and have
   it not work on thumbnails. Here is the code it has now: `//if the filename has
   _thumb in it’s name then we don’t apply the watermark
    if (eregi(“_thumb”, $src)){
   imagejpeg($image, null, $src); die(); } //if`
 * Thanks for any advice on how to add the name of the thumbnail file!

 * I’m not sure about the exact request — but if it’s strictly for Facebook pulling
   images, Facebook looks for open graph images first and will always thumbnail 
   those to url’s. There’s lots of plugins that can add the og:image tag (sorry 
   you had such luck with the 5 before), but there are some that work.
 * The og tag looks like this:
 * `<meta property="og:image" content="http://site.com/image.png" />`
 * Very important note: you bad luck with the 5 might of been because facebook has
   a really strong cashe on images for URL’s, it imediatly associates and sets the
   image for days. When you’re testing on Facebook, try different URL’s, as URL’s
   will associate themselves.. Add additional queries to your URL like `?refresh
   =1` to trick facebook looks for a new image instead of using it’s cashe

 * Davidsword (word or sword, both work!) thanks very much for this. Interesting
   that Facebook has that strong cache.
 * But I really need the name of the thumbnail folder, so I can tell the htaccess
   to allow thumbnails without the protective image on top. I can’t post anything
   on Facebook this way. Apparently it’s not called “thumbnails.”
 * Here is one of my Facebook pages, so you can see what happens on every thumbnail:
